Embracing Openness: Your Ticket to Lifelong Learning
Hello Cupsers 😀,
Let's talk about something super important: openness. Having an open mindset means you're ready to accept new ideas, try out different experiences, and see things from other perspectives. It's all about challenging what you think you know and diving into the unknown with curiosity.
So, why does openness matter?
Picture this: I used to think yoga was just stretching and breathing, nothing special. 😮💨 But one day, a friend dragged me to a class. 🫣 I was skeptical, but I decided to be open-minded and give it a shot. To my surprise, not only did I enjoy it, but it also helped me with stress management and improved my flexibility. If I had stayed closed off, I would have missed out on something that became a crucial part of my routine! 🤩🥳

- Can you share a time when being open to something new made a big difference in your life? What was it, and how did it impact you?
Openness isn't just about trying new activities—it's also about listening to and learning from different viewpoints. Being open in a constantly changing world can help us adapt and grow. So, what are some ways you practice openness? Maybe it's trying a new hobby, exploring a different genre of music, or even having conversations with people who have different opinions.
Let’s hear your stories and insights! What has openness brought into your life?

It seems like your openness to a new experience allowed your quality of life to improve!
I think this is a particularly challenging domain to conquer. I try to remember the times when I actually enjoyed something I dreaded.
I can't say any one experience has been life changing but maybe that will happen someday!

Thank you for your kind words! Embracing new experiences has indeed made a positive impact on my life. I'm hopeful that a truly life-changing moment will come everyone’s way someday too. ☺️

1. Even though I am very opinionated, I am learning how to take middle grounds by listening to both sides before forming own opinion and being non judgementative
2. Growing up as a girl on the autism spectrum, I liked to stay in my own little world with Disney movies. When I got to middle school, it was rough. While in gym class, I played basket ball and discovered that I really liked it. Since then I have fallen in love with that sport and enjoy watching college basket ball.
