Don't Step out of Your Comfort Zone—Stretch Your Comfort Zone.
You know how we sometimes shy away from things that don't come naturally to us? Let's turn that around. Picture your comfort zone as having an elastic band wrapped around it. You want to keep pushing on that band, stretching it outward so that your comfort zone eventually becomes larger. Specifically, how about setting aside a bit of time each week, maybe an hour or so, just to work on something that's a bit of a stretch for you? It could be anything that you feel you're not ace at right now. This isn't about becoming perfect at it overnight but about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable and gradually expanding your comfort zone, you know? Each session, you're stretching your comfort zone, increasing the number of things you can do comfortably. And before you know it, what was once a tough nut to crack starts to feel like second nature. That's how you grow—bit by bit, week by week!
Translation
你不用跳脱舒适圈，而是──扩大舒适圈
你知道我们有时会避开自己比较不擅长的事情吗？让我们来改变这种情况。想像一下你的舒适圈是用一条弹力带包围着。你要持续推动这条带子，让它向外伸展，这样你的舒适圈最终会变得更大。具体来说，每周空出一点时间，可能一个小时左右，做一些超出你能力的事。这可以是任何你觉得自己现在不是很擅长的事。不是要你一夜之间变得完美，只是要你去做一点不舒适的事，并且慢慢地扩张你的舒适圈，懂吗？每一次的训练，你都在拓展你的舒适圈，增加你可以舒适做事情的量。而且，在你不知不觉中，那些曾经是棘手的问题开始变成你擅长处理的事情。这就是你成长的方式──一点一点，一周一周！
