As humans, we tend to be creatures of habit in many ways.
We can fall into a routine of what we eat, what we watch, who we hang out with, where we go, what we do, etc…
There’s benefit to consistency, and routine, and there’s benefit to expanding our view.
If we get a little too stuck in our ways, we often begin to restrict our own growth by limiting what we are exposed to.
As a self defense instructor, taking soccer lessons may expose a new way to develop power or cue how to generate force in the legs.
Taking a Spanish class may improve the ability to communicate with new people, or discover new ways to transfer knowledge to current students.
Reading a fiction book may spur creativity or expand a viewpoint, that the normal personal development books are unable.
When we fall into the SOPs of our hobbies or careers, we may be missing an incredible opportunity to grow and expand our overall view.
So, step outside your normal box and explore something completely new.
Take a dance class, book a trip you wouldn’t dare in the past, visit new schools/gyms, converse with new people.
See how it changes your view, your mindset, and your methods.
Go forth and be awesome! 😎
