ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: WHY YOU NEED TO GET OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE | getting over your fears & anxieties + just doing it!

Hello, you guys, and welcome to a new episode of A Better You.

I am coming at you guys from an entirely different location, and I am just praying that the audio is going to sound good.

First of all, before we get into the little recap of where I've been, where I am, what's happening, what we're talking about, let me tell you, in today's episode, we are going to be talking about getting outside of our comfort zone

and not letting our comfort zone ruin our lives.

Not only that, but we are going to talk about how to expand our comfort zone

and truly just allow ourselves to live our life to its fullest potential

because living inside of our comfort zones is genuinely not benefiting anyone.

And if we want to live our dream lives, sometimes we need that little extra push.

And this episode might just be your sign and the push that you've been looking for.

If you haven't already followed the podcast on Spotify, Apple Music, all of the streaming platforms, make sure you do that already.

Make sure to give it a rate.

If you're watching on the youtube channel, make sure you subscribe give it a like leave a comment I read all my comments

and all my messages and I love to get in touch with you guys

So let's get into the episode you guys I am currently

in la as I film this episode I told you guys last week

and I gave you the little or maybe I told you two weeks ago

But I gave you the little update

that I was going to be living in la for the month

and i'm here now I've actually never filmed my podcast in a new location

and i'm filming this in the place that we're staying So if you're watching on youtube, you kind of get a little sneak peek of what the place is looking like

because you can actually see on camera And let me just say I absolutely love where we're staying.

I think it is so cute Obviously cannot give too many details away, but it is adorable and it's making me want to live here If you know, you know i've said it in a few youtube videos

or i've probably said it on the podcast before

But I think at the moment my dream place to live is somewhere that has very bright

Lighting somewhere with a lot of windows somewhere with maybe light brown flooring

And it overall just makes me look very warm and like saturated

because my apartment is very it's giving blue vibes It's it's got like a blue tint

which might just be vancouver's blue tint But anyways, this place is kind of like my dream place dream neighborhood all of the above.

So i'm absolutely loving being here I've already been here for a week

and I just want to tell you guys a little bit I want to tell you some things

I know some of you guys love

when I give a little bit of an update at the beginning and others are like We literally don't care.

We just want to see the episode So

if you're one of those people definitely skip like five minutes

and i'll start talking about the topic of the episode But if you're here for me, which I love you

If you are let me give you a little recap of

the last few days for one I'm staying with trinity

and brody and kaylee was here She's another canadian influencer

and i've had

so much fun staying with them I did film a little collab episode for their podcast both the wellness cafe

and hot girl energy So

if you happen to listen to either of those podcasts definitely listen to their newest episode

because I will be featured on there And it's pretty fun.

We talked about like spring trends and spring must-haves

and spring bucket list ideas So those were super fun to film other than

that the past few days I've been doing a lot of shopping and a lot of thrifting.

I recently went to the melrose trading post, which is super fun I have been just exploring melrose just shopping going to vintage shops It also just

so happened that my friend bella from australia is here right now

So I got to see her and I just have a lot of friends here

So i'm excited to see everyone hang out with everyone I feel like there's

so much Anticipation and like build up and busyness right now

because coachella is right around the corner It is literally in two weeks

and I feel like it is it truly is the influencer hotspot So like everyone's picking out their outfits.

There are so many events to attend.

There's a lot of gifting suites There's

so much chat about what everyone is wearing what events people are attending

So like there is just so much buzz on that

and i'm so excited for it It is in two weeks like I said

So make sure you're following my instagram my tiktok

because my friend mayella is coming from vancouver to Palm springs to attend coachella with me on a brand trip

So like there's just so many exciting things happening right there The next thing

that I wanted to talk about

that I did within the first three days of being here

is my first ever Panel now you may be wondering what

that means because I honestly didn't even get it at first either when I decided to do this.

But basically, being on this panel, I was with both Trinity and Kaylee.

And honestly, that made it feel a lot better for me because it wasn't as intimidating.

I had my friends with me and we went up on stage and we did some public speaking, which if you also are subscribed to my YouTube channel by any chance,

I made a little 2024 vision board.

