One thing that I was always known for is to do the same thing that I was always comfortable with doing, and being hesitant to try different things.
Also, thinking about things in one absolute way, which I found out was not the way that I should be. Of course, you have your own opinions about life, styles, or people, but if you expand the way you think about things, the benefits can be life changing. It opens up your mind to another world of things that you never knew that you could love.
Here are a few ways that you could expand your mind, that could have a great effect on your future.
1. Try a new food or restaurant
2. Travel somewhere new
3. Incorporate fitness and yoga into your routine
Many people say that yoga has a great effect on people by opening their minds.
4. Put down your phone, and engage in reality
5. Talk to someone different than you
If you are always around the same type of people, you tend to not be as mindful of people who are different. You can learn many things from people who have different qualities than you do.
6. Don't stress about the small things
Coming from someone who stresses about literally EVERYTHING, I have found out that it is so much easier to not let things that don't really matter in the long run affect you.
