Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

I used to believe that I wanted an easy life, a life with no stress or worries, and when I reached a high professional point with high income, a house, car and good group of friends, I didn't realize that in actual fact you need to push yourself in different ways.

Increases Confidence

Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, weather that is meeting new people, speaking at event, traveling to a new country with a new culture or bungy jumping when you're scared of heights, only increases confidence.

It shows you that you are capable of doing more than you originally thought, that you're will to try new things when most people aren't and it exposes you to a variety of situations.

Growth Mindset

Once you start to do things you're not comfortable in, it actually starts to become addicting as you receive an immense sense of satisfaction once it's done. You feel proud of yourself for putting yourself in that situation, embracing it and learning from it.

You then start to think of even more ways to get out of your comfort zone, how can you push yourself even more, what else can you learn about yourself and so on.

Reduced Regret

I always used to feel guilty that I wasn't testing myself enough, that I was playing it far too safe and I was letting myself down.

A quote is love is 'You know what's scary, being in the exact same position as you were last year'

Boosts Your Creativity

If you follow the same routine, doing the same things, speaking with the same types of people, then your mind will go onto autopilot. By trying new things it will challenge you to think on your feet and get creative. Thinking spontaneously can help you come up with new ideas.

Enhanced Performance

With your increased confidence, creativity, growth mindset and in general a better view of yourself, well it's only going to enhance your performance. Weather this is in your career, health, friendships, any area of your life, it will be greatly improved.

All of this work on your self-development, which a large part of getting out of your comfort zone actually is, will enable you to perform at a much higher standard than before with all of your improvements and learnings.

Live an Enriching Life

You'll start to realize who you are as a person, what your true passions are, your strengths and weaknesses, and find purpose in how you actually want to live your life.

You are leaving the old you behind you who was comfortable, and embarking on a journey of discovery and growth.
