I hinted at this goal in the last post, about learning new things…I also want to experience new things in 2025.

So maybe that’s making a new kind of Instagram Reel, which is the experience where I referenced this goal in the last post…

…But it’s obviously a lot more than just that.

I’m a big learner by doing, so these two goals definitely go hand-in-hand.

Sometimes something could go in both categories and I’m going to have to choose which goal I’m meeting. But that’s nice because these are very achievable goals for me.

They’re also companion goals, I guess, which is why I figured I’d better write about this one right away or else in a week I’d forget about what I wrote for the learning goal and repeat myself all over again.

Don’t expect me to go skydiving in 2025.

I’m not going to do stuff I have no desire to do just because I need to experience something new.

But, certainly if I’m presented with an opportunity that I otherwise wouldn’t take, maybe I’ll take that road whereas other times I might have hesitated.

Or maybe I’ll look at a new situation that I have to face with no choice and, even if it’s somewhat undesirable, approach it with an open mind knowing that I’m going to write about it.

This is not going to be a redux of ‘365 New Things in 2013’ (link above), where sometimes I felt myself forcing things into the category of ‘this is new to me!’ just to fill the days of the calendar.

But it is going to be an opportunity to do some of the things again that I loved most about that little experiment.

So, stay tuned for me trying new things, and likely learning new things as a result. We’ll find out together how I end up differentiating between the two.