And on the vision board, I had a public speaking images.

So that is something to check off the vision board.

I have been wanting to public speak for a while just

because I feel like it is a very important skill to

have It is definitely something that's outside of my comfort zone

and something that I feel like I should be better at

And also being a podcaster being in the social media space

being an influencer all of the above I feel like you should develop the skill of public speaking

So it was about time that that actually occurred

and basically our panel was on how to grow a successful solo podcast

and it was just advice from top charting wellness podcasters.

So that was super fun.

It's such a great topic.

I feel like we have so much to say

and basically we had to practice and when I tell you we like hardly practice, I'm not kidding.

We made our presentation and then kind of just winged it

but our mentality was that our literal job is to talk to the camera and none of it is scripted.

So I feel like it's kind of hard to practice doing a panel when at the end of the day, it's gonna be like a podcast live edition.

So we didn't really practice, which meant I was very nervous.

We got to this la convention center.

I got a little badge around my neck I had to

be in full business where I honestly felt like I was cosplaying an adult and then I had to remind myself Fernando,

you're not cosplaying you are an adult with an actual job like that you're not cosplaying This is you so honestly, I had one of those moments where you look in the mirror and you're like,

wow I've aged i'm a woman.

I honestly did feel like a woman.

I'm not even gonna lie I felt powerful in my little panel name tag

that said my podcast name So that was super fun.

I felt totally professional and Nervous

and those feelings did not go away right before we were

gonna go on the panel I needed like a few minutes to just like take a deep breath

100

and it kind of felt like I was doing a gymnastics competition I'm, not even gonna lie Like it really did feel like the nerves you get before you have to perform

101

or obviously go on stage So I guess it is kind of the same vibe

102

But we went up there

103

and there was a lot of people in the crowd kind

104

of honestly It was kind of like 50 people 100 I honestly could not tell you

105

but there was a lot of people.

106

I feel like a lot of them were like middle-aged too

107

So we were kind of speaking to an older crowd about how to grow their podcast

108

and it was only 30 minutes So it's also not

109

that bad I feel like if it was longer or if I was alone, it would have been different But considering that it was 30 minutes

110

and we had a little slideshow with our points It all went by

111

so smoothly and so fast I honestly really wish

112

that more of you guys could have came

113

or we could have had a little meetup or like a meet and greet or You know, it could have been more for you guys but the tickets for this convention, which was like a three-day podcast thing,

114

was like $400 and that is a lot of money.

115

I feel like there was a lot of industry people there, so that's that.

116

But if for some reason you did come to our panel and you were there and you came to watch me, thank you so much because I did have some people

117

that came up to me after the panel just to tell me

118

that they loved my podcast and they were a fan of me

119

and I even had someone come up to me and tell me that her granddaughter watches my podcast.

120

So if that was you and you're listening to this, thank you, I really appreciated that.

121

Being in LA for this month, doing the panel both of these things

122

and just in general what i've been experiencing the past week

123

was what inspired me to make the topic of today's episode

124

sometimes whenever i pick the episode title i'm really debating on what i should talk about

125

and i like to take from examples happening around me currently

126

and i feel like this is it's just the perfect time

127

in today's episode i'm going to talk about the consequences of not getting outside of your comfort zone which is literally

128

Just so bad like honestly reading the consequences

129

that I have here made me want to just re-evaluate my life

130

and see if there's Anything that I haven't been doing

131

because the consequences are just actually tragic Then I want to tell you guys about some ways

132

that I have gotten out of my comfort zone

133

and how they have benefited me And also what would have happened

134

if I didn't do them And then i'll give you guys some ways

135

that you can get outside of your comfort zone today Whether

136

that be big ways or little ways

137

that you can just implement day to day

138

So getting into it living in your comfort zone refers to staying within in familiar and comfortable circumstances where you feel safe,

139

secure, and unchallenged.

140

I really do feel like the key word there is the unchallenged

141

because feeling secure and safe isn't the end of the world.

