6 Ways To Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

In This Article:

Sometimes it's hard to figure out when to just relax and take time for yourself, and when to reach out of your comfort zone. Living can get monotonous sometimes, so it's important to try new things and venture out of your comfort zone every once in a while. These might not be the same for everyone, but here are some ways I get out of my comfort zone.

1. Compliment a stranger

Giphy

Some people might think this is weird, but it surely brightens someone's day. Taking time to be nice to a complete stranger might be something out of the ordinary, but can be good for both parties.

2. Make travel plans to go somewhere you never thought you'd go

Giphy

There are plenty of ways to travel on the cheap side, and plenty of places to go that you might never have thought of before.

3. Go to that social event that makes you a bit nervous

Giphy

Yes, staying in and watching Netflix can be nice sometimes, but it's good to get out and be around people.

4. Try a new food

Giphy

Order something other than your normal chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-a. You never know, you might like it even better.

5. Sign up for a random club that interests you

Giphy

Same thing as last, you might find that you like it.

6. Take a class outside of your major/requirements that interests you

Giphy

Wanted to take an Art History class but your major is Biology? Do it anyways.

Try new things, venture out of your comfort zone, and be adventurous every once in a while.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
