Moving Out of Your Comfort Zone

When is it safe to move out your comfort zone? Most people construct a comfort zone for themselves by surrounding themselves with situations or people they fill comfortable with. These comfort zones can sometimes hinder people from growing as a person. They can be restricting and cause barrier to form around the person. Closing out new people or new situations. On the other hand some people never settle down enough to form a barrier and this can cause just as much trouble. This could mean that the person will more than likely only rely on himself/herself and can have deep trust issues.

So does that mean that it is never going to be a win-win situation? So when is it safe to break down the barriers and move on? Or start building more trust relationships? The best way to avoid both situations is to give yourself an even balance of change in your life. This can mean anything from trying a new restuarant to trying a new city or job. Going out and exploring, doing something that is not in character of you. To those who have already built up your barrier, you can tear it down a little at a time, you don't have to do it all at once. Try doing small things first and then more on to something bigger. To those who have not built the barrier because lack of trust or for whatever reason, follow the same advice. Start little by little, things will change, hopefully for the better, over time.

Until next time... :} Jailyn
