hello everyone and welcome back to the

English dialogue podcast I'm

Mike and I'm Emma today we're diving

into a topic that's both inspiring and

challenging if you never try it you will

never know it's about taking Chan is

stepping out of your comfort zone and

discovering new possibilities that's

right Emma how many times have we

hesitated to try something new only to

look back later and wonder what if

whether it's learning a skill starting a

project or simply saying yes to an

opportunity trying is the first step to

knowing exactly but let's be honest Mike

it's not always easy fear of failure

self-doubt and even the comfort of

routine can hold us back that's why

today we'll explore why it's so

important to try what holds people back

and how to push through the fear let's

jump in let's start with the basics Emma

why do you think trying new things is so

important I think it's all about growth

Mike every time you try something new

you learn whether it's about the world a

skill or yourself even if it doesn't

work out you've gained

experience what about you I completely

agree Emma and I think trying is also

how we discover our

passions sometimes the things we end up

loving the most are the things we almost

didn't try that's such a good point Mike

and let's not forget that trying builds

confidence every time you step out of

your comfort zone and succeed or even

just survive you prove to yourself that

you're capable

absolutely and even when things don't go

as planned there's value in the

experience failure isn't the opposite of

success it's part of the

process so Mike let's talk about what

holds people back from trying new things

what do you think is the biggest

barrier I think fear is a big one Emma

fear of failure fear of rejection or

even fear of the unknown can stop people

in their tracks what about about you I

completely agree and I'd add self-doubt

people often think I'm not good enough

or I can't do that so they don't even

try so true and I think Comfort plays a

role too it's easy to stay in your

routine or stick with what's familiar

even if it's not fulfilling trying

something new requires effort and

uncertainty absolutely and let's not

forget about societal expectations

sometimes people avoid trying new things

because they're afraid of what others

will think or say that's such an

important Point Emma but recognizing

these barriers is the first step to

overcoming them let's bring this to life

with some stories Mike can you think of

a time when you took a chance and it

paid off definitely Emma I once had the

chance to move to a new city for a job I

was nervous about leaving my comfort

zone but I decided to go for it

it turned out to be one of the best

decisions I ever made I grew so much

personally and

professionally what about you that's

such a great example Mike for me it was

starting a blog I was terrified of

putting my thoughts out there but once I

started I discovered how much I loved

writing and connecting with

readers that's amazing Emma these

stories show that taking a chance can

lead to unexpected Rewards

and even if it doesn't there's still so

much value in the experience absolutely

but let's also acknowledge that not

every risk works out do you have a story

where trying something didn't go as

planned oh for sure I once tried to

learn how to surf and let's just say it

was a humbling

experience I spent more time falling

than standing but you know what it was

still fun and I gained a lot of respect

for the sport

what about you definitely I once signed

up for a cooking competition thinking it

would be a fun challenge I didn't win

but I learned so much about cooking

under pressure and I discovered I'm

better at eating than competing let's

talk about strategies Emma what's your

first tip for pushing through the fear

of trying something new my first tip is

to start small Mike you don't have to

dive into the deep end just take one

small step toward your goal it's less

overwhelming and still gets you moving

what about you that's a great one Emma

I'd say focus on the potential rewards

instead of the risks ask yourself what's

the best thing that could happen if I

try this it can shift your mindset from

Fear to excitement so true and I'd add

prepare as much as you can whether it's

researching practicing or talking to

someone who's done before preparation

can help you feel more

confident that's a great Point Emma

another tip is to embrace failure as

part of the process instead of seeing it

as something to avoid view it as a

stepping stone to growth I love that

Mike and i' also suggest finding support

having a friend Mentor or Community

cheering you on can make a huge

difference Emma let's talk about the

benefit of trying what do you think

people gain from stepping out of their

comfort zone so much Mike for one they

gain experience even if things don't go

perfectly every attempt teaches you

something valuable what about you

absolutely Emma and I think trying also

builds resilience the more you push

yourself the more you realize you're

capable of handling

challenges so true and let's not forget

the joy of Discovery trying new things

can introduce you to passions skills and

experiences you never knew you'd enjoy

exactly Emma and I'd add that it can

expand your

opportunities whether it's meeting new

people finding a new career path or

opening doors you didn't know existed

try and creates

possibilities Mike let's address the

other side are there times when it's

okay not to try something

definitely Emma if trying something goes

against your values or feels unsafe it's

okay to say no not every opportunity is

the right one what about you I

completely agree and I'd add that

sometimes timing matters if you're

already overwhelmed or not in the right

head space it's okay to wait until

you're ready that's such an important

Point Emma it's about finding the

balance between pushing yourself and

respecting your limits Mike this has

been such an inspiring

conversation the phrase if you never try

it you will never know is such a

powerful reminder to take chances and

embrace the unknown absolutely Emma to

anyone listening if there's something

you've been hesitating to try take that

first step whether it works out or not

you'll learn and grow from the

experience and remember life is full of

possibilities the only way to discover

them is to take a chance and see where

it leads well said Emma thanks for

tuning in to the English dialogue

podcast if you found this episode

helpful share it with someone who might

need a little encouragement to try

something new until next time take care

and keep trying you never know what

amazing things are waiting for you
