Getting More of the Good Stuff

A quick reminder on how new experiences can make us feel.
Are you ready to get more of the good stuff in your life? Our body, mind and spirit thrives in and on new experiences. Science has shown that our brains release the feel-good chemical dopamine in reaction to positive experiences. One study, has shown that this same type of dopamine release is triggered in response to the mere expectation of a new experience. We can benefit from exploring new opportunities. So, why do we more often stick with what is comfortable, maybe even a bit b-o-r-i-n-g? It’s safe, easy and our lives aren’t so bad. But ask yourself, how did you feel the last time you tried something new? Maybe it was as simple as ordering your coffee a new way, or buying and preparing a different color vegetable for dinner, or taking a different route on your daily walk or maybe it was taking a class or workshop. The more new experiences you integrate into your life, cultivates confidence and willingness to continue to stretch your mind, body and spirit. So, go ahead and try it this week and get more of the good stuff in your life.
