Get out of your comfort zone

跳出舒适区

Face your fears. But do it in small steps.

直面恐惧，但是一小步一小步来。

This is one of the best ways to overcome fears and get out of your comfort zone. What holds us back in our zone of comfort is often a fear or that facing that fear straight on might be overwhelming. This is a solution to those two problems. It allows you to stretch your comfort zone slowly making it less uncomfortable and frightening.

这是克服恐惧，走出舒适区最好的方法之一。经常将我们带回舒适区的通常就是恐惧或者直面恐惧的疲惫。一步一步去面对恐惧能够解决之前提到的两个问题。这能够让你慢慢地延长你的舒适区，让你面对恐惧的时候不那么害怕。

If you’re for instance nervous socially you might not feel able to ask people out on dates right away. The fear of being rejected and that others might think less of you if you get turned down can make many of us feel unable to ask the question.

例如，如果你社交恐惧，不敢马上约别人出去，害怕被拒绝，并且如果你的音调很低，会让别人更少的注意到你，也可能让大部分人无法问你问题。

So you take small steps instead. Steps like first just saying hi to people. Or starting to talk more to people online via forums and Instant Messaging. And then trying to be more involved in conversations at work or in school to exercise your conversation-muscles.

那么你可以小步骤慢慢来，如一开始只是和他打招呼，或者通过论坛或即时通讯工具开始和更多的人交谈，然后尽量投入到工作或学校里的对话，来锻炼你的社交能力。
