Leaving your comfort zone can be taken unconditionally as a prerequisite for personal growth. But do not blindly believe the authors of such statements. You need to think about whether this very exit is so important and why it is needed at all.

Step 1
Psychologists call the comfort zone a person's habitual environment. From day to day he performs memorized actions, happens in similar circumstances, visits familiar places. It is believed that because of this routine, people begin to live automatically, stop noticing the beauty of nature, do not dare to take advantage of the chances that fate gives, and do not realize their potential.
Step 2
Coaches, as well as personal growth coaches, sometimes advise those who want to diversify their lives and learn about their own resources, more often to do unusual things that are completely unusual for a given personality. Thus, a person must challenge himself, overcome his fears and learn to cope with stress in unforeseen situations.
Step 3
However, not all exercises that are suggested as ways out of your comfort zone are appropriate. For example, what could be in public in pajamas or pestering a stranger with a stupid question? Why, without a specific goal, force a naturally modest person to open up to a large audience? These examples are taken from real-life lessons.
Step 4
It is understood that at first a person will feel uncomfortable, and then he will realize that nothing terrible has happened. There is one "but": the effect of such exercises will not last for a long time. This experience is quickly forgotten, and human nature cannot be changed by several situations. Plus, it's impossible to prepare for all the stress threats in life.
Step 5
It is possible to benefit from the new information from the exercise to get out of the comfort zone if it is done without being too extreme. For example, while learning something fundamentally new, a person constantly expands his boundaries, grows above himself and does not feel stupid. This is a positive example of stepping out of your comfort zone. This also includes traveling, meeting new, interesting people under natural circumstances, and many other pleasant things.
