People who are successful stretch themselves. They take risks and are bold. They expand their Comfort Zones and Think Big. They know how to manage their inner critic and self imposed limits to get what they want in life.
Here are 4 Coaching Tips to Expand Your Comfort Zone.
1. Don’t settle for mediocrity. Say goodbye to “same old- same old” and try new things daily.
2. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Ditch those self imposed limits. Most often, the only one holding you back is you.
3. Think of failure as a learning experience. What didn’t work this time? How can you make lemonade out of this lemon?
4. Future Pull – what about your vision/goals? Think Big. What would it be like if you didn’t at least try?
Thomas Edison said: “If we all did the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves”.

A tip I use is one my mother taught me “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” Its so easy to let the little things take over your life and keep you down, rather than opening your eyes to the bigger picture. This goes hand-in-hand, of course, with “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.” Susan Jeffers book by the same name helped me to deal my fears and definitely helped me expand out of my comfort zone.
