Have you been wanting to learn how to mountain bike or cook an Italian meal? Perhaps you’d like to try your hand at poker or maybe you yearn to learn a new language. Regardless of what it is, jot down all of the things that interest you.  Realize that brainstorming isn't about judging ideas or forcing yourself to think in a certain way. Brainstorming is solely about creation.  For now, don’t focus on the practicality of doing a new activity. Just have fun in coming up with a list of ideas! If you’re struggling to come up with ideas, seek the help of a friend. Think of someone you know who likes to try new things. It’s OK to borrow ideas.  Invite a group of friends over and ask them to share some of their favorite past times. Chances are you’ll be inspired by what you hear! Post a message on Facebook and ask for help from your Facebook friends. Websites such as Pinterest are great resources for finding ideas. Do a simple search for, “try something new” and see what comes back.  On Pinterest, for example, there are ideas for couples trips, there are different hairstyle ideas, etc. Be aware that when you do searches online, there may be services that require you to sign up before receiving more information. Know that there are plenty of free ideas online, so don’t feel pressured to join anything unless you really want to. For further inspiration watch the TED Talk by Matt Cutts entitled, Try Something New for 30 Days. Short in length (at only three-and-a-half minutes long); it is extremely encouraging.

Summary:
Make a list of all of the things you’d like to try. Ask friends for suggestions. Look online for potential ideas.
