First you need to figure out what kind of animal this "comfort zone" is. Many people understand the concept of "comfort" as convenience, and often, everyday convenience. But the comfort zone is a kind of habitual way of life and a way of action to which a person is accustomed, but this prevents him from overcoming himself and taking impressive steps towards self-development. And such a habit is no more beneficial than smoking or drugs. This comfort zone must be left, otherwise there is a risk of remaining at the current level of development and degrading over time.
Leaving your comfort zone is always unpleasant, painful and difficult. But, remaining in it, a person simply will not achieve anything, and will not even set certain goals for himself. After all, it is convenient to live monotonously, no changes will dare to unsettle and start thinking.
So development is movement. What is needed in order to qualitatively change your life:
Change everyday life
This point implies transformation of the way of everyday activities. You can start by waking up earlier than usual, changing your workplace, you can even rearrange the room, instead of watching TV, read articles on a topic of interest. Returning from work, get off the minibus a couple of stops earlier and walk the remaining distance to the house. This step is aimed at developing adaptability to change. The first step is always the hardest, but it must be done.
Self-determination and self-knowledge
For further development, you need to clearly define for yourself: “what I want”, “what can I”, “what I need to change in myself in order to achieve the goal”, “what I need to do to achieve the goal”. It is necessary to reflect on what personality characteristics are already in place, and it is important that you need to be honest with yourself. You should write on a sheet of paper in two columns your positive and negative qualities. And you need to summarize the lists with what qualities are needed to feel good in the desired place, what qualities need to be re-educated in order to achieve the greatest productivity on the way to achieving the desired result.
Motivation
There can be no successful activity without motivation. A person should clearly and clearly know why he is doing this or that business. He must determine why he needs it, what it gives him. It is worth answering the question: "why do I need this." It is impossible to achieve any result without realizing the importance and necessity of your actions.
You need to adhere to this algorithm so as not to immerse yourself in the mundane. It is necessary to act so that stagnation in development does not put an end to the meaning of life. Nobody said that changing is easy, but worth it. You should start, and then it will be easier. A new lifestyle will certainly become a habit, which will become the beginning of continuous development.
