Some people like to live a life of comfort. They prefer things to be easy and they don't want to try anything new. But the truth is that being comfortable can lead to stagnation and boredom, which can lead to negative emotions such as apathy and depression. In order for your life to be fulfilled, you need some variety in it.
So here are some suggestions on how to get out of the comfort zone.
1. Change of location
We have all heard that traveling is one of the best ways to see the world, and I agree with that. But it is also a great way to challenge yourself and see things from a new perspective. When you travel, you want to avoid being satisfied with everything, as if everything there was always beautiful and perfect in itself. You need to be able to appreciate local culture, and this is only possible when you are well-prepared to operate in a new environment.
2. Change of environment
If the previous advice didn't work for you, then I suggest you change your environment. How can you better know what your life is about if it is always the same thing? You need to change locations so that everything becomes familiar. One of the best ways to do that is by moving to a new house. It's really important to live in a place that is comfortable for you, but it shouldn't be so comfortable that it doesn't offer anything else. Besides, if you have the courage, it will make you more enterprising and outgoing.
3. Change of career
If your lifestyle doesn't change much according to your work, then chances are things won't change either for you. You need to work in order to earn money, but why can't you have some fun? Try something new in your free time. If you decide that you don't like it so much, then at least you got a chance to explore it. This will make changes more exciting and ultimately lead to your personal growth.
4. Change of habits
We all know that life is full of routines, which makes life easier for us, but this can become problematic if we start considering it as the only way to live our lives. It is very important to break your routines and try something new. When you are doing the same things over and over again, it becomes easier for you to get comfortable, but you can easily forget about the rest of the world. It's time to shake things up by trying to change your habits from time to time. This will not only make you more interesting and more dynamic, but it will also improve your health.
5. Change of beliefs
If your job, habits and whereabouts don't define who you are, then your beliefs do. When you change your beliefs, you automatically change the way you approach life. You become more open and flexible to new opportunities. And if there is one thing that will never make you happy, then it is being closed to new opportunities. So make sure that you review your beliefs from time to time. It is very easy to forget about the things that are important and focus more on superficial things instead. The better your beliefs match reality, the less of a chance you will have for depression or apathy.
6. Change of values
Sometimes we just need to change the way of seeing things. You shouldn't be so caught up by the world as if it was a prison, but you should be able to adapt and change when necessary. If reality is changing, then the same should happen with your view on it. This way, you will have a better chance of having a fulfilling life. When you keep on changing your values according to the current situation, you will never be able to truly grow and learn from anything. And who wants that?
7. Change of attitude
You probably know that there are some universal truths about human nature. We are all selfish, we are all greedy, angry, sad and tired. But the truth is that we don't have to be like that. It only happens this way when we don't fight these negative urges. We can always change our attitude towards life and towards ourselves. So no matter how you see things right now, you need to view them in a different light for them to change for the better.
