Most people want to be successful，but never stop to think what it will really take to get success in their lives.
Psychologists have found that when people make important decisions，they often choose to stay in their comfort zones. That is，they prefer remaining in comfortable，familiar situations，rather than entering into new，unfamiliar ones. This tendency(趋势) is often called the “comfort zone bias(舒适区倾向)”. Psychologists also believe that the “comfort zone bias” exists not only because people have a natural preference for what they already know，but also because they avoid taking risks. Sometimes people prefer to make easier choices，the ones that keep them in the comfort zone. But if people only get used to living in the comfort zone，they will never reach their goals in life，unless the goals are just to be very simple.
Then what can you do to step out of your comfort zone? Here are some ways to make the process easier.
◆Face your fears straight on and overcome them
This is one of the best ways to get out of your comfort zone. What holds us back in our comfort zone is often a fear. Overcoming fears allows you to widen your comfort zone slowly，making what you fear less uncomfortable and frightening.

This is probably the most popular way to get yourself out of the comfort zone. If you are going to attend a party where you know few people，then it may be easier to take a friend along. If you have decided to start exercising in the gym，it might be easier if you have a gym-partner.
◆Use other methods to cheer yourself up
Positive memories or uplifting music are the right things to cheer you up. Also，you can use your body to affect how you feel. Move in a confident way and you’ll soon feel more confident. Move in an excited way and you’ll soon feel more excited.
So don’t wander aimlessly through your life. Get focused on your goals and try to get out of your comfort zone to live life to the fullest! Success is just around the corner!
