The Joy Of New Experiences

Over the weekend I had my first experience of axe throwing. I loved it. I learned a new skill and spent time with family and friends.

There was definitely a learning curve, but we had an excellent instructor who had us nailing the targets in no time. As I’ve gotten older, outings like this have become less frequent, and that’s a shame because they are important.

We all need things to look forward to. There’s a joy that comes from learning something new, and doing activities with others keeps relationships strong.

I have plenty of opportunities, but I’m guilty of making excuses. I can always find a reason not to do something. And if you always say no, people stop asking.

I want to change my mindset because I need more real-life engagement with the people I care about. We’re social creatures, after all.

This is why I’m spending less time online. I have a strong desire to do things in the physical world. I feel like I’ve lost something, and I want to get it back.
