Have you tried anything new lately… Anything at all?
Let me give you some ideas, to get your brain in gear – thinking about trying something new – like:
- new foods, recipes or restaurants
- new activities, hobbies or crafts
- how about a new workout routine, piece of exercise equipment or fitness app
- maybe it’s a new date night, a new brainstorming place, or a new trail for walking
- perhaps it’s a new Networking or MeetUp group to join/try
- or a new mode of transportation, places to visit, or things to see
- trying something new could (should) be on your bucket list – just think of it as an opportunity for a new adventure
So now, let me ask you again – “Have you tried anything new lately… Anything at all?”
When was the last time you tried something new for the first time?
Why am I asking – well I’ll tell you…
This week my husband and I are on a bit of an adventure ourselves. We’re visiting our daughter in Windsor for a few days (and yes we’ve done that before – so it’s not new). But what is new is the things that we’re doing
(most of these for me are trying something new…)
- Toured Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd. in Walkerville (interesting history, plus they had just released their “Maple” product too).
- Worked at several different Starbucks (over the course of a few days & drank tea – lots of tea).
- Worked out in the University of Windsor Gym (and got to see our daughter in one of her elements as a personal trainer).
- Traveled by “tunnel bus” to Detroit for a hockey game (interesting story there at boarder customs on the way – they had a security dog in training).
- Attended a Red Wings vs Ottawa Senators Hockey game in the Joe Louis Arena (pretty cool area I’d never been in before – too bad it’s to be replaced in a year)
- Tried some new Beers (at a pub or two & at the hockey game too – although I’m not really a beer drinker – I opt for the lighter ales).
- Enjoyed fresh Sushi from a local Japanese Restaurant that our daughter suggested we try (Truth be told… I’m not a big sushi fan – but I do love the tempura and the veggie roll options too).
Every once in a while… you need to dare yourself to just try something new.
Step out of your bubble, push past your comfort zone, build more confidence, become more resilient and just do it… with no regrets!
Get out your “Bucket List” or “New Things To Try” list – and if you don’t have one of these lists then start one. Get thinking – get brainstorming – get your list started.. so that you can get out there and try the things that you’ve never tried but have wanted to. Get inspired and be an inspiration too.
Don’t wait until it’s too late… Now is the time to try something New.
Back over to you… Have you tried anything new lately… Anything at all?
When was the last time you tried something new for the first time?
