Overview
  • Doing new things and testing ourselves boosts creativity and confidence, adds spice to life, amps up your brainpower, and gives you room to become your best dang self. 💥
  • With ideas like volunteering, doing a trapeze class, learning a new instrument or language, seeing a psychic, rock climbing... etc, here's a list of things to get you out of your comfort zone. ⭐️

We're ruled by habits. We cook up the same brekkie every morning, choose the same seat on the bus, read the same genre of book... Don't get me wrong, habits are fab! They keep us organised and on track!

But baby, it can get a little too comfortable here. 😮‍💨 When we stay a little too rigid in our comfort zone, psychological barriers start building. If we don't do anything fresh 'n funky, basically, we begin to think we can’t.

Doing new things and testing ourselves boosts creativity and confidence, adds spice to life, amps up your brainpower, and gives you room to become your best self. ⭐️

So here are 50 new things, challenges, and goals to shoot for. Some big, some small, and all impactful. Choose whatever ones you're interested in! 🥰
