Staying Curious is a Great Way to Stay Young
People who stay young at heart try new things regularly, or at least semi-regularly. When was the last time you did something new? Something you’ve never tried before? Was it recently or so long ago you can hardly recall? Or maybe it was somewhere in between. Trying new things benefits you both physically and psychologically. It makes you feel good, expands your horizons, and lets you know that you’re alive. Plus, the endorphins make you happy. Now, don’t think this is suggesting that you should run out and try skydiving or bungee jumping. If you want to do those things and are healthy enough for them, good for you. Go for it. Most people prefer more sedate (and safer) past times, and they also count for keeping you young at heart. Something as mundane as trying a new restaurant every couple of months can go a long way towards keeping you young at heart. Trying a new type of food is another step up on the scale. The types of new things you can try for this exercise are endless. Are there still things you want to learn? Look into taking classes at your local lifetime learning center or senior center. They offer a variety of low-cost and even free classes for older adults.
