Abstract

The article "Comfort Zone" by Nicole Barden, published on 3/27/2021, emphasizes the importance of venturing beyond one's familiar boundaries.

By trying new activities such as hiking, writing, or dancing, individuals not only learn about themselves but also may find new interests and connect with like-minded people. The author argues that personal hesitations are the only barriers to these experiences and encourages readers to embrace the unknown, as it can lead to unexpected joys and relationships. The article concludes with a call to action, inviting readers to explore other stories by the author.

Comfort Zone

Will you step out of yours

Step out and see what is happening beyond your comfort zone.

If you only stay in your zone, then you cannot grow.

Your comfort zone needs to be pliable.

As you experience new things you learn and expand your abilities.

It is in trying new things that you ascertain whether it is something you will want to do again.

Who knows,

You may actually love-

hiking, writing, dancing, or Whatever you are trying.

You may meet some great people along the way.

People with whom you now have a common interest that can be built upon.

So…

Try something different.

Try something you have always wanted to do.

The only thing that is holding you back is You!

And your comfort zone.
