How to Break Out of Your Comfort Zone: Face Fear, Build Courage

ByDamian Redfield

Memento Mori

Everything in life was at one point, new.

We need to explore the unknown and take significant risks if we want to experience everything. Talking to that girl, starting that new hobby, and growing as a person all need you to break the routine.

Humans change over time based on their actions, so you must learn to confront fear so that you can act.

Otherwise, you’ll stay in the exact spot and you will never move from there.

You won’t grow, nothing new will ever happen, and you’ll regret not going all in. You don’t really have a choice. You’re going to inevitably die soon.

So what do you genuinely have to lose? Every fear is trivial in the face of death. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You must break out of that familiarity.

What Does Fear Teach Us?

Opportunities to Expand Yourself

Fear is our guide, not our enemy.

It means we are doing something that is unknown and poses significant risk. It signals where the comfort zone ends and it’s an opportunity for personal growth.

Learn to take action despite being uncomfortable or anxious. That’s how you build an epic story for yourself. If your story doesn’t have any risk then it’s probably not going to be an interesting one.

Trust in Ourselves

You need to get used to facing fear so that you can build trust in yourself. Every time you face your fears, you become more aware of how you can handle difficult situations. You become a much more capable person in the future. Fear teaches us to trust ourselves and our ability to grow.

How to Stop Being Afraid of Change

Not everything will go according to plan and that’s okay. Life rarely allows for that to happen.

If you’re truly unhappy with your circumstances, then you will NEED to change. It’s an inevitable part of life. But most of us find comfort in staying the same.

If you don’t change then you’ll always stay stuck in that hole of yours. You will probably regret not taking action and creating an interesting story for yourself. You genuinely don’t have anything to lose.

Nothing certain aside from death. Do all that you can even if it’s difficult and makes you anxious. You can rest when you die. Just live a life worth living.

“How to stop being afraid of change” shouldn’t even cross your mind anymore. Just take action.

Steps to Overcome Fear

Here are simple steps to overcome fear:

  • Acknowledge the Fear
  • Recognize what you’re afraid of and clearly define it
  • Realize that you’re just a speck of dust in the vastness of space
  • Realize how small we are in the grand scheme of things. Put your fears into perspective and remind yourself that life continues regardless of anything
  • Might as well do the things you want to do because you’re going to die anyway
  • Live your life with courage because you don’t have time for regret

Conquer your fears so that you can live a fulfilling life.

How to Break Out of Your Comfort Zone

You always have the final decision in ANYTHING.

Don’t let fear hold you back. Just becoming aware that things won’t change if you don’t change what you do is enough. No one is coming to save you. You must learn to be courageous and take action regardless of how you feel.

Otherwise, you will always live inside of that bubble. Nothing will ever change. The price of regret is worse than the cost of effort.

“How to break out of your comfort zone” is about taking action regardless of how you feel.

How to Build Up Courage

Do things that absolutely scare you.

You don’t build up your courage by doing nothing. You will most likely be fine after doing things that are uncertain. You will be okay.

Building up courage should be a priority because you don’t want to live in regret… do you?

You don’t want to live a comfortable, but unfulfilling life because you didn’t have the courage… do you? Courage isn’t being fearless. It’s about taking action regardless of how you feel. It’s about trusting in your ability to handle whatever challenges come your way. No more wondering how to break out of your comfort zone.