142

I think those are great things to be feeling and it's honestly nice.

143

It is not cortisol inducing.

144

It is nice to feel secure and safe and just steady

145

and stable and i think sometimes when you go too far into searching for things

146

that are constantly stimulating that are constantly disrupting your life

147

that are causing you stress or when you are just picking up and leaving

148

and creating too much change i feel like things can get

149

a little bit suspicious there too honestly i look at my life

150

and i feel like sometimes I get really bored

151

when things are too safe and too steady

152

and I try to switch things up and I do think

153

that that has helped me in a number of ways

154

because obviously I'm getting outside of my comfort zone

155

but it can cause a little bit of discomfort or anxiety

156

which is the next thing that I was going to talk about.

157

Staying in your comfort zone and choosing not to do the things

158

that challenge you may happen by avoiding risks and challenges and they really limit your personal growth, your learning, and new experiences.

159

I think it would be a great idea if after this episode or during this episode, you made a little journaling page and asked yourself, what are all the ways that you're staying in your comfort zone

160

and what are ways that you have gotten out of your comfort zone in the past?

161

And really just taking a look at both of those lists

162

and realizing what is holding you back in those things where you are totally in your comfort zone and you can't leave.

163

What is holding you back?

164

Why are you staying there?

165

Has someone placed fear in you?

166

Are you worried about the unknown?

167

Like what is the reason for you staying in that comfort zone?

168

The reason why I think that taking a look within and realizing if you are creating this resistance for yourself

169

is because staying in your comfort zone can be detrimental to you

170

and your future as it can literally cause you to have missed opportunities, which is, like I said, painful.

171

I feel like especially in a career like the one that I have, my job involves a lot of me putting myself out there and I have to be in certain places to get opportunities.

172

I often think about my living situation and the fact that I live in Vancouver.

173

If I lived in LA or I lived in New York, would I get more opportunities?

174

Would I whatever and I feel like my way to combat

175

that has been trying to travel as much as I can

176

So I don't miss out these opportunities But I would be lying

177

if I said that I didn't know

178

that some were being missed by the fact that I live in mancouver

179

But that's also not to say

180

that living in mancouver has been a bad idea whatsoever

181

Because I would not be where I am without that

182

and I think that is also important to recognize

183

But there has been so many situations where I do try to put myself out there

184

and I meet people And I create new connections and networks

185

that it almost makes me want to look within

186

and be like can you imagine if you didn't go out

187

or you didn't go to this event

188

or you didn't travel to this place like all of those opportunities

189

that you just had can you imagine if you hadn't gone

190

or hadn't put yourself in that position

191

and you had fully missed them i would be

192

so hard on myself not only can you miss opportunities

193

but it also limits your growth which we talked briefly about i really do think

194

that everybody has their own wisdom inside and their own story to tell

195

and their advice to tell but a lot of it is unlocked by the experiences

196

that you have and what you take from that.

197

So staying in your comfort zone to avoid certain situations

198

or people will overall just limit your ability to have

199

that advice and be able to have that inner knowledge as you're not pushing yourself past your capacities.

200

The other way that you can be affected by staying in your comfort zone is having a little stagnant period.

201

As said earlier, there is nothing wrong with feeling that calm, stable sense, that little safety net it is not wrong in all situations

202

but when you stay in

203

that situation for a little bit too long you don't really

204

feel like you have momentum to move forward for me i think

205

when i'm stagnant when i'm home when i'm not really exploring new friendships

206

or situations or experiences it is really hard for me to come up with new ideas just

207

because i'm only with me myself and i my own thoughts

208

and confined in like the four walls of my apartment i found online here

209

that another negative effect of staying within your comfort zone is decreased resilience

210

and they went on to explain that facing and overcoming challenges builds resilience

211

and adaptability by avoiding discomfort you may become less equipped to handle adversity when it arises

212

and honestly that wasn't something that i had originally thought

213

but i think that it is so true

214

and something really important to know

215

because whenever you do have challenges it really does like i said earlier give you the toolboxes to move forward

216

and to handle upcoming situations with more grace or just more experience

217

and i definitely think that putting myself out there even in solo traveling i've become

218

so much more independent and so much more self-reliant that

219

if i hadn't gone through those experiences i wouldn't necessarily have those skills

220

so i do think in specific traveling has made me more adaptable

221

and those are lessons that i will never regret having

222

and the last and i think most obvious reason to not stay in your comfort zone is

223

that it will cause you a lot of regret.

