"Embrace the unfamiliar; it's the doorway to your greatest discoveries."

When you get into a routine, sometimes you forget the importance of trying new things. The days become easy. They might even become a blur, and you may not remember anything from one day to the next. You may feel as if you lack any creativity at all. Doing new things interrupts your routine and brings new life into your day. It can also do so much more for us! 

7 Reasons To Try Something New

Dealing with failure

When you do more things, you will experience more failure. This may be frightening and a reason you have chosen not to do new things. However, failure, when you try, is something you can learn from. Remember, you are experiencing failure right now if you’re not doing new things. You might as well do new things so that you’ll learn more.

Experience more success

It’s all in the numbers. If you experience more failure, the numbers say that you’re also going to experience more success. You can’t help it. Once you understand how success feels, you’ll want to do more things so that you can feel it even more.

The butterfly effect is real

Some people call this the ripple effect or the domino effect. Essentially, what it means is that every single little change you make in your life, or thing that you learn, is going to cause everything you do from that day forward to be different than it would have been if you had not had that experience. Consider what would life be like today if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates did not start their businesses when they did?

""Trying new things opens the path to endless possibilities."


To overcome challenges 

By doing more things, you get to learn about and experience overcoming any challenges that you may face. Each time you have an experience in life, you learn from it so that with the next experience, you can use what you learned to improve it. 

Becoming more curious 

The more you do, the more you learn, 
and the more you realize you don’t know, the more curious you’re going to become. Once you become curious, you will start to 
generate more ideas and become even more creative in every aspect of your life.

Learn from others' experiences

The more things you expose yourself to, the more people you’ll meet. The more people you engage with, the more people you can learn from. You don’t have to experience something first hand to learn about it.

Learn to push yourself

Sometimes, doing new things can challenge us to push through our boundaries. The more you do that, the better because you’ll be able to call on that feeling in other aspects of your life too. 

"New experiences are the building blocks of a richer life."


Stepping outside your comfort zone can be daunting, but the benefits of trying new things are numerous, and far outweigh any risks you may think are there. New experiences can spark fresh ideas and ignite creativity, leading to a more fulfilling life. They can also challenge your perspective and help you develop new skills. Whether it's a new hobby, cuisine, or travel destination, embracing the unfamiliar can lead to personal growth and a newfound appreciation for the world around you. Life is about doing new things. Make a list of the things that you want to try and start marking them off. Remember, growth only truly begins at the edge of our comfort zones!

Bringing Awareness: Self Defeating Behaviour

  What Self-Defeating Behavior Is Self-defeating behavior refers to actions or attitudes that hinder one's own goals or well-being, often despite knowing better. It's when people engage in behaviors that ultimately undermine their own success, happiness, or fulfillment.  Some examples of self- defeating behavior include procrastination, self-sabotage, perfectionism, or engaging in harmful habits like using drugs and alcohol, despite having the desire to change. We tend to think that most opposition comes from outside of ourselves—a complaining spouse, a controlling boss, a road-raging driver—but rarely do we acknowledge the truth of the matter: we are often our own worst enemies. When I say often, I mean none times out of ten, WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY! Truly I mean no disrespect but I feel I had a very hard time to actually understand that bit of things.  Ways To Stop Self-Defeating Behavior  Let Go Of Victory It’s nice to win, but you don’t have to win all the time.

Developing Mindfulness  Ok so if you are like me and working on yourself, you've probably seen over and over again is to be mindful. Mindfulness involves having a deep sense of awareness and acceptance of our own thoughts, feelings and surroundings without judgement. People typically develop mindfulness through practices like meditation, deep breathing, and focusing on the present moment.  Regular practice helps to strengthen mindfulness skills over time. I've found the most effective mindfulness practices for myself are: Meditation  Focusing attention on the breath, body sensations, or a specific object.
