I just read this great article in the New York Times. The author, Janet Rae-Dupree, discusses how trying new things aids in the process of building new brain synapsises. This isn’t a new concept, but rather one that we should all think about as we set our to-do list each day. My goal for the day- try something new!
A quote from the article:
“Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try — the more we step outside our comfort zone — the more inherently creative we become, both in the workplace and in our personal lives.”