224

I think there's so many videos of like old people literally on their deathbed

225

and whenever you ask them like what do you wish that you did sooner?

226

What do you wish you could tell your younger self?

227

They always tell you the same advice and

228

that is to just go out to do things to live your life to have those crazy experiences

229

and to not worry so much about routine and perfection

230

and structure and to just live your life to the fullest

231

because when you're on your deathbed you're not going to be thinking about

232

if you had that girl morning routine every single day

233

or woke up at 5 a.m every single day or went to bed at 8 p.m., I mean, you probably will feel healthy.

234

But at that point, what you are thinking about is the memories and the lessons that you had learned, the people you had met.

235

And so I feel like if we can gather something from literally all those videos that say the same advice,

236

it is definitely that we do not want to live with regret from not experiencing certain things.

237

And I also think it's important to note that

238

if you feel any sort of regret in this current moment about something in your life, it is not too late to think back to that situation if you can do something about it and say,

239

you know, I didn't get to do this at this point in my life and I'm going to do it now.

240

I think that is something important to tell yourself

241

because there are things that even I wanted to do in my life before

242

that I haven't done and that doesn't mean that just

243

because it didn't happen at one point that it's never going to happen again or that I shouldn't try for it again.

244

I don't want to grow old and have those regrets of not doing those things

245

that I knew were outside of my comfort zone but I didn't get around to.

246

I just will have to move those to future dates

247

and still put that in my vision board and know

248

that it's going to happen or that I will make it happen in the future, even if it looks a little bit different than I had initially thought.

249

So overall, those are some reasons why you should not stay in your comfort zone.

250

We do not wanna stay stagnant.

251

We do not wanna have regret.

252

We do not want to miss opportunities.

253

We do not want to stay enclosed

254

and just be this little out of touch ball that did not get to experience life to the fullest.

255

And instead, we want to feel open, have that open receiving energy and welcome all the fun experiences into our lives

256

that we can so that we are so happy when we're looking back on our memories.

257

I said I was gonna talk about some of the situations

258

where I have gained the most by getting outside of my comfort zone, but most of those situations have happened when I have traveled.

259

Those are some of the situations where I can individually pinpoint and be like, I literally took 10 steps forward after going on those trips.

260

Even little situations that aren't that big of a deal or things that weren't even the best luck, you may think is like a con that happened or negative event in your life,

261

but you did grow from it.

262

And I think that that is the best takeaway in a lot of situations.

263

If you don't see the immediate benefit, it usually was a learning lesson and something

264

that will definitely help you in the future or as like a little toolbox to guide you as you go.

265

I remember when I went to New York for the first time, I was 19, I traveled alone, and it literally felt like I was seeing a completely new world.

266

I had never been to the US in a kind of

267

more independent form With my friends without an adult without having a strict itinerary

268

and just being in situations that I had never been before

269

And it really just opened my eyes to the amount of people

270

that were out there I just remember thinking

271

when I came back home How could I be living in this small town when I know that that's happening around me?

272

Like all the people there are experiencing life to the fullest like how could I just be here?

273

And obviously that's not necessarily the greatest feeling to have

274

because I think you should be grateful for wherever you are

275

and just be present wherever you are but i do think

276

that it expanded my horizons for what i thought was even possible

277

and the amount of people and situations

278

that i could put myself in not only did this happen to me

279

but i feel like it happened to all my friends whenever they went on their first trip

280

and that was just seeing how much life there is out there

281

and it really does take you back when it's

282

that first trip not only was traveling really eye-opening

283

but solo traveling in specific was i I feel like

284

so beneficial to my character and my personal development because I learned

285

so much independence and I learned to not rely on other people.

