Do you know what things are outside of your comfort zones? Do you challenge yourself to go outside of your comfort zones regularly, or do you do all you can to ensure you always stay within your comfort zones?
For me it very much depends in what context the question is being asked, here’s why – If it’s something in my personal life I’d say I’m much more likely to stay within my comfort zone, and not try and do anything that I feel is outside of that, though I do find some others have encouraged me to things I would never have thought I could do, but through their words of encouragement I’ve found I’ve managed to do them, albeit I’d still prefer not to! When it comes to work, while I would definitely prefer to stay within my comfort zone, my job doesn’t really allow me to do that, so whether I like it or not, I have to take on roles and responsibilities that I otherwise would have avoided. That said, I can do these tasks, however if I had to choose if I did them or not, I would choose not to, but as they’re required as part of my role, I just have to get one with them – I do find, I’m getting less nervous/stressed about some of them the more I do them…but I still would rather not.
How about you, how do you get on when you have to do thing that are outside of your comfort zone?
