Rec'd on 🌀 getting out of your comfort zone

Do you feel like you're getting a good variety of new experiences?

In my experience, life moves by very fast when I get into routines. Do you like your current routines? Do you have any personal goals you'd like to achieve that new experiences could help with?

I don’t like my current routine, so I’ve been making a lot of changes. I know I want and need new experiences, but I struggle to figure out which ones are actually right for me. Lately, I’ve realized that what I truly want isn’t so much about pushing myself externally but about feeling at peace with solitude—being comfortable with who I am rather than trying to grow from the outside in. But i still feel guilty, as if i were going to regret not “doing enough”. Does that make sense?

Proximity and Frequency

I physically get closer to things I want to experience. I can't learn to sail, for example, if I'm no where near boats, preferably ON one, although within visibility is measurable improvement. Same with how often I engage with that thing. Once a year becomes once a month at worst, and at best daily (or your smallest frequency of choice.) Again, this is a quantifiable thing I can reflect on and change. Pseudo-scientific way I have motivated myself to get to experience things I wanted. Getting involved in internet startups (don't judge), learning to sail, finding musical collab projects etc. I'm a simple man, so a simple rubric like this is effective for me, hope it's at least thought provoking for you.

When I stopped to look

I allow myself to move through ny life at breakneck speed in order to get to the next “thing”— whether thats a job, life stage, relationship, goal, etc.. i have been doing this since I was 15. It wasn’t until this last summer/fall that I stopped to look around at the life I had built and fully feel everything! I enrolled in a grad program 2 years ago, at the encouragement of my partner, and this past fall I really started to see myself in this career. I feel energized by my work and research, I feel cared for by my department. I feel like a fulfilling career is awaiting me, yet I am taking the time to feel settled in my current service job and internship, careful not to rush past the mundanity and sweetness of my life now. I have everything ahead of me, truly what is my hurry?

Be more open to experiences

Even if something comes into my mind as a flying thought I act upon it. The other day I went to a rifle range because I wanted to know how to shoot a gun (idk man just in case). I drove like an hour and a half to the club, bandwagoned some friends as well. I don't think it's just about what's available—it's also about seeking it actively. If you wanna do pottery you find a pottery place, or find something similar, or D.I.Y it at home (some how....if the will is big enough). Anyway, I think "stuff to do" for me has to challenge me in someway. And I'm not talking bout climing Everest. It can just be as simple as something out of my "norm".