286

I feel like growing up, I was always seen as like, oh, Fernanda, she needs help.

287

She lost her phone she doesn't know where she's going let's hold her passport

288

and I was so used to having that identity attached to my name

289

that I was just this little foolish girl who always got

290

lost who always made mistakes who was like not responsible

291

and couldn't take care of herself and

292

that kind of identity I feel like really put me in a box

293

and made me not want to do things on my own

294

because I had those fears instilled in me when it finally came to

295

that time to solo travel I realized so much about myself

296

and about how capable i am to doing things

297

that i thought i could never do going through the airport

298

alone without having to ask any questions without getting lost being able to keep all my belongings together

299

and just go to professional situations or like business things

300

and feel like i belong there as well as just traveling through the city

301

and exploring the city by myself i feel like

302

that was even such a big step for me because i was so scaredy cat before Obviously, it still depends on where you're traveling to or what city you're in

303

But I feel like traveling alone in a city made me not

304

so scared Of being alone in crowded places and just knowing

305

that like if something was to happen I would know what to do in

306

that situation and the last Subtitle within traveling is traveling with friends

307

and new people It was a little bit outside of my comfort zone to travel with someone

308

that I had never traveled before

309

And after doing it for the first time I was a little bit scared for the times moving forward

310

because you really don't know someone until you're living with them or staying with them.

311

And I feel like staying with someone that you don't know that well, not only teaches you a lot about them, but it teaches you a lot about yourself and who you are.

312

I feel like traveling with other people has solidified what I think about myself

313

or even just the habits that I have or the routines that I have.

314

And I feel like it's really made me know myself and what my patterns are and how I react to situations, how adaptable I am, just so many reasons.

315

And on the flip side to all of these reasons and all of the traveling, I feel like if I hadn't done all these things, I would just have significantly less perspective

316

because I feel like a lot of these situations Involved me to meet

317

so many new people and have so many conversations

318

that I wouldn't have had Otherwise going off of meeting new people

319

and just bonding with people I feel like another way

320

that i've gotten outside of my comfort zone

321

and it has changed me for the better is going on like Friend blind dates.

322

I really do see every stranger as a potential friend

323

and I haven't done this as much recently but I used to always like DM people and just be like, do you wanna hang out?

324

And it would kind of feel like a blind date, honestly, because you don't know if you're gonna like each other, which could be really anxiety inducing.

325

And I feel like I used to even be really shy when I was younger.

326

So it's probably something that I wouldn't have done before, but meeting new people, messaging them, asking to hang out has made my social skills improve by a landslide.

327

I feel like now I could talk to anyone, be placed in a room with anyone and leave knowing

328

that we are going to be friends or that we could have a potential connection there.

329

And honestly, having good connections, having a good network is so important.

330

Even if it's in your job or just you're trying to move around a new city, the more that you can meet people and make friends with them, it can benefit you in so many ways that you hadn't even thought about.

331

So if I hadn't put myself out there and made these awkward friendship dates, I wouldn't have the long lasting friendships that I do now, the connections that I do now, or even the network.

332

The next example I have for you is the fact that I put myself on social media.

333

This is a huge way, obviously, to step outside of your comfort zone because I used to be

334

so nervous to do this and it was something that I had wanted to do for so long.

335

I always wanted to be a YouTuber.

336

I always wanted to share my life and I was so nervous because I was scared of other people's judgment.

337

I was scared if they would like my true personality.

338

I was scared if I was gonna put myself out there and if I got perceived and people didn't like it, et cetera, et cetera.

339

There's honestly so many reasons why putting yourself out there would seem like the wrong option

340

or the hard option or the option that is least desirable

341

because I think it literally is the opposite of having

342

that safe feeling around you and that little bubble of not being perceived.

343

But putting myself out there on the internet and stepping out of my own way made me have literally a full-time job, a full-time career, made me be financially free by the age of like 19,

344

moving out alone, et cetera, et cetera.

345

There's so many reasons for why I could owe my life to putting myself online.

346

And not only for me, but so many other people have experienced this kind of luck as well.

