How To Get Yourself Out Of Your Comfort Zone This Autumn

All of us were Born Social.

Born to chat, born to mingle, born to make new friends and express ourselves.

Living life to the fullest should be on all of our bucket lists – trying new things, meeting new people, and going out of our way to do things with confidence.

And yet sometimes, stepping out of our comfort zone can be difficult. There are a million and one things stopping us, from fear of the unknown to anxieties around disappointment to simply being unsure of ourselves.

Schweppes believe that every one of us were Born Social, and that taking leaps, trying new things, and meeting new people will ensure that each of us is living life to the fullest.

Here are three simple ways to help you do that this autumn.

1. Forget what other people think

Nobody’s looking at you, and no one is judging you.

One of the most common reasons why we stay in our comfort zones and fail to make moves is that we’re scared of what other people are thinking.

They might judge, they might hate, they might forever remember you as the person who did something a bit wild and extravagant. But it’s better to be remembered as a risk taker, than not remembered at all.

2. Say ‘yes’ to something that scares you

It doesn’t need to be everything, but say ‘yes’ to something.

Whether it’s the trip away with friends that you’ve been avoiding organising, the first date you’ve been too nervous to set up, or the new job you’re concerned you won’t nail – take yourself out of your comfort zone and live life how you want to.

Once you say ‘yes’ to one thing that’s scared you, you’ll realise that there was nothing to be frightened of, and the world will be your oyster.

3. Remember that all of us were Born Social

Our younger years were where we were most comfortable in ourselves. Untouched by the expectations and pressures of society, we were relaxed, free, and of course, social.

Schweppes believes that all of us were Born Social, and that we could all benefit from saying ‘no’ to comfort once in a while, and saying ‘yes’ to getting out and about, mingling with new people, and loosening up wherever we can.

The idea behind Born Social is simple: it’s a reminder to live life to its fullest, do what makes you happy, and make as many memories as possible.

Schweppes has long been an iconic drink and much loved premium mixer, and our go-to when socialising. Thanks to its signature effervescence, subtle aromas, and long-lasting bubbles, having a Schweppes in hand makes it easy to live life as you were born to – socially.

Schweppes is available from leading bars and restaurants nationwide and has recently introduced two new sparkling soft drinks to the Irish market, Pink Grapefruit meets Blood Orange and Lime meets Mango. Find out more here.
