Get Out Of That Rut!

The saying goes, "if you do what you always did, you will get what you always got." What is it that you need to do differently?

Most of us are creatures of habit. Routine has it's place and is a discipline in and of itself. However when routine stifles life to the point that we are not allowing ourselves to experience new things, it could be time to take a fresh approach. 

Challenge yourself to do a new thing or an old thing a new way. Start small,  take a different route to work. Change your hair color or style. It does'nt have to be drastic, if you wear the part on the right side change it to the left. Rearrange the furniture in one room of your house or the entire house. Are you preparing the same ole meals? Try a new recipe, a new food, a new restaurant. Wbat about that perfume you have been wearing for the last several years. Try a new frangrance. Try watching a television show you never watched or you thought would not interest you. Take a trip to a place that you have not been.

Studies show that when you make changes, it forces your brain off of "automatic pilot". Change encourages your brain to work harder and even helps to prevent dimentia. And more importantly it allows you to LIVE and experience life from a new and fresh prospective!

What will you do differently? Follow your heart into new and exciting experiences!
