STEP 1: Expand your horizons. Go to an art festival, museum, concert or something out of the ordinary to meet new people, gain different perspectives and find an appreciation, if not an interest, in new things. Google your city’s calendar of events to see what’s happening nearby.
STEP 2: Decide on a couple of things to attend this month and ask some friends to go with you. Consider posting on social media to see who else is attending. You might be surprised who has similar interests as you. Don’t be afraid to go alone, or even with one other friend/spouse. The less people you go with, the more likely you’ll be to push yourself to meet new people.
STEP 3: If it’s a new event that you are unfamiliar with, do a little research beforehand to enrich your experience. Look on Facebook to see if there is an event page and potentially connect with others who are also planning to attend.
STEP 4: Enjoy branching out locally. You might meet some new friends and find some newfound interests.
