Hi, dear friends. In this week's tip, let's turn to the power of curiosity now. Dr. Todd Kashtan is one of the leading researchers of curiosity. He studied the power of engaging in new activities and how significantly it boosts our creativity and well being. So try something new today. Maybe it's opening up and finding a new book. Maybe it's trying on a dish at the restaurant you go to for lunch. Maybe it's trying a new route to work. When we continuously break up our routine, our pattern ways of doing things, our brain and our mind become stimulated and eager to explore. The second way is to actually start asking questions again. As children, we ask so many questions, but our schools and workplaces beat the questions out of us. Let's become and harness that childlike curiosity that still lives in us. Curiosity filled with the desire to know more about the world around the people around us, and even about our own beliefs and mindsets through which we see the world. When we take a genuine interest in getting to know our surroundings and those who inhabit it with us, we significantly increase our connection to them. And we can start to cultivate joy.
