Our brains are designed to absorb and adapt to new information throughout our whole lives. Learning something new can also give us joy, as can sharing the things we’ve learned with others.
Learn something you don’t know about your hometown or local area.
Write a bucket list – then try something you have always wanted to do!
Learn the local myths and legends from your area.
Start learning a musical instrument.
Find and try out a new recipe.
Start doing quizzes – online or with a group of friends.
Make a list and try to read one new thing a month - borrow the books from your local library?
Put your hand up for a new challenge/training in your workplace to broaden your knowledge.
Learn a new skill – from learning how to change a tyre to how to care for pot plants.
Sign up for that course. Take on a new responsibility. Fix a bike. Learn a new language. Learn to play an instrument or how to cook your favourite food.
Set a goal. Achieve a goal. Try something fun. Learning can involve any manner of subjects, not just structured educational courses. Learning can be social as you may make new friends as well as new skills.
