The term 'Comfort Zone' is defined in the dictionary as "A situation where one feels at comfort or at ease." Every one of us confine ourselves to these comfort zones in order to make our life more comfortable and easier.
So let's say if a certain someone in your life tells you to or makes you come out of comfort zone, what would your initial reaction be??
Generally, people's reaction can be somewhat similar to this:
Of course, the answers would also range from what, why should I do it? to I am not going to do it.
Even the first thought of getting yourself out of the comfort zone would start making you feel awry.
Curious enough to know why does this happen?? Keep on reading
Comfort zone is like a stagnation in one's life and one of the core reason why people fear to get out of it because they are fearful. Fear their long-standing ideals and beliefs being challenged. They feel that even if they try new things it might put them into situations that they don't have control over. This feeling, in turn, supports their idea of being fearful in the first place. As a result, they never take the leap or make that change which can actually benefit them immensely.
Also, in a general sense its difficult for humans at large to develop a new perspective or even see things from a different point of view.
However, there are several benefits if one does take the leap ignoring the fear of learning a new way or being in a situation which they may not be acquainted with.
A person who gets out of his usual way of approaching things may find himself more productive. As comfort generally kills productivity. As we may start working according to how we may feel at ease and that may limit our ability to do work. Hence, it helps to extend our individual boundaries and even find new ways to work.
Leaning new skills or enriching oneself with new experiences gives might help the person new insight towards it. Also, it results in questioning old ideas and beliefs and gaining new knowledge, thus taking us away from confirmation bias. Confirmation bias is our tendency to only seek out information which we already agree with, which further results in us not learning anything new.
You just got to step outside of your comfort zone for once. As only doing it for the first time is difficult. after that, you get used to it and what initially you used to spark a feeling of fear and anxiety would be now replaced with a zeal and enthusiasm to learn new things.
A quote by Andrew Murphy says "We are only confined by the walls we build ourselves." Which means we ourselves limit what we can do and what we cant. Henceforth, instead of confining oneself, one should take the leap and keeping aside the feeling of fear and come out of the comfort zone.
On an ending note, this quote sums all up:
