If you are doing a lot of meditation, try going to the gym to lift weights.
If you are doing a lot of introverted activities, try going to a big rock concert and melding with the crowd.
If you are very busy, try slowing it way, way down: cutting everything out of your scheduling, and just hanging out at home.
If you are usually very soft and feminine, trying being very assertive, tough, and masculine for a day.
The key is, to discern what your behavior and habits are most of the time, and then to do something absolutely opposite.
Try something that is not just new, but entirely different from what you normally do. Especially, try something that you are not good at: that is not natural for you, where you have to try and approach this new thing with beginner’s mind.
When we try new things, when we break out of routines and routine ways of being, we allow ourselves to expand in unprecedented ways.
We all have many parts, many ways of being. Allow yourself to inhabit more of who you really are.
