给生活点新鲜刺激:跳出舒适区的20种方法

1. Put your personal work out in the world so that it’s potentially vulnerable for negative comments. A video on YouTube, a piece of writing online – anything that can be complimented or critiqued, which will either boost your confidence or thicken your skin.
1. 让整个世界来评判自己的工作，这样就很容易收到一些负面的评论。在YouYube网站发布一个视频，在网站写一句话，任何可以参与评论的东西都可以，这样可能会增强你的自信心，也有可能会让你的脸皮更厚。

2. Do something over-the-top embarrassing to make a fool of yourself. Take part in a dance-off, test out cheesy pickup lines, make preposterous requests at restaurants.
2. 做一些很囧的事情来自嘲一下。在集体舞即将结束时掺和一下，临时说几句台词，在饭馆提一些很可笑的要求。

3. Set a colossal ambition that will require you to discipline yourself and accomplish smaller goals first. e.g. Running a marathon that will require weeks or months of training.
3. 设定一个很大的目标，这需要你严格要求自己，并且刚开始要你先完成一些小目标。例如：跑马拉松需要几个周甚至几个月的训练。

4. Allow a friend to make plans for you, giving them creative control of a night filled with unknown festivities. Comfort is all about knowing what to expect and having limited surprises, this will be a unique change of scenery.
4. 让你的朋友帮你制定计划，让他们利用创意去安排一个你完全无法预知的欢乐夜晚。舒适感就是知道接下来要发生的事情，而没什么惊喜。这样毫无准备的话可以改变一切。

5. Read a book from a section you’d normally never set foot in. If autobiographies are normally your thing, check out a Teen-Fiction novel or Humor piece. Whatever is outside of the norm.
5. 读一本你一般情况下都不会涉足的领域的书。如果你一般读传记，那么你可以试一下虚幻小说或者幽默小说。不管怎样，要从你一般不涉足的领域选择。

6. Perform some type of public speaking, such as a poetry or reading at an open mic night.
6. 在公共场合演讲，比如在晚会上做一个诗歌朗诵或者阅读。

7. Pickup a new hobby that you currently have very little ability to do. Musical instruments, cooking, painting, writing, dancing, etc.
7. 培养一个现在你还没有足够能力去做好的新爱好，比如说乐器，烹饪，画画，写作，跳舞等等。

8. Go on an adventure and explore a surrounding city or an area you’re unfamiliar with, using no GPS or assistance from your phone. Enjoy being lost and getting around only by investigating for yourself, and asking others for directions.
8. 去冒险吧，探索一个你不熟悉的周边城市或地区，不借助GPS或者手机设备。享受迷失的感觉，考自己调查或者询问他人来获得方向。

9. It’s not always easy to express our feelings to the people we love the most. Make time for the people you consider yourself closest to, and vocalize your care for them, despite how much easier it can be to think “I love you” than to say it.
9. 想对我们最爱的人表达感情，并不是一件容易的事。给那些你觉得和自己亲近的人一点时间，虽然在心里想着“我爱你”比说出来更容易，但也要用语言表达出你对他们的关心。

10. Go to a restaurant you’ve never actually been to and order something unique off of the menu. No cheeseburgers or salads, nothing you’ve had several times – and preferably something you struggle to pronounce.
10. 去一个你从来没有去过的饭馆，点一些菜单上没有的东西。不要点奶酪汉堡包或者沙拉，不要点那些你吃过好几次的食物，最好是那些你连名字都可能读不出来的东西。
