I've been thinking a lot about learning new things and how important it is for adults to keep up their brain elasticity. We do so much talking on this blog about learning new things - all of which are very career driven! Today I want to stress the importance of learning something new to challenge your brain, heart, and spirit. I recently purchased a ukelele off of Amazon for this very reason. As I embark on learning something new just because it feels good, I invite you guys to try the same. Maybe you will never get to be a professional ukelele player... but learning new skills keeps the brain active, helps you become a great problem solver, increases confidence, and makes you a more active person which can improve your career and personal relationship success!
Here are a few things you can try:
Join a new sports team
Learn a musical instrument
Study a new language
Drive stick shift
Try some new card games
Listen to a new type of music
Take dance lessons
Try some yoga
And remember, you don't have to pay to learn new skills! Always check
youtube.com for FREE video resources or ask your neighbors (or ECHO) for some help!
