Power of Novelty in Anti-Aging

I spent a lot of time on the road for my business. It’s tiring sometimes but overall, this is an amazing life and one I am addicted to. I think this is one of the factors for me that have enabled me to keep myself on top of the ever changing world of technology and business. 

GritCult said this best: 

“As I get older. I realise how important it is to be around novelty stimuli. New music, new movies. New places. 

Constantly exploring and never stopping is I think the key to staying creating and the key to staying mentally young. 

As people age. They become stiff physically and mentally. It requires actual effort to go out of your way to keep exploring and keeping up that adventure spirit. Because it is extremely easy to fall into a pattern and have the years zoom past.”

Probably why I love traveling so much. Or maybe why I need it. SF is awesome and it is good to have family time and a routine. But after 4 weeks on the ground I feel like I am rotting. Even if I am busy, meeting people, reading, listening to podcasts, I find my mind slipping into remote control. I need a new environment to jar me out of it.

So if you find yourself slowing down physically or mentally. Or just need new ideas. Travel. Go to another city. Go to another state or another country. It’s a quick & very effective boost for your brain. Travel is a cheat code.
