Day 9 of the I Am Feeling Good Challenge - Experience Newness

It’s the ninth day of the challenge and let’s try something new. I invite you to try something new, different, out of your normal routine. Experience newness. Let your “out of the ordinary” experience be the prompt or subject of your journal entry for today.

Just as we experience a new sunrise that brings about a sense of hope, newness brings can bring good feelings.

How Will Newness Create Good Feelings?

Experiencing something new or out of the ordinary has the power to create a profound sense of joy and excitement. It ignites a spark within us and opens the door to new possibilities. The anticipation and thrill of stepping outside our comfort zone triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. When we engage in novel experiences, our senses become heightened, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment. The feeling of accomplishment that follows is incredibly gratifying, boosting our confidence and self-esteem. Ultimately, these unique encounters broaden our horizons, expand our perspective, and add richness to our lives.

Day 9 Affirmations

Today, I affirm that embracing new experiences will bring me joy, fulfillment, and create a beautiful day.
