How do you push yourself to try new things ?

Question

I am trying to get myself to try new things that i would normally consider myself capable of doing. The problem is that i wont let myself take the risk to do these things. Is it a bad idea to do things that are you know you might not be good at... Im a reserved person.. so i need some motivation to push me to get involved and experience new things.... I was thinking about taking an acting class or taking a public speeking class.. but im worried that i wont be successful....

Answer 1

Learning new things is all trial and error and the best part of that is knowing that when you keep doing the same thing over and over you will get better and better at it. Life is too short to be unhappy. Take care Heather

Answer 2

Get a friend to go along, talk yourself through each step, don't think about it so much - just do it, leap before analyzing, pick a time and date and just go for it and don't let yourself back out.
Life is for living and experiencing new things. You will grow to regret the time spent NOT doing the things you want to or are interested in. Even if you fail at something, at least you tried and learned something about yourself.
