How do you get yourself to try new things

[The Guru]

Older i get the more i seem to get stuck in my ways. What could help in pushing yourself? This holds true for me right now in even small things like movies/games/music or bigger things like travel, work, friends and family. I can easily break through when something important needs to be done but every day life is on some Groundhog Day shyt for a while now.

My thought process when trying new things is as simple as "Might as well"
I ain't getting any younger and I might as well try some shyt.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I don’t...



but if i do it’s because i read and hang out with people that are different backgrounds or cultures at times.

New things?

I don't. Generally somebody else has to expose me .

Feeling the same way but idk if it's my schedule or am I really becoming this detached. Outside of a couple things, life is better than it's ever been. I'm learning new stuff and thinking at a higher level than ever before, but it also takes the joy out of a lot of regular things now. Sucks

You experience new things in small doses by practice and habit.

It could start very small, by opening up that youtube recommended video or unexpected email. It could start by google searching that one karate move you always wanted to know. (I'm terrible at examples)

Let these new small inquiries build on top of each other as a stepping stone for an entire focus of the new information you learn.

However be mindful that never to take in habits of philosophies that go against your beliefs.

If I can't get hurt or sick why not try it. I don't really need to motivate myself. I've moved to diffedifferent states alone (some without a plan), eaten food I said I would never eat and dated women i never thought I would. I'm still alive and in good health. Life is too short and its too much out there to experience to limit your self

Get drunk. You'll try all kinds of new things than

If it's something new, it gotta be something new that I was interested in and could try it for a grace period so I can find out if it's for me or not.

I don't try "new" things just to say I'm doing it or looking for a change. I'm almost Autistic to keeping rituals and patterns that I find favorable. I'd venture out, but I almost always stick to the same lane and I like that, really.
