Throughout our lifetime, we may be faced with some uncomfortable and scary things that mean we have to leave our comfort zone. Sometimes this causes a tremendous amount of anxiety and even physical pain. What you have to ask yourself is, what would happen if I don’t do this?

Leaving your comfort zone can be terrifying. However, you will never know unless you try. This is something we all need to work on, as we will be faced with more and more challenging times as we grow older.

In general, we all dislike change. We’d rather stay where we are than try new things, because we fear the worst. We think that leaving our little bubble will cause harm to us – that’s all we’ve ever known, so why would you want to change?

I get it. It’s hard. But it is vital that you push yourself every single day. Try something new, go back to an old hobby. Do something each day that challenges you. You never know what that may lead to.

So, if you’re currently debating whether or not to leave your comfort zone for a particular thing in your life right now, instead of thinking about the worst thing that might happen, make a list of all the positives that may come out of it. As soon as you change this way of thinking, everything becomes a lot easier. Trust me, I’ve been there. I’m continuously growing and doing things I don’t really want to do. But that’s a part of life, unfortunately. We have to keep doing new things to keep life exciting! Life can get so boring if we stay in the same routine forever. So why not change it?
