Get Moving Out Of Your Comfort Zone

posted on March 15, 2023


Recently I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In trying this new sport, I’ve found new strength within myself that has allowed me to set and work towards new goals which have been enjoyable. Staying in your comfort zone can be tempting, but it can be difficult to grow and improve by doing this . By stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things, this can help you develop new skills, challenge your limits, and build confidence within yourself. Recently I’ve expanded my interest in various types of activities such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, different forms of strength training, and yoga. You don’t have to stick to these three things however if you’d like to experience something new, I’d give them a try.

 

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It’s a great way to build strength, improve flexibility and coordination, and develop self-defense skills. When you practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, you’re constantly learning new techniques and strategies, which can help you develop problem-solving skills and mental toughness. It can also be a great way to meet new people and build a sense of community.

 

Programming different forms of strength training, such as Conjugate Method, Isometrics, or French Contrast, can also help you step out of your comfort zone and push yourself physically. Strength training can help you build muscle mass, improve athletic performance in your desired sport/activity, and increase mental fortitude. It can also help you develop a sense of discipline and focus as you work towards achieving your fitness goals.

 

For some reason so many people are afraid of yoga. It’s another activity that can help you get out of your comfort zone and develop new skills. Yoga involves a series of poses and breathing exercises that can help you improve flexibility, balance, and strength through reducing stress and improving mental clarity. When you practice yoga, you’re learning to connect your mind, body, and soul, which can help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness and mindfulness.

 

Trying new activities can be intimidating, but it’s important to remember that growth and learning often come from stepping out of your comfort zone. By challenging your body and mind you will reach new levels you never imagined. Whether you decide to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, strength training, yoga, or another type of activity entirely, the benefits of challenging yourself and trying new things are numerous. So, why not take the plunge and try something new today? You never know what kind of growth and transformation it might bring.
