Stepping out of your comfort zone is exciting and rewarding.
Once you get past the initial fear of the unknown, you can dedicate yourself to this new thing you’ve been wanting to try.
But often when trying something new, you may set high expectations for yourself. This mean pushing yourself too fast and too far outside of your comfort zone.
As a result, you could find yourself running back into your comfort zone before you’ve become successful at what you were trying to accomplish.
A better approach is a peaceful, no-frills approach.
No expectations. No pressure. You’re just trying it out.
You’re not taking the easy road, you’re taking the scenic route. You’re just there checking out the views and getting a feel for what it’s like.
This method gives you the freedom to make mistakes and the flexibility to make adjustments without feeling like you screwed up.
And without the pressure to be victorious at this new thing, you may very well improve your chances of success.