347

And hopefully you listening to this right now gives you some sort of inspiration to even put yourself out online

348

if you want to because I feel like that's another thing

349

that I really enjoy doing and that is inspiring people to become content creators

350

or to share their creativity or their personality online

351

because I know how much it has benefited me

352

and I truly do believe that

353

if you have it you know you have it you have

354

that spark then it is just a matter of time

355

and a matter of people seeing you

356

that will make you like flourish into this person

357

that you were meant to be or have this lifestyle that you were meant to have.

358

It was definitely difficult for me to show my full authentic self

359

and to just feel like the veil has been dropped

360

and just fully be transparent with the camera and the people online

361

and not only in YouTube videos or on Instagram

362

or TikTok where I feel like I have shown my true self

363

but even through this podcast I had done half the work putting myself out online before

364

but the other half was done when I started this podcast

365

because it is so much more intimate and you really are expressing your thoughts

366

and people get to know who you are as like a person

367

because you're talking honestly for 40 minutes

368

or 50 minutes every single week i was definitely nervous

369

when starting this podcast and i think i've said this before

370

but like even just having my friends

371

and family hear more of my thoughts feels really raw

372

and like vulnerable but again literally going on this panel even

373

or seeing this full circle moment with the podcast

374

and all of the new exciting things

375

that are going to happen with the podcast has made me feel really grateful

376

that I had even started this in the first place

377

and honestly before I started this podcast I was feeling a

378

little stagnant I was feeling a little bit like I was in my comfort zone like I was doing things

379

that I knew how to do

380

and I had honestly really mastered it I had just reached 1 million subscribers at the time

381

when I decided to think about starting a podcast starting on

382

a new platform trying something new teaching yourself is completely foreign to you at the time

383

but if you stick with it so much can come out of it

384

and trying something new like creating this podcast really did benefit me in so many ways, not only professionally, but I feel like as an individual,

385

I have learned so many skills that I don't think I could have taught myself or learned a different way.

386

Another way that I think I have changed a lot through my actions is by doing things

387

that scare me and that actually get crossed off my bucket list.

388

For example, going bungee jumping, going skydiving, doing public speaking, flying alone, all of those things that are on your bucket list that you think one day you're gonna do,

389

and you don't actually end up doing them because if you don't have them actually in a plan, they will literally just stay on your list and not get done.

390

But doing those things that scare me has really opened myself up to having these crazy experiences

391

that are so once in a lifetime that when I am on my deathbed, hopefully a very long time from now, I will be able to look back and have such rich core memories.

392

Also side note, if you haven't made a bucket list, I highly recommend you doing one because why is it so fun and why have I not made one in a while?

393

I feel like it is scientifically proven somewhere that when you write something down and it's like something that you wanna do,

394

those situations and opportunities just like come into your life because you kind of already put it out into the universe.

395

So if you haven't already made a bucket list for 2024, I think you should make one.

396

And if not, make one for the spring, make one for the summer and set the intentions out there for the things

397

that you wanna experience or the memories that you wanna create because they will come to you so much faster.

398

And again, doing things that scare you will make you jump over

399

that fear and for me my last example for a way

400

that I have stepped outside of my comfort zone is putting

401

myself out there I feel like visually I don't know if

402

that makes sense but doing red carpets being on camera a lot doing photo shoots has made me

403

so much more comfortable with being in front of a camera

404

and being perceived by a large amount of people

405

so much more than

406

when I just used to take photos like with my mom on a parking lot

407

if that makes sense there is such a fear

408

that comes with putting yourself out there like that or being on camera because you're scared of being judged, you are being scared of what you look like,

409

and it honestly just comes down to practice and being comfortable in those situations.

410

There has even been times where I have booked photo shoots

411

for literally no purpose other than getting practice in front of being a camera, and sometimes it's embarrassing.

412

Sometimes it is humbling.

413

You look back at these photos and you're like, why did I just do that to myself?

414

But with every stride, you are progressing and you are making some movement there.

