Change

I learned that changing things can expand your thinking. I agree that being in the same environment, or same routine can become comfortable when you can easily get used to it. It would be insane to expect anything different than what you've always received without change. To make my brain more uncomfortable, I can go places I don't normally go, and do things I don't normally do. I often run to nature when I want to get away. I believe being around interesting people is a great thing, because they are, a lot of the time, spontaneous. This breaks cycle, or expected routine of that person, bringing "newness" to the table.
