課堂內容提要：

1. Set a huge ambition that will require you to discipline yourself and accomplish smaller goals first. For example,? have weeks or months of training before trying to run a marathon 設定一個很大的目標，這需要你嚴格要求自己，并且剛開始要你先完成一些小目標。例如：嘗試跑馬拉松前會需要有幾個周甚至幾個月的訓練。

2. Read a book from a field that you normally never set foot in. If autobiographies are normally your favorite, try a Fiction. Chose whatever is outside the norm.
讀一本你一般情況下都不會涉足的領域的書。如果你一般讀傳記，那么你可以試一下小說。不管怎樣，要從你一般不涉足的領域選擇。

3. Pick up a new hobby that you currently have very little ability to do. Such as playing musical instruments, cooking, painting, writing or dancing.
培養(yǎng)一個現(xiàn)在你還沒有足夠能力去做好的新愛好，比如說演奏樂器，烹飪，畫畫，寫作，跳舞等等。

4. It’s not always easy to express our feelings to the people we love the most. Make time for the people you care, and speak out your care for them, despite it's much easier to think “I love you” than to say it.
想對我們最愛的人表達感情，并不是一件容易的事。給那些你關心的人一點時間，雖然在心里想著“我愛你”比說出來更容易，但也要用語言表達出你對他們的關心。

5. Go to a restaurant that you’ve never actually been to and order something unique. Don't choose what you’ve had? for several times –? try something you struggle to pronounce.
去一個你從來沒有去過的飯館，點一些獨特的菜。不要點那些你吃過好幾次的食物，試試那些你連名字都可能讀不出來的東西。

6. If you’ve grown comfortable doing things solo, start doing those activities with a friend. If you only do things with friends, try to do it alone. Trust me, seeing a movie by yourself is surprisingly pleasant.
如果你習慣了自己一個人做一些事情，那就開始嘗試和朋友一起做。如果你只會和朋友一起做，那就自己做。相信我，自己去看一場電影會有很大的驚喜。

7. Make a new friend. No – that doesn’t mean add a random person on renren! At work, in class or when you’re out, start a conversation IN PERSON, and make friends with someone.
結交新的朋友。我的意思并不是指你在人人上隨便添加一個朋友。在工作中，在班級里，或者當你出門時，私下單獨和人開始一場談話，和他們做朋友。

8. Switch up your daily routine drastically. If you’re a night owl, try hitting the hay early and waking up at sunrise. If you’re an early bird, explore the late hours of the night for a change.
盡量打亂你的日常常規(guī)。如果你是一個夜貓子，就試著早睡然后早起。如果你是早起的鳥兒，那就嘗試晚點睡，改變一下自己。

9. Limit your television-watching time. Replace that newfound time to be active and live your life, as opposed to watching others.
限制自己看電視的時間。讓這段時間的自己變得更加活躍，過自己的生活，而不是觀看別人的。?

10. Choose one of your fears and confront it head-on. Don’t like heights? Try skydiving, hiking a mountain or going on a rooftop – whatever you can do, as long as the idea of it makes you uneasy.
選擇一個你恐懼的東西然后直面它。你恐高？那就試試跳傘，爬山，或者去屋頂，任何使你感到不舒服的都可以去嘗試。

11. Enter a competition in which the conditions are not all favorable to you. Failure isn’t always a bad thing, especially when it’s used properly. By losing and feeling a letdown, you would be thirsty to try again .
去參加一個情況可能對你不利的比賽。失敗并不總是壞事，尤其是用的恰到好處的時候會變成好事。通過失敗，感受到失望，你會更加想再次嘗試.

12. Say “yes” to every single opportunity that presents to you, big or small. From an invite to an event you typically wouldn’t attend, to a job promotion in a different city. Some things are life-changing, and should be embraced with open arms instead of being declined without consideration.
不管機會是大是小，都要好好抓住。不管是一次邀請你不愿意去參加的活動，還是一個去不同的城市工作的晉升。有些事情就是會改變你的一生，你應該敞開雙手去接受它們，而不是不加任何考慮就拒絕。?

Summary: how to jump out of your comfort zone?
1. Face your fears.
2. Challenge yourself.
3. Make a new acquaintance.
4. Educate yourself.
5. Try something new.
6. Be proactive.

Warning:
Don't confuse stepping out of your comfort zone with being reckless and stupid. There's a difference between being reckless and accepting risks. Reckless people don't accept risks-they don't even think about them. You should know the risks, and decide to go through with the decision anyway, ready and willing to accept the consequences if things don't work out.??
