Comfort zone
how to push myself out of my routine
The comfort zone is the range of action where your predicted outcome and your actual outcome match closely enough that you feel no threat. It expands only by being exceeded, which is why it shrinks in people who stop testing its edge.
What to do about it
Do one thing weekly whose outcome you genuinely cannot predict.
