Learn Something New

Learning something new is a larger commitment than trying something new, but it offers lifelong benefits. Whether you want to learn a language, a new cooking skill, a new hobby or a new sport, learning something new keeps our brains active and our inspiration piqued.

We feel good about ourselves when we can do something we previously couldn’t. We have the opportunity to connect with a new set of people who have learned what we are learning, whether in person, in digital communities, or years later when we can reflect upon it.

Not only is the experience of learning inspiring, the results are fulfilling. Love the Italian language? Learn it and add “Visit Italy” on your Bucket List. Always been inspired by amazing photos? Learn the art of landscape photography and add “Photograph Zion National Park” to your Bucket List.

What would you normally pay someone else to do for you? Learn how to build a WordPress website, fix a leaky faucet, work on your car, make gnocchi, or feng shui your home.

Learn about how things are made, why there are different varietals of wine, read about history or learn how to make a cartoon version of yourself in Adobe Illustrator. Tutorials and information are abundantly at our fingertips, especially on Lynda.com, Duolingo, and YouTube.
