Stepping Out Of 'The Comfort Zone'

Saturday 10 February 2018


When it comes to learning something new, meeting new people, accepting new opportunities, achieving a goal you've worked so hard for, and numerous other challenges, it's known that stepping out of your comfort zone may be one way you achieve it. That being said, the thought of this completely terrifies me. Leaving my little 'bubble' or safe place is usually my last thought. Why would I put myself out there, to only lead to rejection and vulnerability? But also, that same action could also provide happiness and newness? I find myself stuck in the in between almost always.


I have always been a person that isn't the biggest fan of change, even if it's small insignificant things. Having a routine is something I enjoy, so when something comes along that disrupts or alters my day, it doesn't make me the happiest of people. When change comes about, my moods can be terrible - even I know that. One minute I am on cloud nine and the next, I'm the total opposite. It's completely draining, and so hard to keep up with. Stepping out of my comfort zone or 'bubble' is definitely an idea that I think would slowly help coming to terms with change, and importantly, improve the sudden capsize of my moods.
How am I going to do this you ask? I think small steps in the right direction is the right place to start. No way am I throwing myself in the deep end right at the very beginning. When it comes to 'my style' (if I could even call it that haha), I am one for maintaining the same look. I'm 10000% the girl who has 12423 black t-shirts, blouses and jumpers, that get paired with black jeans, boots, and maybe a pair of Converse if I'm feeling it. Don't get me wrong, I love dressing this way, but recently, I have wanted a change.


On a whim, I purchased a pair of blue jeans... This may seem so stupid to most of you, but I'm breaking free of this 'style' routine, and stepping out of my comfort zone. I have always wanted to find the perfect pair of blue jeans that fit in all the right places. Being able to wear my new pair of blue jeans comfortably and not feel like I am cheating on the numerous pairs of black jeans hanging up in my wardrobe, is a small victory in my eyes.
Here's to accepting change one step at a time, regardless how big or small your achievement is.

What do you do to help yourself accept change?

  3. It's honestly the little things that do it. I have trouble accepting change sometimes as well, but you do feel so much better after you've taken the plunge. For me, the biggest step I've ever taken was probably living abroad for almost 10 months. I went to Manchester, UK, only knowing one person on the internet (who has become a great friend of mine) that lived there, and nothing more. I did already know how to speak English, but just the little daily conversation-making you don't learn in school were so hard in the beginning. Looking back on it, it was the best experience I've ever had!

    1. That's crazy! Hats off to you though for taking the plunge and doing something completely out of your comfort zone and living in a totally new country! And I thought that wearing blue jeans was something out there ;-) hehe.

  4. I have better and worse days with stepping out of my comfort zone. I always fel better when I'm doing something new with someone else but on the other hand there are things I prefer to try alone.

    1. I'm the same as you! I almost feel 'safe' doing something new when I'm with someone else, but the same can't be said when I am on my own.

  5. Great post! I'm an introvert and having a child has been a struggle because I'm forced out of my bubble.
