Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

One of the hardest things for people to do is to get out of their comfort zone. It's this invisible box that keeps you safe from all your worries. What is it that makes up so afraid to do something different? Why is it exciting for some and not for others? I, unfortunately, am one of those people who do not like getting out of their comfort zone. I recently got a promotion at my job, and they had be trying to promote me since September, but that feeling of discomfort held me back. I could've been a manager for 6 months now, but I just was too afraid. Now I decided to step out of my comfort zone, and take this opportunity to move up and better myself in my job.

Being afraid ruins so much for you and holds you back from living to your life to its fullest potential. Sometimes we have to learn to not stuck in our heads and realize things were not as bad as we first assumed they would be. Sometimes if you want to get somewhere in life, you have to be willing to do things that make you a little uncomfortable and the outcome will be amazing. You might even realize that you love doing that thing you've always been scared to do. It's all about taking risk and living life freely and fearlessly.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?
