Experience new things

If you’re living on auto-pilot, you’re doing your brain and your life a disservice.

Expose yourself to new experiences.

It doesn’t need to be big things.

Sure, a fantastical trip around the world may provide a lot of growth and memories.

But even little things can work wonders.

Brush your teeth with the opposite hand.

Read a book that’s out of the ordinary.

Take a new route home,

Try something new at the restaurant.

The more things you experience, the more surface area of association you’re providing your brain.

Your brain uses those associations to remember and make connections.

More new experiences = more ways for your brain to associate.

Use these small opportunities to snap your brain out of auto-pilot.

You’ll be surprised by how much you notice and how much you’ll grow.
