#tryingnewthings By Joe Gradia 🔹 1. Start Small
• You don’t need a big change—try a new food, take a different route to work, or listen to a genre of music you’ve never explored.
• Small steps build confidence.

⸻

🔹 2. Make a “New Things” List
• Jot down ideas like:
• Learn a new skill or language
• Visit a new town or restaurant
• Try a new sport or workout
• Read a different kind of book
• Take a class or workshop

⸻

🔹 3. Say “Yes” More Often
• Be open to invitations or suggestions, even if they push you slightly out of your comfort zone.
• Growth happens when you’re a little uncomfortable.

⸻

🔹 4. Make It a Weekly Habit
• Choose one new thing to try every week.
• It can be fun, educational, physical, or just different.

⸻

🔹 5. Reflect and Journal
• After each new experience, take a moment to reflect.
• Ask: What did I enjoy? What did I learn? Would I do it again?

⸻

🔹 6. Embrace Imperfection
• You don’t have to be good at it.
• The goal is the experience, not mastery.

⸻

🔹 7. Involve Others
• Invite friends or family to join. Shared experiences often create stronger memories.
