by Kimberly Danger
As moms, we are sometimes so caught up in the groove of our everyday life that we get stuck in a rut. Trying something new is a great way to nurture yourself, improve your outlook, and develop confidence. Here are some quick, easy ways to gain a new perspective on life:
- Invite a new friend over for coffee
- Visit a new place in your town
- Cultivate a new hobby
- Organize a mommy group or playgroup
- Try out some new recipes
- Check out some foreign language tapes at your library -- you and your kids can learn together
- Write a letter to an old friend you haven't seen in a while
- Try a new hairstyle
- Rearrange your furniture
- Volunteer at a local charity
- At the grocery store, buy new brands of toothpaste, cereal, etc.
- Go to bed and get up an hour earlier
- Go out for ice cream and try a new flavor
- Take your kids for a walk instead of watching TV
- Give everyone you come into contact with a sincere compliment
- Play "tourist" in a nearby town
- Buy a magazine you've never read before (better yet, check it out at the library)
- Write your husband a love note and slip it into his briefcase before he leaves for work in the morning
- Bring cookies to a neighbor
- Join a new club
- Wear an unusual outfit
- Take a different route home
- Teach your kids a new game
- Start a new exercise program
- Do something that scares you
