[Tricks] How to step out of the comfort zone?
My brother and I are software engineers, but it didn’t help us a lot in real life =)
Once we have noticed and I’m sure you also experienced a few second periods in your lives when you can’t control your actions, thoughts and emotions. As if a mechanism is activated that blocks your mind and body, for example, during a public speech. My brother and I wanted to face and overcome this strange feeling of helplessness in a funny and gameful way. So, we started creating private challenges for each other in real life. After a while, we decided to create a special web site for it and help other people.
Please let me know if you have any tips/tricks that help you to step out of the comfort zone?

Some things that help me step out of my comfort zone are forcing myself to say things out loud instead of just sitting there quietly in social situations, trying for things that seem “impossible” at the time just to see if it can happen, and making plans or commitments that I want even if I don’t feel prepared for them, so that I will have to get outside of my comfort zone to accomplish them.
I kind of bully myself into doing it haha.
Inward mockery, ridicule, threats, bribes, whatever. Also, acting like I’m already there so people will dare me to prove myself.
I’m a laidback person by nature, but this method powerfully triggers my motivation 9 times out of ten. And most of the time, the results are positive. Now, the problem is just finding reasons for things.
Yes. No it’s not that you don’t understand English, I was speaking poetically. Native English speakers might raise their eyebrows too. I find it easier to get people to understand what things mean directly if I describe the feeling sensation of it. A lot of time people have a concept of something they know they want but they havent connected to it physically yet.
To me, it is very hard to show my love to special people in my surrounding (like my family). In difficult situations, I ask myself how I will imagine the scene afterwards (how I will later wish it would have happened) and than I try to act like that. So even if it goes totally against what I’m feeling, I try to hug my parents for example, because I know there’s a barier I actually don’t want. I hope that it’s understandable..
I’ve taken a courage to quote tricks that have been said so far:
1) “My trick is http://www.freemind.today”
2) “say things out loud instead of just sitting there quietly”
3) “I kind of bully myself into doing it haha”
4) “be yourself”
5) “if your life was a book, what story would you write?”
6) “I ask myself how I will imagine the scene afterwards (how I will later wish it would have happened) and than I try to act like that.”
7) “don’t take yourself too seriously”
Please feel free to correct me or add more tricks.
I recently walked away from everything I have and known for the last 15years and went into drug treatment. I left my very best friend who remains in the apt I used to live in with him.I walked away from it all to save my life. I don’t know anyone here and I miss my friend. I want to adapt here so I can finally be free of addiction!
It’s hard to even imagine that and I don’t know what I would do if I were you because 15 years – it’s a lot of time. You’re a very strong person since not everyone can give up things that he’s been doing for a long time. I wish you best of luck and find your purpose in life.
The one thing that came to my mind when I was reading your post is the book “Happiness in Hard Times”. It was very useful for me a couple of years ago and, probably, I should start reading it again =) because I’ve almost forgot all things that I learnt there.
My “trick” is to understand that none of this matters in the grand scheme. The universe is 14 billion years old, our existence is only a few years if we’re lucky, and after we die everything we do, our kids do and our grandkids do will eventually fade away. We will be dead for the trillions and trillions of years after our 100-year life. Nothing we do can really change that so just accept it. Do not take yourself or what you do so seriously. I think about this before every client meeting and every speech when I am nervous. Because what am I nervous about? What these people think of me? If they fire me? What is really going to happen if I fail big time? None of it matters, I don’t care who is in the audience.

An amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my husband back to
me.. My name is Olivia Phimzile,i live in Florida,USA,and I’m happily
married to a lovely and caring husband ,with two very large kids.A very big problem
occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so big and terrible
terrible that he took the case to court for a big fucking divorce.he said that he
never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn’t love me anymore.So
he packed out of the house and made me and my really big children passed through huge
severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much
begging,but all to no avail.and he massively confirmed it that he has made his
big decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was
coming back from work,i met an huge old friend of mine who asked of my
husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only
way i can get my husband back,is to visit a really big spell caster,because it has
really worked for him bigtime too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no
other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email
address of the BIG spell caster whom he visited.{<wbr>[email protected]<wbr>gmail.com}.
So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the BIG
spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next
day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and
told me every big thing that i need to do. Then the next morning, So
surprisingly, my husband who didn’t call me for the past seven
{7}months,gave me a really large call to inform me that he was coming back.So
HUGELY Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with big lots of love
and joy,and he apologized for his big mistake,and for the big pain he caused me
and my big children. Then from that day,our relationship was now bigger and stronger
than how it were before,by the help of a big spell caster. So, i will advice
you out there to kindly visit the same email [email protected]<wbr>gmail.com,if
you are in any large condition like this,or you have any big problem related to
“bringing your really big ex back. So thanks to the Dr ZUMA ZUK for bringing back
my big husband ,and brought great big joy to my big family once again. {[email protected]<wbr>gmail.com}
