Experimental Living
When was the last time you tried something new?
Do you have trouble doing things that make you uneasy?
E.g. At work, there is a new team formed, and they are asking volunteers who can help. Specifically, they want you to coordinate knowledge sharing sessions twice a month. It involves reaching out to people whom you don't know. There is little chance of success. What would you do?
At home, you want to change that painting on the wall. You know what you want, but you are unable to find it online or in shops. Will you be willing to go that extra yard and make that yourself? Will you try something different?
We all face adversity and challenging times in our life when that extra step or an additional effort could make a difference to our success or motivation.
Remember the last time you pushed yourself into sports or when you experimented with cooking?
However, because of fear of failure or procrastination, we don't do things that could spark our creativity.
Imagine if you lived life as a series of experiments?
What would happen if you could experiment with each experience and find out what you were good at?
What if you learned something new about yourself in the process?
The best thing about experimental living is that you always have the opportunity to go back to the status quo. You also don’t feel bad if you fail because that fault is not part of who you are.
What can you do:
- Practice Gratitude. Let's be thankful for the opportunities we get in our lives.
- Practice experimenting with small changes
- Practice pushing yourself to do something different each day that helps you learn something more
- Practice understanding your mindset for change and learning what emotions you have when you go through the process
We tell our children to push themselves, try new things, be creative and challenge their beliefs. Could we possibly start doing the same thing for ourselves?
