Novelty & Frivolity

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, cozied into our comfortable routines, particularly when we’re spending a lot of time at home. But our brains crave novelty and stimulation! Let’s be creative this month in meeting that need in ways both serious and silly, and see if we can give ourselves a refreshing change of pace (or several)! This challenge offers a chance to build mental resilience and boost your mood.

Habit:

Try something new

Do something different—change your routine!

To Do:

Break out of a dietary rut! (try a new food or beverage)

Treat your body right! (Do something different with your exercise routine, skin care, or hygiene)

Shake up the order! (Do something out of sequence or backwards)

Dress for frivolity! (Wear a costume, fancy outfit, or mismatched clothes to do a mundane task)

Reflection:

This was a fun challenge, and came at a good time. The coldest month of winter was really lightened with this dose of novelty!
