Do you get out of your comfort zone?

For personal growth - yes - I'm all for going out of my comfort zone. But I definitely feel safer and less stressed in my comfort zone (I guess doesn't most everyone?).

Yes I do..I have to whether I want to or not each day.

I've been tossed out of it in a big way, because I have to do a lot of things.

Hey, for my anxiety being in my comfort zone and working online each day it's what keep me going,

Every time we go to a house-sit I'm out of my comfort zone. I know how important people's pets are to them and worry a bit about caring for them properly.

I stepped out of my comfort zone in high school. It was a big step. I am terrified of heights and in my gym class my teacher scheduled us for gymnastics. This included doing things like the parallel bars, the "rings", the horse, and worst of all, the balance beam. I was scheduled among the first group of girls to do the balance beam. The teacher had developed a beautiful routine with a super mount and dismount. The mount was one where you would raise yourself up and straddle the beam, then reach back with one foot and use the top of the foot to stabilize your leg so you could lift yourself up. It went on from there, including a back somersault over one shoulder and then you dismount. I managed to keep from having to do the "beam", but then the teacher noticed. She told me if I didn't do the beam I would flunk gym class and not graduate. I sighed deeply and even though she wouldn't listen to my explanation that I was terrified of heights, she insisted. I tried the mount and ended up hanging onto the beam by my arms and legs. She finally told me to climb up (with the help of four of my fellow students) and do the rest of the routine. I got up, took one look and froze. She tried to get me to jump down, but I wouldn't. She finally knocked on the boy's locker room door and asked for the boy's coach to help out. He came over to lift me down (he didn't say a word to me) and wrapped his arms around me-I freaked out and clawed the daylights out of the top of his bald head!!! Needless to say after he got me down he had to get some gauze and go to the nurse's office and then to the doctor. (Kind of embarrassing to have to tell the ER Doctor that he got clawed by a panicked student) I was ordered by the girl's gym coach to NOT do any of the gymnastics, just to suit up and do my homework. I passed gym with an "A", and I haven't ventured too far out of my comfort zone since.

I do not do alot out of my comfort zone.

I feel safer i my comfort zone. Before getting out of it I have to think twice now that I am no more young.

Out where my writing is concerned. I started a novel over 20 years ago that isn't finished yet because I don't even like the genre, romance, but decided to try it anyway. It's difficult and almost done after all this time. Doing things outside your comfort zone isn't easy, but as you said, can be rewarding.

Now that I am retired, I want to take it easy. But when out of my comfort zone, I have a more active life.

I like staying at home but do have to go out sometimes for some shopping or to the bank. So even if I don't want to move out I do that gives me some exercise.

I can do so little that I haven't attempted to get out of my comfort zone. Nothing much going on here. I hope you have a great day.

I do get out of it sometimes, but it REALLY has to be for something I think will be worth it.

I normally don't like to talk to others because I'm insecure about everything. I feel like everyone is against me. But I don't like talking About my feelings to my husband in fear of becoming a burden to him... Lately I found myself talking to people. I was skeptical at first but I'm enjoying the talks I have now.

In the last 8 years since I retired I have been out of my comfort zone. Moving and doing new different things. I am having a good time.

Not going out of my comfort zone

Sometimes I am out of my comfort zone. But I feel like I don't have the strength to be out of my comfort zone for a long time.
