Thoughts | Why we Should Step out of our Comfort Zone

We all have a comfort zone. It encompasses certain behaviors, implicit norms and rules we have created for ourselves, psychological defense mechanisms, the people we like, the motivation we need to carry on and many other things. It explains the way we live in order to feel most comfortable.  I imagine it to be something like a bubble that has been shaped throughout our lives by the experience we gained, the people we met and the things we learned. It grew as we became more open and tolerant while we explored new sites of ourselves. On the other side, it was also affected by sudden shocks that made it shrink and us more careful. In any case, it required us to step out of it and has enriched us with valuable experience. However, the longer we stay in our comfort zone, the harder it will get to step out of it and forgo the feeling of the save and familiar. We would end up living in the same old bubble for the rest of our time, not realizing that the world as well as we as an individual have so much more to offer.
