“The one who falls and gets up is stronger than the one who never tried. Do not fear failure but rather fear not trying.”  ― Roy T. Bennett


Trying something new may:
-Increase your self-confidence 
-Open doors to enlightening experiences
-Improve your memory, mood and motivation
-Increase your adaptability and agility
-Also, when we experience something new and like it, our brain triggers a release of dopamine. 


Why is it hard to try new things?
-Humans are often afraid of the unknown. 
-Familiar things are more comfortable and easier.
-Trying new things requires a lot of effort and courage. 


Amy & Kat want to do a “Trying Is Cool” challenge!! Are you in??

Some ideas of things to try:
Bungee jumping 
Improv class 
Hip hop dance class 
Pottery class
Any new habit (daily journal, alarm, meditation)
Going somewhere alone 
A tik tok dance
Cooking/baking (host a cooking night at house?)
Cryotherapy 
Murder mystery party
New book 

Arthur Ashe says: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” 

Palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware recorded the top 5 regrets she heard from her patients as she cared for them at the end of life:
•"I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
•"I wish I hadn't worked so hard."
•"I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings."
•"I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends."
•"I wish that I had let myself be happier."

Feeling Things with Amy & Kat is a podcast for anyone who’s ever had feelings—or wants to. Hosted by Amy Brown and therapist Kat Van Buren, this is a space where nothing is off-limits. From deep reflections on childhood to pop culture obsessions to what’s happening in the world, all feelings deserve a seat at the table—big, small, awkward, joyful, confusing, and everything in between. At its core, it’s real friends having real conversations about real feelings. Some episodes go deep, some stay light, but all are rooted in curiosity, honesty, and connection. In a world that moves fast, sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is pause... and feel things.
