Here is me in 2019 in the Greenwich Steiner School play. I am not into #performing and peed myself several times before the start of the #play, litteraly. But I wanted to feel what #actors feel when they perform. And I loved it, not that I am going on the #stage anytime soon. It was #fun, #exciting, learned #new things and I joined adult drama classes as a result of it, for a while. And I am sure all of you have similar stories. As humans, we are here because we dared to cross continents, jumped into the unknown, and had the #curiosity to do it. Don't get me wrong; I love a good old ritual, and even a good old story told many times can bring me joy (depending on the story ). But what makes me get up in the morning with a spring in my step (almost ) excites and inspires me the most is when I experience something new. I mean, this past year, we had to experience new things, some more unpleasant than others. I feel we also had to shrink our worlds and had much fewer opportunities to explore, get adventurous, and grow joyfully. Yes, I agree, we grow through hardship, but I am talking about learning through new #experiences that we #consciously choose to try out, not imposed by governments, fears, and viruses. So I invite you to do that. Consciously try new things, because:
we grow through them
we learn something new about ourselves and others
we create new stories to share with the world
life is too short to be bored
last year just proved that we need to appreciate and enjoy life to the max more than ever
the opposite is not very sexy or appealing, trust me
your kids/partners will be grateful for it
we need to get comfortable again in taking risks
being comfortable is not all there is to life
Here is some inspiration:
🍃 watch me trying something new here
🍃 join one of my online events coming up here
🍃 if you live in Greenwich area, join ⭐ The Monday Club ⭐ at The Conservatoire, opening on the 17th of May.
Love, Nora
