Sometimes I get into a rut and forget about the world as a global resource of learning and fun. Part of nourishing ourselves is to keep learning and there is no better way than to try something new. I like to take just one day a month and do it different. It helps to get into beginner’s mind once in a while.  I’m a total novice when it comes to paddle boarding. My legs were shaky and the whole time I imagined falling off the board but man was it fun.

Reward your soul by trying something new:

1. Try a new sport (check)
2. Read a biography
3. Watch a foreign film/documentary
4. Listen to classical music for one day
5. Learn to say a few phrases in a new language
6. Try food from a different culture (lunch in Chinatown, Little Italy or try Ethiopian)
7. Cook an ethnic meal
8. Catch an improv or comedy show
9. Go to a planetarium
10. Visit an art museum
11. Visit a museum of science
12. Take a dance class
13. Take a music class
14. Visit a travel/transportation museum
15. Take a cooking or baking class
16. Take a drawing/painting class
17. See a concert
18. Attend a gallery or art show opening
19. Visit a craft fair
20. Take an online writing class
