This week's "anti-boredom" tip is...try something new!

Variety is the spice of life! While a routine can feel safe and comforting, it can also lead to a lack of motivation. Our minds aren’t challenged by monotony—trying something new from time to time stimulates the brain in ways that doing the same old predictable things cannot.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:
• Visit somewhere you’ve never been (a new-to-you park, restaurant, store, neighborhood, church, etc.)
• Learn something new by taking a class (in person or online)
• Try an activity you’ve never engaged in

Even small steps outside of your comfort zone can have a big impact on fighting boredom:
• Make a small change to your daily routine
• Find a new way to do something familiar
• Try a food you’ve never eaten before
