If you are feeling bored, frustrated, old, tired, stuck – any or all of the above, may I suggest you set a plan to learn some new stuff. Learning new stuff forces new neural pathways through your brain which keeps you younger and healthier. And, yes. you still need to drink lots of water and wear sunscreen if you want to look young and feel healthy.
Artificial intelligence and particularly Chatgpt is engaging all the young smart entrepreneurs I know. My wechat app is blowing up as they share what they or their teams are now doing with it. Unbelievable. You can play with it yourself and use youtube videos to see more. If you are a Vistage Member there are webinars from top speakers and users you can watch. Don’t think you can pass this one by. The applications are universal. Start learning now.
Travel is another way to learn. Consider traveling to a place you never imagined you would visit. I can’t believe how many people I know are going to Dubai. ON PURPOSE! If the never-imagined-place is beyond your budget, maybe go to a part of your city or state you have never visited, or only drove through. I am going to miss CycLAvia in Mid-City Los Angeles today where about 5 miles of a major street are blocked to car traffic so you can bike or walk it with hundreds of others. You see the city in a totally new way.
I just got an electric car – a Hyundai Ionic 5 and between the manuals, the app, and trying to figure out all the ways to charge, where the public chargers are and how to use them, I’m definitely on a new adventure. I’m proud to say I made it solo to Mammoth which has long stretches with no chargers. Getting down to 16 miles as I rolled up to a public charger in Mojave was definitely exciting. The point is you have to keep challenging your brain!
