Get Out of Your Comfort Zone This Year

Happy New Year, y’all, and welcome to 2022!

It’s that time of year again…

Lots of people are making resolutions, setting goals, and planning for the brand new year ahead. 

I thought about making this episode about things like goal setting and time management, which are definitely important to success…but that’s not what I’m focusing on today. 

Instead, I’m taking a deep dive into the place where growth happens: Outside of your comfort zone. 

Some people (like my husband) are natural-born risk takers, and the idea of being trapped by a comfort zone doesn’t really apply to them. 

I am not one of those people. 

Getting out of my comfort zone is something I’ve always struggled with, both personally and professionally. 

The pandemic definitely hasn’t helped matters for me, and I’ve been finding it more difficult than usual to put myself out there.

But I know from experience that growth doesn’t happen in the safety of your comfort zone, and I don’t want my business or my personal life to stop growing. 

So, we continue to push forward.

If we don’t, that little world will take up more and more space, until you’re isolated in a prison of your own making. 

I’ve seen it happen even to people who always seemed outgoing and adventurous…until one day, they got stuck in a rut that they never climbed out of. 

So if you’re ready to make this your year of change, growth, and personal and professional improvement, you need to figure out where the boundaries of your comfort zone are, and push yourself past them as much as possible.

In this episode, I’m discussing:

  • How to get out of your comfort zone, and why you need to
  • The impact of the pandemic on our comfort zones
  • Why staying in your comfort zone is dangerous
  • The importance of goal setting and time management
  • Tips and questions to make sure you continue to grow
  • And more.
