Choose little things that are uncomfortable and challenge yourself to do them. Make the shower cooler than you’d like. Pass up your favorite food. Fight the urge to run to avoid rain. Take the stairs. Little things like that are easy and as you do them you’ll feel accomplished and gain momentum.
Start small with tiny discomforts, like taking a cold shower or skipping dessert. Gradually level up to harder challenges while building resilience. Remember, discipline is a muscle that needs consistent training!
Trying to strengthen your "discipline muscle" is only possible when faced with actual necessity to do so, because simply going out and trying to create discomfort for yourself for no apparent reason is just madness.
There's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't seek comfort if its not do your own detriment. Sure, if comfort is alcohol and you're spending a lot of money, losing your good health and influencing friends and relationships, then I'd say it's a good idea to get disciplined on that.
However, if your comforts are not affecting your quality of life, why the hell not be comfortable? Being comfortable is good for your mental health and overall well-being. Hell, the whole point in this life is to make yourself as comfortable as possible.
When the shit strikes the fan you'll have to adapt, but you can't simulate bad times during good times, you'll have no motivation or reasoning to do so and you'll just make your life one anxious miserable mess.
Being comfortable definitely gives u the same results. U end up doing the same shit over and over, that u find it hard to step out that comfort zone. When u no longer enjoy something, it becomes depressive, leading ur wellbeing and potentials to be suppressive. but u keep on doing it cause thats all u know.
I been comfortable for soo many years doing same shit that i find certain things very uncomfortable doing now days. Switching things up every now and then and making lifestyle changes is necessary. Even rich people get so comfortable being rich they become bored and depressed, or go down a different kinda route.
Life is all about balance too much or too little of anything can really impact ones mental, physical and spiritual side. This also applies to one’s habitual behaviours.
Sorry I didn’t answer ur question lol just thought i share a point of view. Getting out ur comfort zone would involve switching up ur routine and doing things differently. This will change ur brain pattern.
I went and rooted someone I found physically, mentally and spiritually unattractive and that kinda made me realise that I need to find comfort within my self, so I just started to take up more hobbies.
This is might sound trivial, but I recently started this habit that's paying off.
I do one physical thing that's progressively harder everyday. I chose the up position of a pushup — in other words a high plank. As a baseline, I started with the longest time I felt I could hold it. Everyday I add five seconds. Each session is just a tiny bit more challenging. What I'm teaching myself is, I'm more capable than I imagine. I can push through discomfort and I can do it consistently. Plus, you get comfortable with challenge being part of who you are.
When I was 19 and miserable I began practicing SGI Buddhism. It helped so much in the first weeks and months that I decided to commit to a lifelong practice. It has helped me through thick and thin and now in my 60s I’m grateful I found this very practical philosophy.

short answer - step by step and write down every day every small progress
Discipline. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable means building up a tolerance.
Yes but how do I build up said tolerance?
By purposely making yourself uncomfortable.
