According to PsychCentral: "A '''comfort zone''' is a psychological state in which things feel familiar to a person, and they are at ease, and in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress. In this zone, a steady level of performance is possible."<ref>[https://psychcentral.com/blog/comfort-zones-an-alternative-perspective#1 Comfort Zones: An Alternative Perspective], PsychCentral</ref>

Having a [[growth mindset]] increases a person's comfort zone. According to Western Governors University: "A growth mindset means that you thrive on challenge, and don’t see failure as a way to describe yourself but as a springboard for growth and developing your abilities. Your [[intelligence]] and talents are all susceptible to growth. Dr. Carol Dweck of Stanford University first talked about the power of mindset nearly 30 years ago. Carol Dweck and her team became interested in the attitude of students when it comes to failure. After studying the behavior of students and children, the term “growth mindset” came about. Simply put, this mindset means that you believe in your ability to become better through hard work, and help from others."<ref>[https://www.wgu.edu/blog/what-is-growth-mindset-8-steps-develop-one1904.html#close What is a growth mindset? 8 steps to develop one.],  Western Governors University</ref>

According to PsychCentral: "A comfort zone is a psychological state in which things feel familiar to a person, and they are at ease, and in control of their environment, experiencing low levels of anxiety and stress. In this zone, a steady level of performance is possible."[1]

Having a growth mindset increases a person's comfort zone. According to Western Governors University: "A growth mindset means that you thrive on challenge, and don’t see failure as a way to describe yourself but as a springboard for growth and developing your abilities. Your intelligence and talents are all susceptible to growth. Dr. Carol Dweck of Stanford University first talked about the power of mindset nearly 30 years ago. Carol Dweck and her team became interested in the attitude of students when it comes to failure. After studying the behavior of students and children, the term “growth mindset” came about. Simply put, this mindset means that you believe in your ability to become better through hard work, and help from others."[2]

Having an achievement orientation and goal setting increases a person's desire to expand their comfort zone.

Making small changes over time is one strategy to expand one's comfort zone as it gets the process of change started (See: Kaizen).

The article Benefit from taking risks states:

“ You never really know what you're capable of until you push yourself outside of your comfort zone. When you take risks, you learn more about your strengths and weaknesses. This self-knowledge can be invaluable in both your personal and professional life.

Taking risks can lead to new opportunities.

If you're always playing it safe, you're likely to miss out on new opportunities. Sometimes, the only way to get what you want is to go for it. Even if you don't succeed at first, taking risks can open up doors that you never would have thought possible.[3]
