In order to move out of your comfort zone it is important to know what that term really means. Your comfort zone are things you can do without much effort, things that are familiar to you that do not bother you at all.
In order to increase your comfort zone you need to stretch yourself by getting into new areas and scenarios. Your stretch zone is where you learn new things.
Be careful because if you over-stretch you'll get into your panic zone.
If you don't stretch enough your comfort zone will decrease and things that seem ok now will become difficult. This is often what happens to old people.

It honestly doesn't sound like you are in the comfort zone anymore if you have taken the intiative to ask this question. So maybe you are further along in this process than you realize.
You clearly what more in your life, and you want to make something more of yourself. But sometimes you need to step outside of yourself for a moment.
Imagine you have been asked to mentor a young child. And this child just wants to sit around, eat junk food and stare out the window. What would you do to get the child motivated? What would you say to them?
Get up, go for a walk, go for a swim. Take a ride to your local library. Better yet, go to a retirement home or a children's hospital and volunteer your time for an hour. See that you have something more to offer not only yourself, but the world around you.

Get up and do 1 thing each day (or every other day) you wouldn't normally do (mow the lawn? do some ironing? Some kind of sports you've never tried? Take a walk around the block?) Doesn't have to take all day. even half an hour would do. Pretty soon you'll find you'll be broadening your horizons. You'll meet new people, do new things. That in turn might motivate you to make some changes.
YOU have to do it. Nobody else is going to drag you off your couch. Start with small steps.

You have to look at time as an investment. When you realise how much of your time is wasted, you will find the motivation to make a change. See the link below.

when you - dont - feel comfortable, normal, confident, usual, like you know where you are with things,. etc
or when you feel nervous, uncertain ...
you gettin the idea?
another way to explain, when you were younger, and you first approached a girl (I presume you a bloke and a girl is your pref) to ask her out - bet you felt nervous. and here you were out of your comfort zone
some also describe the approach as trial by fire if you push it hard.
