I’m becoming more interested in expanding as I age—not contracting.
Trying something new. Learning something I don’t know. Setting a goal that scares me a little. Taking a different route. Saying yes to something outside my usual routine.
It doesn’t have to be a marathon or a major life change. It can be ballroom dancing, a new restaurant, a different style of clothing, brushing your teeth with your other hand, or simply doing something you’re not very good at…yet.
Novelty, challenge, learning and curiosity are all good for our brains. But just as important to me, they keep life interesting.
I don’t want to spend my later years making my world smaller because it feels more comfortable.
I want more experiences.
More challenges.
More things to look forward to.
Expansion, not contraction.
What’s something new you’re going to try?
