Can you remember when you last tried something completely new? Maybe not; most of the time, people tend to stick to what they already know, afraid to step out of their comfort zones. This is entirely understandable, and it’s not surprising if this is the way you live your life. In truth, there is nothing wrong with being comfortable, and there is nothing wrong with not trying new things, but when you do try them, wonderful things can happen. So it might be worth considering attempting something out of the ordinary. Read on to find out why it’s good to try new things.
Time Slows Down
A strange thing happens as we get older; time seems to speed up. When we’re children, days and weeks stretch ahead forever. As we grow up, that time seems to compress, and by the time we are in middle age, days go by in a flash. You might think back and wonder what you have done over the past week, month, or even year – and this is because you have stuck to the same routine, so there is no real way to tell one day from the next.
When you try something new, that day will stick in your memory. The more new things you try, the more days will stay with you. The result is that time feels as though it’s slowing down, and you will have many more memories to enjoy. If you can try to do something new every day, your life will become much more exciting and full.
There's nothing wrong with being comfortable. But if your willing to step out of your comfort zone, your could be much more exciting & full. Discover why it is good to try new things. #DoSomething #Adventure

You Will Stimulate Your Brain
One of the best things about trying new things is that your Brain will be stimulated, and studies have shown that a new activity such as skiing or pottery or even preparing for a new activity such as buying a new ski boot bag or looking for old clothes to wear in the pottery studio, can enhance your brainpower. This is especially true when it comes to your creativity.
Every time you are in a new situation, your brain has to work harder, learning how to deal with this new scenario. You will also develop new skills as a result. So your brain is growing and thriving, something that is crucial at all stages of life. The more new things you allow yourself to try, the healthier your brain will be.
You’ll Find Your Sense Of Adventure
Another compelling reason to try new things is that you will find your own unique sense of Adventure, and in doing so, you will overcome any fears you might have had. Fear is just a reaction to anything you are unsure about, anything unknown, and once you know what to expect after trying something new, your fear will disappear.
Once your fear is gone, it will be replaced by a sense of wonder and excitement that will make you feel happy and boost your mood incredibly. It makes no difference if the thing you are doing is big or small, if someone else finds it scary or they wonder why you do; every adventure is your own, and every new thing will benefit you in some way.
