Is variety really the spice of life? I am going to try answering this question, and more, by committing myself to having, (at least), one brand new experience a day for the next year! Through this experiment, I will be looking to see the ways that 365 days of novel experiences might change me and affect my life. This blog will tell the story of each of these experiences and will also document my observations, ponderings and thoughts. Photos and stories about my two adorable babies are an additional bonus!
In my day job, I am a psychotherapist with a particular interest in Positive Psychology, or the study of how to have a happy and satisfying life. I am also a complete nerd and research junkie. To get my fix, I will be reviewing the current research on novelty and novelty seeking and will be posting my findings and thoughts in "The Nerd's Corner."

My name is Christy and I am a novelty seeker! I am also a wife, mother, psychotherapist and business owner. I've recently traded my travel and education-filled younger days for diaper duty and domestic bliss and have decided to learn how to fulfill my need for novelty within the constraints of my new, (and wonderful), life! Thus, the Novel Experience Experiment was born!In my day job, I am a psychotherapist with a particular interest in Positive Psychology, or the study of how to have a happy and satisfying life.
