Turning over a new leaf and finding ways to discover new things can help one grow as a student and a person. Some people can find it hard to come out of their comfort zones and try new things. This may happen because people are scared of failure, they feel it could be pointless if it doesn’t don’t work out. Our society does not reward defeat. Failure builds character, failure is just a little bump in the road, it can be a growing seed to success but it can also scare people away from trying.

Branching out could be as simple as meeting new people or joining a sport one has never tried before. It all adds up to building new relationships, trying new things and exploring a new chapter in life. It can be intimidating at first but it’s a life changing experience.  

Becoming a new person is not easy, changing habits are not easy but advancing to a new lifestyle can be beneficial. Complete exposure isn’t necessary, one can try to be social by easing into it. For example, a person could ask friends to go to a coffee shop. Helping out with fundraising in the community to interact with different people can also be beneficial. Branching out and moving into a new environment can help lead to a happy life. Being close with friends and staying active is a natural part of life.

According to blogger Georgie for the wellness blog ”In It 4 the Long Run,” getting out there is beneficial.

“It was easy as an introvert to enjoy the time I spent alone, but I stopped making any effort to try to get outside my comfort zone to meet people,” Georgie said.

People who don’t interact with others can become sick of having no company, so they soon give up having a growth mindset and instead obtain a fixed mindset. Branching out could lead to opportunities that are typically once in a lifetime.

Being out of the comfort zone makes personality grow and become stronger, It structures a layer of confidence. People often complain about not having friends or being excluded from activities because they don’t feel comfortable coming out of their safe zone.

When looking for jobs, coming out of the comfort zone can help make connections with other people and make it easier to pursue your career through job search applications, ultimately securing one’s dream opportunity.

With that being said, a person shouldn’t be afraid to be themselves and come out of their comfort zone. New opportunities can be a great outcome if one applies themselves and becomes involved.
