We often make goals to “try new things” or “be more spontaneous” but then do neither. Last year I kept a list of all the new things I tried to see how much I’m trying/learning/growing/etc. Considering the year was weird thanks to covid, I’m quite proud of myself for the things I tried!
Here are some of the new things I got around to:
(Business: this was the year to “pivot” and try new things! Covid changed the way a lot of people do business and I enjoyed exploring new ways to grow mine.)
Joined a few different networking groups (I was able to keep this up all year and it was a great source of motivation and accountability)
Started incorporating videos of myself in my instagram stories (I read an article that talked about how we are overloaded with images whereas videos make us pause because it’s a break in the overload)
Did a virtual interview with Michele Mateus Photography (see her website here).
Held my first instagram sale
Participated as an artist in the New West Cultural Crawl (October)
(Personal)
Started yoga (In January, I bought a yoga pass to work on strength and flexibility. Only used it until March but worth it!)
Tried a new fitness class (Orange Theory - this happened in January and I loved it! This is my usual style of workout)
Tried a float tank (After Orange Theory I tried a float tank. This was weird but also relaxing. I can see why people love it)
Bought a yellow sweater (I NEVER wear yellow but I was influenced by Jen Pistor - see her blog here)
What about you? Is there anything new you got around to trying in 2020? Is there anything new you’d like to try in 2021?
