Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore.

I'm going to give you the best reason today to try new things.

This is perhaps the best reason, apart from of course the fun and joy of novelty and having new experiences.

This is such a powerful reason to travel, to seek out new restaurants, to go on even staycations, to put yourself

in unfamiliar settings. Think about it, right? It's a bit like that old quote. I believe it was from

Robin Sharma saying, don't live the same year every year for 75 years and call it a life. Right, we're not meant to just have our day to day be the same over and over again. Yes, there's routine. Yes, there's behind the scenes. Yes, we have to eat, work, take care of our families, take care of our homes, all the things, yes.

And, and, there is space for more. I do know people who will have the same one or two week

vacations every year, right? That's where they'll put their money, it's where they'll put their time off, and look, there's nothing wrong with that.

But is it costing you this?

When you seek out new experiences, new places, new people, new environments, you expand time. Time expands. Think about it. What easier for you to recall in detail? The last three years of your life day to day or that trip that you took in the last three years or those two trips where you went to different places, maybe even just so four or five days each.

Which can you remember more vividly in more detail?

Is it the 350 days each year? Or is it those breaks, those weeks away, that time spent in a completely new

setting that you remember?

It opens up your world, it opens up your mind. When you are in a new setting too, your senses are heightened.

Right, I swear to God, like you're living in your house right now, I am too. I haven't even looked at the painting on the wall or the plant. I haven't even seen them in a couple of years, right? I walk past them, they're always there, but do I see it?

Contrast to going to perhaps a foreign country where the language is different,

the smells are different, the people are different,

the language, the food, everything is different, the buildings, the architecture, the weather.

When you immerse yourself in new experiences, it expands time because it expands your life.

And I think we know right that a good life isn't measured by years,

isn't measured by how long exactly we've been here.

It's what we do with it, it's how we spend our time, it's how we immerse ourselves in our lives.
