Kat from Changing Tide Counseling and Mental Wellness talks about how hard it can be to step out of our comfort zones. This article looks at how different people react when they have to do something new and scary.

When people are pushed out of their comfort zone, they usually react in two ways. Some fight against it, finding many reasons to stay where they are because they fear the unknown. Others trust the process and do what they are told, even if it’s scary. Kat admits that she often resists change at first but eventually goes along with it, sometimes reluctantly. She finds that many of her clients feel the same way.

Our comfort zone is a place where we feel safe because it’s familiar. Even if staying there leads to bad outcomes, it still feels safe. Trusting the process means stepping into the unknown, and this can be very hard.

Kat explains that even when the comfort zone isn’t good for us, it’s still tempting because it’s predictable. This resistance to change is common because we instinctively want to stay safe. However, personal growth often requires stepping into discomfort and uncertainty. This is something Kat has experienced recently, along with many of her clients.

Despite the difficulty, taking the first step out of the comfort zone can lead to great things. Kat admits that she has been pushed out of her comfort zone several times lately. While she initially resisted, taking small steps and facing the challenge has led to significant personal growth. Many of her clients have experienced the same thing.

Kat invites readers to think about how they react when asked to step out of their comfort zones. Do they fight against it or trust the process? She encourages feedback, hoping to understand how others deal with this common challenge.

In summary, stepping out of the comfort zone is hard but important for growth and development. Kat’s experiences and those of her clients remind us that facing discomfort can lead to valuable personal insights and improvements.
