This I Believe--Lexi Hall

Our everyday life can become a routine if we allow it. Every day, we tend to go through the motions. We get up, get ready, leave for school or work, come back home, and repeat the process the next day. Something that I have realized is the need to add new things to my life. It is easy to become complacent when we are not trying new things. Old gets boring quickly and no one wants their life to become stagnant. This is why I find it important to try something I have never done before as often as possible. 

During this week out of school it has been hard to remain at home as much as possible because I would rather be hanging out with friends or going on road trips to places I have never been before. I enjoy traveling to new places and trying new things. Hiking is something I have never done much of in the past, but this year I have realized it is something that I enjoy doing. I have tried to make it something I do now as often as I can. Not only does hiking give me exercise, but it gives me a change of scenery. I get to see the beauty of waterfalls, mountains, sunsets, and everything else in nature. It also allows me to travel to new places, which opens the door for me to seek new adventures. If I would have never tried something new I would have never found the love for hiking that I have grown to have.

Trying out new things is fun and it keeps life interesting. Life is too precious to not make the most of what we have of it. We need to get up and do something that we have never done before. Go on that hike, buy that plane ticket, train for a 5k, attend a major league baseball game, or whatever it may look like for your life. Not only will it bring joy to your day, but it will also create memories that you will never forget.
