For me, for the most part, I usually like to mix things up and this year- one of my New year's resolutions has been to try new and different things. And it had been fun- sometimes I've loved it and other times it hasn't agreed with me but I'm much the wiser and more expanded because of it!
I've tried: new sports, visiting new places I've never been before (Asia and Australia, Scotland), a new cake from my fave Patisserie Valerie almost every month (who said resolutions needed to be difficult?! Lol) and a daily blog, to name but a few things... And most I've found so thrilling and exciting!
The point I'm making here, is don't be scared to just get out there and do new things. Especially and obviously that which sounds exciting and inspiring to you.
You just never know where it'll take you. As Steve Jobs said 'You can't connect the dots looking forward!'
So try a new book, group, food, sport, activity for the fun and expansion. You'll add to the colour and variety of your life and you'll learn a bit more about what makes you tick.
NB: Be easy and kind to yourself. You can't expect yourself to be an expert at everything you do. In fact, the more you do, the more you'll find that you're not good at! But don't let anyone talk you down (not least of all yourself!), if anyone is impatient or unkind then ignore them and take your business elsewhere! For me, as I can be really slow sometimes, I need someone who is patient and able yo break things down for me- which is what I like to be as a teacher.
So have fun, try new things, experience that this life has to offer!
All is well!
Happy New-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
