Welcome to the Country Proud Living Podcast, I am your host LoriLynn!
When was the last time you tried something new?!? Today on the pod I am providing 5 reasons why it’s time to try some things you’ve never done before!
You’ll Be Happier and More Positive
Trying new things can certainly be fun, but it has actually proven that it makes you happier and more optimistic. That’s because when you try new things, your body produces and releases dopamine and serotonin—two feel-good hormones that spark pleasure and motivation and reduce anxiety.
You’ll Renew Motivation and Inspiration
Feeling inspired and energized isn’t just for creatives. Without it, life can feel dull and even pointless. As mentioned above, trying new things releases dopamine, which in part drives motivation.
You’ll Be a More Well-Rounded Person
Who’s the most interesting person at social events? The one with the stories, of course! The more new things you try, the more you can share about your adventures and lessons learned and potentially spark a meaningful connection.
You’ll See How Other People Live
Every time you travel somewhere new, try a new foods, or learn a new tradition, you’re experiencing how other people in other parts of the world live their life. Expanding your knowledge, you learn how other people live and why, your perspective on life starts to shift.
You Get to Know Yourself Better
If experience is the best teacher, then actually experiencing things is the only way to learn. You’ll never know if you never try it. Trying something new might even leave you so surprised by how much you loved it.
