Time To Try Something New!

When was the last time you tried something for the first time?

Most of us are afraid of trying something new for fear of failing. We don't want to look silly or incompetent in front of our friends, family, even our children. We pass on Zumba class. We take a rain check on Sing Star nights with the girls. And we use a number of excuses to justify our actions: too busy, no babysitter, lack of budget.

Trying something new opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities. Doing the same thing each day - meeting the same people, eating at the same restaurant, working in the same office - gets boring and lacks challenge after a while. Seek fresh opportunities and ideas and don't be afraid to take on new projects that come your way.

Although I wrote a special report about breaking out of your comfort zone (which you receive when you sign up for our newsletter) we forget to try new things regularly. It's probably time to shake things up a little. It just takes one little step.

Hesitant to sign up for an online course on a topic you want to know more about? Go for it! Not only will you gain knowledge on this topic but you will also find out about how distance education works. You may also learn something about yourself - you're not as intimidated, introverted or incapable as you thought you were.

Aim to try something different every week. It doesn't have to be a big thing. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you discover.
