18.Many people are hesitant to step out of their regular roles and routines.The idea of putting yourself in a position where you might fail can be frightening or stressful.But sometimes what's keeping you in one spot may not be your own self-interest.In fact,other people's wished and the feeling that you"should"stay in the same place may be weakening your own preferences.What's holding you back may be compliance (服從),not comfort.
Every instance of stepping outside your comfort zone won't lead to an incredible sense of discovery and liberation.But it may happen when you realize that what thought was your comfort zone is,in fact,your compliant zone----where you've learned to behave in ways that you were expected to behave,perhaps by your parents,or your extended family,and by dutifully fulfilling others'expectations,you internalize these behaviors as your own,even if they don't actually reflect who you are.
How can you tell when your comfort zone may actually be your compliant zone?
Pinpoint your area of focus.Identify one specific thing to question,whether it's something you're unhappy with or something you want to develop.
Compare your passions to the activity you're examining.Can you see your own values and driving passions in this activity somewhere?If you can,it's probably not compliance---or at least not completely.But if you struggle to find yourself anywhere,you may be in the compliant zone,and it might be time to reassess and consider whether a change is in order.
Our habits and routines are hard to break for a reason:they give us a feeling of stability and bring predictability(可預(yù)測性的) to our lives.But avoiding new situations can hold you back.Stepping outside your comfort zone can help you build new skills and gain confidence.And by identifying and escaping your compliant zone,you can discover your"true"self----the part of you that reflects your authentic passions and interests and leads to a more fulfilling life.
