There is a LOT of science around that supports that brain health and neuroplasticity comes from doing NEW things or old things differently. Even brushing your teeth with your other hand keeps your brain young!
Doings something small, that’s new is easy, it’s good for you and it is actually FUN.
Step 1: Say, God I want to try some new things. (This sets the expectation and Asks so you get COOL new
things.)
Step 2: Be willing and say YES. (Also, set aside $10 for this experiment so you can buy something if needed)
That’s it!
I tried the meat and cheese in the “fancy”
section of my grocery store and then actually BOUGHT the $10 imported, Italian, super fancy, way too tiny for the price salami they were selling. Turns out, I loved it. Bought another and have now branched into different varieties. Meat is on my approved snacking list!
I turned my radio to the country music station. That is not my normal music. I said, “God tell me about my mate” and turned the
station on. I got some of the coolest lyrics that I would LOVE a man to feel for me! Here is one of the songs called “Yeah”. (Country music really does have more positive, “she is amazing” lyrics.)
I now build furniture! I make stuff. I
fix stuff. I unclogged my bathroom sink. I reinstalled the deadbolt strike on my front door (my lock turns easily now!) I selected and installed 3 motion activated security lights around my house.
