Novelty

NOVELTY.

Turning ordinary moments into extraordinary ones just by trying something new.

Trying new things, especially for the first time, helps our brains create vivid memories. These positive memories make us feel like we have more time and make our experiences more meaningful.

We can make time feel abundant and life more meaningful. Novelty doesn't have to be big, complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. It can be as simple as...

++ calling up your bestie for a sporadic lunch date at the new restaurant
++ taking the backroads where you’re going instead of the fastest route
++ sprinkles on your ice cream
++ a fluffy fort on the ground for movie night vs. the couch
++ changing up your daily routine
++ dancing when the music moves you

Taking a little extra time to design our lives instead of sticking to the same old routines.

And most importantly, do not fall into the trap of thinking, "When I have more money, lose weight/get fit, have more time, get more sleep, finish this busy season..."

Novelty is the secret sauce to slowing down and making more meaningful memories. Living instead of existing.
