A new restaurant, a new hiking trail, a new city. I've found that I find more pleasure in things of that nature than a new pair of shoes, a new TV, etc. Perhaps that provides some insight into why I want to move to a new city. :)</p> As opposed to new things…I'd like you to open yourself to new experiences, places.

which sort of validates your theory that to achieve internal harmony, you dont necessarily need new, perhaps what you need is the ability to repurpose old for 'new' things ? as in using old knowledge to develop/solve new problems ?
