“I always wanted to learn the guitar. Maybe THIS summer.”Or…maybe not.It’s a shame how quickly we dismiss our heartfelt dreams and relegate them to the “someday” bucket list. Why is that? We have many reasonable-sounding excuses: work is hectic, there’s never enough time, the kids, the spouse, the Facebook (smiley face), etc.Reasonable, sure.

Then we wonder why we feel bored and stagnant in our lives! This summer, lose the excuses and set your sights on something more fun and fulfilling.A commitment to learning is a commitment to your own brave evolution and improvement. Summer is the perfect time to give yourself the gift of a new hobby, skill, or activity that you’ve always been curious about. The possibilities are endless!Consider gourmet cooking, speaking a foreign language, guitar, singing, painting, sculpting, photography, making films, writing stories, running, surfing, tennis, biking, golf, swimming, learning yoga, scuba diving certification, fishing, sailing, juggling, swing dancing, learn to DJ with real records, become a drink mixologist, water ski, make jewelry.Surprise yourself! Impress yourself. Don’t wait until the summer is over to accept this awesome challenge. 5 Steps to Learning Something New1) BrainstormWrite down all the activities, skills, or abilities you wished you had time to do or you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t.
