In one direction at a time, and with the specific INTENTION of expanding your comfort zone (which is closely tied to your personal minimums)!I see this advice given quite often and always wonder, if you don't exceed your comfort zone, how does it ever expand?
Decrease your visibility requirements, but only in a familiar plane when you're well rested.
Fly a longer distance than you're used to, but again, only in relatively good weather.
Experiment with mountain flying, but with a qualified instructor aboard.
Learn a new piece of avionics, but under VFR conditions and a safety pilot.
DON'T EVEN THINK of doing all of these at the same time!
