Suppose you did a lot of hard work to get your engineering degree to get a new job, after searching if you fail in getting a new job you studied even more like higher education let’s say “Master’s of Business Administration” (MBA) and now finally you got a job that you were struggling for since very long and after working for 1 or 2 years you observed that there is a lot of politics in your office and even after working so hard you did not received any recognition for your work and no promotion now since you came a long way ahead in life, invested your time and money in your education and acquiring skills to do a job and after working for such a long period of time for so many years although you know that you want to change it and start something new in life but on the other hand you are afraid about unemployment, less pay, failure, emotional pressures, struggles, fear of losing everything that’s why even if you have the best of skills that could make you a millionaire one day, due to your comfort zone and your current expenses that you need to manage immediately you are self-forced to continue with what you are doing.
Moreover in countries like India, people are still not independent, even at the age above 25 many still stay with the family and for the family, Moreover there are many who is still dependent on their parents not because they love them well everyone loves their parents there is a dependency on life, because with family we have a home to stay, we have the luxuries that we are dependent upon which makes our family home a perfect comfort zone for us, because here we feel secure and actually we are because we are a human life and we could suffer from minor to severe health issue anytime. If we have our family with us we will be able to recover very soon not just physically but mentally also because here we have our psychological support by our family with the ones who take care of us.
Even financially there would be no one other than your family where you could ask for money without giving anything in return otherwise if you go out and see the outside world there will be hardly anyone who will credit you an amount during your bad phase the in life without anything in return.
There are many who are stable financially due to a good job or business or both, but there are many who are not so good financially at the beginning of their career and they have to do a job to sustain their living whether they love their job or not, this might be the cause of their comfort zone but at this stage taking risk is a huge challenge which not everyone could afford.
Since there is no available option that could bring your income out of your business immediately after you leave your full-time job, therefore, there is no family support at this time and for every career there is always a saturation stage where even if you are best at what you do but there will be times when even if you try your best you will still not be able to become productive.
Now if you are struggling with your current job or studies where you feel like quitting but still there is no other alternative for you at this time that you could pursue successfully then you need to understand first that this is a phase of life, and it comes to almost every single individual either in teenage, in the twenties or even thirties. Your mind here is pushing you back in time because you were not involved in this task during your entire childhood or even in college days you might agree with the fact that everyone wants freedom and here you feel like trapped due to your circumstances, and the wrong choice of career and you want to change your life but now the question is how to change ?
To be honest there is no magic formula or any external force that could change your life and if someone claims to change your life immediately after one visit then trust me these are just scams. These words might sound bitter but this is absolutely true! but that doesn't mean this there is no solution to this problem.
There is a solution to almost every problem in this world only we need to be ready to find the solutions to our problems, The main problem with us is that we are only concerned with the Problems, we talk about the problems and we think about the problems but we are not in a habit to solve these problems. So If you want to get out of your comfort zone at work then here are some of the best tips that you should consider.

IDENTIFY YOUR PROBLEM
This might sound very simple but trust me most of the people who are trapped in their comfort zone is because they could sense that there is some problem, they are not feeling comfortable
With their current state and that is what is causing us all a sense of discomfort in our minds and we are not happy with where we are right now! So if you are struggling with the issue of your comfort zone then I recommend you to take a piece of paper or notebook and start writing your problems. Just do it and list your set of problems
For example : it could be your job, your manager, your work environment, your promotion, your girlfriend or your family issue etc, list all these things together this will help you to bring out all your problems and when you will see a list of possible problems in front of your eyes then automatically your mind will start working to resolve these set of problems.
BRING SELF MOTIVATION
Getting out of your comfort zone is one of the most difficult things that one could do because it is all created in your mind and by your mind, Comfort zone exists nowhere in the world except your mind so therefore you need to understand the sense of fear or happiness or sadness is all within you otherwise nowhere. Now if you feel that you want to change your life, Then nobody else could do it for you other than you.
Even if you agree to it now or not but later in life, you will realise you will find this as the only truth, So if you really want to change in life then at first you need to change yourself either your vision, your beliefs, your dreams or even your work location.
If you don’t want to change your life then it's completely fine but if you really want to change then you need to be self-motivated to take the corrective actions to reach your goal that you want to achieve. This motivation comes after observing the life of people that you follow as inspiration and want to become like them.
Once you identify and find your inspiration then you need to do proper research and understand their journey from where they actually started and how they reach their goal which is now your goal in life.
For those who think it is impossible then you need to understand that “Someone Somewhere is living your Dream” if you observe your life carefully then you will realise that whatever we think and feel about future is because of the information that is already available in our mind and we have either seen those people living what we want to become either through television, internet, media etc and in our fictional mind we make stories about how interesting their life is that’s why we are not happy with what we have right now.
No matter if you feel like there is someone who is better than you then before getting jealous just try to figure out in what factors you are better than that person. It's completely possible because there is no one in the world whose life is perfect. Everyone is struggling for achieving something. For example, a movie star may not be a good director, and a dancer may not be a good sportsman. Everyone has its own set of expertise which is unique and here you need to identify what’s yours!
START FINDING THE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS
Once you understand what exactly your problem is and if you are motivated for the next step, still your mind will resist you to put your step forward, here you need to understand that this is your life and if you will not take control of your life now then there will be no one to help you.
It's very important to take correct decisions at the correct time otherwise there is no turning back because time never stops for anyone. Suppose you are interested in becoming a doctor and due to family pressure you took admission into an Engineering college then after next four years when you will get your degree, that could make your family happy and those who expected you to become an engineer but not you because you were not meant to become an engineer but if you realise it later then now will you be able to study medical from day 1 for next 5 years again ?
Not possible right? and now according to your age, you need to take your responsibility of earning because already your family invested a lot of money in your studies now, so now What to do?
Here you need to focus on the practical solutions now and here it is not that you will start your medical journey from step 1 but you need to first identify and find the best suitable alternative to what you can do to make a living happily other than your job.
To help you find your dream goals you could book a session with our Professional Career Counsellors to let you achieve your goals in Life by identifying your true potential.
LIFE NEVER STOPS !!!
Whatever your dreams are you need to understand that life never stops and is not same for everyone, You cannot underestimate your destiny because it can change your life within seconds and trust me if you are passionate about achieving something then it doesn’t matter what educational qualification you have or experience you have. Once you start involving yourself in any subject or your field of interest by self-learning and self-motivation then you will feel confident about what is about to do and during this time all you need is “PATIENCE” there may be times when things are not according to what you need but with time things turn well and you just don’t need to lose hope remember there is always a second chance - Make a Goal and Do whatever it Takes to reach that Goal and I am sure there will definitely one day when you will even surpass that goal and reach new heights in life.
Always remember as being said by “ Neale Donald Walsh ” - “Life begins at the end of your Comfort Zone”. So it's time to get up and Just do it.
