Pushing Past Your Comfort Zone

From Do Some­thing Cool

The only thing stop­ping you from reach­ing your goals and dreams are your lim­its. It’s when you meet your lim­its that you feel resis­tance and things you want seem harder to achieve. Whether it is fear, doubt, phys­i­cal abil­i­ties or some other men­tal block, it can present a huge bar­rier to get­ting what you want.

A few ways to push past your Com­fort Zone in your next workout:

Find some­one to help push you

Just that lit­tle bit of sup­port encour­ag­ing you to keep going in the face of resis­tance can mean so much. Hav­ing some­one on your side can counter-balance any neg­a­tive think­ing you might have.

Take on a lit­tle more than you think you can

Push­ing past your lim­its means tak­ing on newer, pro­gres­sively harder chal­lenges. If you’re not chal­leng­ing your­self to do big­ger and bet­ter things on a reg­u­lar basis, you’re only work­ing within the con­fines of what you already can do. That’s a sure-fire way to stay exactly where you are and make lit­tle to no progress.

Look at how oth­ers reached where you want to go

What­ever your goals are, there are prob­a­bly oth­ers who have had them and suc­ceeded in reach­ing them. Look to them for clues on what they did to push past their lim­its on their way to suc­cess. You’ll prob­a­bly find a lot of great infor­ma­tion from exam­in­ing the path they took.
