If something that you' re doing doesn' t challenge you, then it doesn' t change you. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone. So challenge the following limits:
Figure out what you' re scared of and do it continuously.
If you' re a salesman, and you' re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you' ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day picking up the phone and making a call. Someone may hang up on you.
Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, " Go on, I' m not scared!"
Take a class for a hobby you' ve been wanting to develop.
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.
Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
You don' t need to go to the gym. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
Don' t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers —try to connect with the service staff.
You never know what kind of people they' re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
A. You should do it continuously.
