As a little girl, I was terrified when my teacher asked the class something. I never raised my hand first, afraid of failure, afraid of being in the picture. I&#039;d rather duck into my comfort zone, safely in the back of the classroom. I lived like this for years. But the very moment when I did make myself known in different areas and overcame my fear, were at the same time the moments of the most growth. What was your biggest fear and how did you overcome it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risico&#8217;s kunnen en willen nemen door buiten je comfortzone te treden, is de belangrijkste manier waarop we groeien. Maar we zijn vaak bang om die eerste stap te zetten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In feite gaat jouw comfortzone niet echt over comfort, ze gaan juist over angst. Doorbreek de ketens van angst om naar buiten te komen. Als je dat eenmaal doet, zul je leren genieten van het proces van risico&#8217;s nemen en groeien in het proces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are 10 ways to step out of your comfort zone and get closer to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Run towards your fears. Embrace them. On the other side of your greatest fears lives your greatest life.<\/p><cite>Robin Sharma (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinsharma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"lin (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">lin<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinsharma.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"link (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">k<\/a>)<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Be aware of what&#039;s outside of your comfort zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What things do you think are worth doing, but are afraid to do yourself because of the chance of disappointment or failure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand what&#039;s within your comfort zone, there is a great simple exercise to draw a circle on a piece of paper. Everything you experience in your life right now is within your comfort zone (your circle): your current health status, your personal condition, your parenting style, the friendships you have, your current job, your financial condition and much more Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything you desire in your life, but currently don&#039;t have, is just outside the circle, and getting it inside the circle will probably require you to do something new or different. You will have to step outside your comfort zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt-696x411.jpg 696w, https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Wees-je-bewust-van-wat-zich-buiten-jouw-comfortzone-bevindt-711x420.jpg 711w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Be aware of what&#039;s outside of your comfort zone (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/nl-nl\/foto\/wees-nooit-bang-op-typemachine-2272193\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"image (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">fig<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Be clear about what you want to overcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your list of inconveniences and go deeper. Remember that the primary emotion you are trying to overcome is fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does this fear affect any situation? Be very specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you afraid of walking up to people and introducing yourself in social situations? Why? Is it because you are unsure about the sound of your voice? Are you unsure about your appearance? Or are you afraid of being ignored?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Get comfortable with discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to get outside your comfort zone is to literally expand it. Make it a goal to avoid running away from discomfort and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#039;s stick with the theme of meeting people in social settings. If you panic a little when talking to someone you&#039;ve just met, try to hang around a bit longer than you normally would before retreating back into your comfort zone. If you stay long enough and exercise often enough, it will become less uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Think of failure as a teacher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of us are so afraid of failure that we would rather do nothing than make an effort to make our dreams come true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start dealing with your failures. What have you learned from the experience? How can you take that lesson with you on your next adventure to increase your chances of success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many very successful people often failed before they succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Take baby steps to step out of your comfort zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#039;t try to jump outside your comfort zone, you&#039;ll likely get overwhelmed and jump right back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Move <a href=\"https:\/\/codetofreedom.com\/en\/best-way-kaizen-philosophy-personal-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"small steps (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">baby steps<\/a> toward the fear you are trying to overcome. If you want to speak in public, first take every opportunity to speak to small groups of people. You can even practice with family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hang out with risk takers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get better at something, you have to start interacting with the people who are doing what you want to do and following them. It is almost inevitable that their influence will begin to affect your behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Be honest with yourself when you try to make excuses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Zeg niet &#8220;Oh, ik heb hier nu gewoon geen tijd voor.&#8221; Wees in plaats daarvan eerlijk en zeg &#8220;Ik ben bang om dit te doen.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#039;t make excuses, just be honest. If you confront yourself with what is really bothering you, your chances are really many times greater to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Don&#039;t take yourself too seriously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leer om jezelf te lachen als je fouten maakt. Het nemen van risico&#8217;s brengt onvermijdelijk mislukkingen en tegenslagen met zich mee, waardoor je soms dwaas overkomt op anderen. Wees blij om te te vallen en weer op te staan als anderen plezier hebben. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Focus on the fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy the process of going beyond your safe limits. Enjoy the pleasure of discovering things about yourself that you may not have been aware of before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will seem very scary at first to get out of your comfort zone. But like I said, you don&#039;t have to jump out of your comfort zone right away, you can take baby steps gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you slowly push yourself past your comfort zone, you will feel more and more comfortable about the new things that seemed so dangerous to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the first step and I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll make it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eigenlijk heeft iedereen wel een comfortzone.