415

And so that was my, I guess, purpose when I want to be in front of the

416

or wanna be in those situations

417

because I genuinely feel like it does help me as a person grow

418

and just be able to do these things in the future without any sort of resistance.

419

So I'm done giving my examples.

420

Those are ways that I have stepped outside of my comfort zone

421

and I feel like I have gotten so much reward out of them.

422

If any of those examples resonated with you or you're listening to me speak on them and you're like, I could definitely use some more of that or I could definitely get better at that skill,

423

Definitely take some of those examples that I said

424

and put them to good use and try to actually do them

425

because it will help you So much

426

and I feel like no matter what your job is

427

or no matter where you're going in life It could be beneficial to you The other thing

428

that comes with stepping outside of your comfort zone

429

and actually Doing what you said you're going to do

430

and doing it Well is that you will have such an increased level of confidence Even

431

if you feel like you're not the most confident person in

432

the world I'm sure you can look back on your past before those new things happened

433

and just see the change in yourself and think like, I used to be so insecure in these certain situations

434

or I used to not be able to handle these situations with grace.

435

I can definitely speak for myself when I say that doing all these crazy things that I had never expected before

436

has only made me become better at doing them in the future and more equipped.

437

Even if the first time I did it, it was like embarrassing or I didn't do it that well.

438

I've gained so much confidence in who I am as a person and it just makes navigating everyday life so much easier.

439

One thing that I saw in a YouTube video

440

that I really wanted to point out

441

or make note of is a creator called Unjaded Jade made a video on how she expanded her comfort zone.

442

And I just wanna talk about this, I don't know, this idea a little bit because I thought this was really important or really interesting.

443

Basically, she was saying, see what your comfort zone is right now

444

and see if there's any way that you can grow it.

445

She was saying that when she was 12 years old, she was super afraid to talk to boys.

446

When she was 14 years old, now she could talk to boys, but she was super scared of driving.

447

Then when she was 16 years old, she could drive, she could talk to boys

448

but she was super nervous about getting into college maybe at 20 she could do all those things

449

and now her new fear was getting a job

450

so as you age or as time passes on your comfort zone

451

or what you're afraid of is always changing and she also said

452

that your comfort zone scientifically speaking is your behaviors and activities

453

which formulate a consistent routine so having that said i feel like that really makes me look within and think like

454

what is my current routine?

455

Say for example traveling alone, that is my new normal, that is my new baseline for what I'm comfortable with and that is my new comfort zone.

456

But maybe living somewhere else is out of my comfort zone.

457

So having that distinction or knowing exactly where those boundaries are is super important to note

458

so that you can see where you need to adjust or what you want to change.

459

I also do think it's important to note where these boundaries lie because some of it can be in your bad habits.

460

There are times where I hand things in late or I procrastinate

461

or I wait for things to be done at the very last minute.

462

And I can always think to myself, I wonder why I do that.

463

I wonder why I wait till the last moment.

464

But if I think about it, it must be that my comfort lies within doing things at the very end.

465

Literally outside of my comfort zone is doing something three days before.

466

Handing something in on time.

467

Being extremely early, that is literally outside of my comfort zone because that is not the behavior that I display on a consistent basis.

468

And that is super awkward to realize that like you're literally comfortable doing your bad habits.

469

But anyways, I say this because I think that is a thought

470

or food for thought for you to think about the bad habits

471

that you have or the habits that you have in general

472

and recognize what is in your comfort zone and what is outside of your comfort zone.

473

Maybe your comfort zone is eating a certain amount of junk food every single week

474

and outside of your comfort zone would be eating healthy.

475

Maybe inside of your comfort zone is not working out and outside would be to hit 10,000 steps a day.

476

It literally can be those tiny little things

477

that you are not comfortable with that are literally hindering you from overcoming your fears, building resilience, having opportunities for success,

478

having that enhanced confidence, learning new things, developing into a new blossomed version of you, or even reaching that ultimate personal growth to become the best version of yourself.

479

Some little ways that you can incorporate change into your days and just incrementally, I think that may be the word,

480

step outside of your comfort zone is even doing things like trying new food.

