The New Year 2017 is upon us. Like very new year, we will make one or the other of the following resolutions – Be more productive, quit smoking, start exercising,  lose weight, get a better paying job etc etc.  I don’t mean to say that these are not desirable resolutions…haven’t we all been meaning to achieve these every year?  Ok may be some of us have succeeded. Congrats buddy! For most of us though, these resolutions barely last through January to February only to resurface towards end of December.

A famous quote attributed to Albert Einstein defines Insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So my humble submission is just one thing to do in 2017 – Step out of your comfort zone. For once be sane and do atleast one thing that you have not attempted before. Surprise yourself. Think of some things that scare you… give you the jitters… things you never had the courage to do. It could be anything – public speaking, singing on stage, confronting a bully, reconnecting with an estranged relative, writing an emotional letter to your parents. You alone know the limit of your comfort zone. Take a step outside.

Could be either long term or short term, big or small  

Booking a ten day trip to go Scuba diving would be quite a big thing while deciding to wake up early every day for a 15-min meditation session could be a step outside comfort zone for someone else.

Volunteering for a new project at work for which you don’t have prior experience, would probably require you to learn a new skill or two to deliver the goods. At the end of it, each experience will leave you with a sense of achievement.

Could be physical, mental, intellectual or spiritual…

If you have two left feet and want to dance like MJ, then it will be a long term process for sure. You will need to spend hours and hours in practicing to learn to move somewhat like MJ. But you will get better with time and at the end of it you will be infinitely be better than when you started out. No guarantees that you would be able to copy MJ’s moves but go ahead and surprise yourself!

The best part is that it need not be anything big. You can experiment with the kind of clothes you wear. It could be something as simple as making a cup of tea if that is outside your comfort zone. If anybody else can do it, why can’t you? You can do anything you set your heart upon.

It is never too late to step out of your comfort zone. Never. Ever.

You may be past your 30s, 40s or even 50s, it is never too late to do something new, something that you have not done before.

You alone know your comfort zone. It is like sleeping in your bed. You are assured of a good night’s sleep. But nothing ever gets done there (unless your laptop accompanies you to your bed, in which case you are compromising on the quality of sleep you are getting). Think. Let it be something that you can challenge yourself with. One small step at a time.
