4 Ways to Break Out of Your Comfort Zone
Working toward a goal takes a lot of self-development, including accepting the work it takes to achieve the goal while pushing yourself to reach greater levels. And when you get to a new level of personal growth and development, it can feel different and exciting. Sooner or later, though, what was once new and exciting can now become normal and routine.
The verdict? You’re in your comfort zone!
While it’s fine to hang out there for a little and give yourself a short rest, remember that your goals are calling! TaskHuman coaches want to help your personal journey, and this growth can’t happen when stuck in your comfort zone. So—they’ve created a list of four ways to break out of your comfort zone.
1. Go Inside Yourself
We often have the answers to our problems inside ourselves. We just need to get quiet enough to hear what our thoughts and feelings are trying to tell us. Going inward is just as important as giving yourself a little bit of grace. Be honest with yourself, without beating yourself up.

If you’re a list-maker, journaling can be a good way to help you get a better understanding of what’s keeping you in your comfort zone. Journaling can allow for our deeper thoughts to come forward, and we can often learn something about ourselves that was a little bit hidden.

2. Take Baby Steps
Once you realize why you’re in your comfort zone, then you need to work to get out of it. For many TaskHuman coaches, the easiest way out is by recognizing what’s in your comfort zone, and what is not in your comfort zone, and then taking baby steps toward getting out of that stagnated state.
When you make small changes or take small steps outside of your comfort zone, you still feel somewhat “safe.” You recognize the risk is not as great as it could be, so you are more likely to take the step. Making a plan or outline to help guide you can also be a good idea to help you move toward your goal.

3. Design a Challenge
Sometimes we stay in our comfort zone because we’ve achieved the goal and don’t feel we have anything to work toward.
That’s when creating a new goal or challenge for yourself will help you break out of your comfort zone. The new goal will give you focus and will make you stretch yourself. It doesn’t need to be an extremely difficult challenge. It just needs to be something that will push you.

Setting up even small challenges can be intimidating. No matter how small the challenge is, you will need to push yourself to do it. Sometimes that is the trick. Just get started. You don’t always need to know everything.

4. Get a Coach
When we’re working toward a goal, there will be times when we don’t feel motivated. Maybe we haven’t seen the progress we want, maybe we’re just lacking motivated, or maybe you still need to do the work.
One of the biggest benefits of having a coach is that you have someone to push you when you’re not motivated to push yourself.

Goals can be applied to any area of our lives. Having a coach who can help you see your weaknesses and teach you the tools to overcome those weaknesses will help you get out of your comfort zone and make progress toward your goals.
Breaking out of your comfort zone is a necessary part of reaching your goals. You need to do something different to accomplish things you haven’t done before. TaskHuman coaches are ready to help guide you through finding where it is, designing challenges, and leading you through the baby steps to leave your comfort zone.
