It’s easy to get stuck in our familiar, comfortable patterns – especially given the challenges that 2020 presented! When we are stressed, we tend to stick to what we know to avoid additional anxiety and stress.

So, this year, it might be exciting and life-giving to re-open your life to new things. It doesn’t have to be a huge thing. Here are some ideas:

• When travel is possible again, go someplace new.
• Hike a new trail.
• Try a new recipe.
• Read a new author or in a new genre.
• Go to (or get takeout from) a new local restaurant.
• Join a new book club.
• Attend or stream a service from a new church.
• Go to a festival from an unfamiliar culture.
