Feeling Good Tip of the Day ~ Seek Out the New

Discover something new. As humans, we are hard-wired to experience joy when experiencing novelty. Developing a new pursuit can help us refocus our energy. Give yourself permission to take a few moments of pleasure, especially when you are feeling low. You can try NPR’s Joy Generator for a taste.

NOTE: It takes energy to get up off the sofa and do something new. The familiar often traps us to new experiences. I recall the first time I stood on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. I was overwhelmed with a sense of wonder and joy. Seek out new experiences, you deserve moments of joy and the wonderful feelings that accompany it.
