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. I invite you to join me in the discussion and the novelty!

Challenge!

Since embarking on this experiment, I have quickly noticed an improvement in my mood and energy levels, increased enthusiasm about life, an increase in self-confidence, less concern with failure, and a decrease in stress and anxiety.  I'm curious about what regular novelty seeking might do for you!  Come join me by committing to having a week of novel experiences!  If you would be interested in sharing your experiences and thoughts, or writing a guest blog entry, please e-mail me at noveltyexperiment@gmail.com!

As part of my own Novel Experience Experiment, I have created a basic research project about the impact of novelty on peoples' lives.  Please consider helping me by taking a brief survey prior to the start of your 7-day challenge.  A post-test will be emailed to you after you have completed your 7 days of novelty.  Participation in either survey is purely voluntary.