481

There's so many people out there that are extremely picky

482

and even trying a new type of cuisine feels out of their comfort zone

483

and doing things like that will just make you

484

so much more open-minded and just expand your palate so

485

that those bigger things are actually easier for you to step over and jump over.

486

It could also be taking a different route to work

487

or to school

488

or to wherever you need to go Maybe you take the

489

more scenic route Maybe you take the faster route just doing something

490

that you don't do on the daily to switch things up Will maybe give you some new experiences

491

or maybe it could even be getting to those places in a different form For example biking there

492

or walking there or skateboarding there One thought

493

that comes to my mind right now is

494

if I ever go to new york again

495

and I choose to take city bikes That is something

496

that is definitely outside of my comfort zone but could probably bring me

497

so much joy and new memories

498

and would probably make me get to certain places faster than walking or taking the train or taking an Uber.

499

So that is something that I should probably step outside of my comfort zone to do

500

because it would benefit me in so many ways.

501

Another little everyday way that you can inspire change is to try a new hobby, something that you've never done before and it could even be something that you're gonna be bad at at first.

502

It could be pulling out your old art supplies, maybe painting, maybe building something out of clay or learning how to knit.

503

Literally just those little hobbies like that could be something

504

that is anxiety inducing when you first think about it because you've never done something like that.

505

And as for big ways you can step outside of your comfort zone, maybe it is changing professions or changing careers or getting a new job.

506

I think again, sometimes we may stay stagnant in certain jobs, even if we know that we are not benefiting from it or maybe we don't like it.

507

Maybe we're just comfortable in it and it's become too easy for us.

508

But if you have the option to or maybe you want to change your job, it's not necessarily the worst option to consider.

509

There is probably so many ways that you can benefit from trying something new.

510

And maybe this new thing that you're scared of will actually be the best new thing

511

that you've been waiting for or the thing that you've been longing for.

512

Or this could even be starting a new passion project.

513

It may be hard at first and it may be scary, but it could be so rewarding if it does go well

514

if you have that passion still built inside you and you're inspired by your own creativity, you may never know where it could take you.

515

But anyways, as we leave this episode, I hope that this inspired you to change something up in your day

516

and to just do something that you don't normally do.

517

There is so much growth to be found outside of your comfort zone.

518

And there is a quote that says that your life actually begins at the end of your comfort zone.

519

So having that said, it's making me wanna go do something that I haven't done today.

520

The most important thing that we can do is get comfortable being uncomfortable

521

because change is the only thing that's permanent or the only thing that's consistent and that is something that I live by.

522

So daily do things that you are not comfortable with.

523

You will grow so much from it.

524

You will benefit so much from it and it will just enrich your life

525

and make you so much happier because you are developing core memories

526

and skills every single day that you would not have otherwise.

527

Let me know, DM me, comment, do whatever you want, but reach out to me and tell me how you're gonna step outside of your comfort zone

528

and how you're actively going to make that happen because I'm curious.

529

And I guess for you guys to tell you what I'm

530

going to do moving forward is I'm going to step outside of my comfort zone in the next month

531

while I live in LA to challenge myself to ask people to hang out that I normally wouldn't hang out with.

532

I'm going to say yes to all the things that get thrown my way.

533

I'm going to create opportunities for myself because I know

534

that I will grow so much from it even if it doesn't go 100% how I want it to go.

535

Even in the worst case scenario, I will probably benefit in some way or another and yeah, I'm just going to try to be the best version of myself while I'm here since I am staying with roomies,

536

which is outside of my comfort zone, not gonna lie.

537

I am going to learn how to build routine, cook for others, clean after myself, be a good roommate and you know,

538

I think that there's going to be so much growth coming out of this month living in LA.

539

So that is my piece exiting this episode and since it's the beginning of April, I hope you guys have a blessed month.

540

Let's all say it together, April's going to be a great month.

541

We are divinely protected.

542

I am manifesting for each and every one of you to have opportunities be thrown at you, only good ones.

543

Thank you for listening to this episode.

544

I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you next week.

545

I love you.
