STEP 1: Take note of how your normal routine takes you from Point A to Point B and what you see every day. Consider where you find beauty or comfort, or places you find to be either intriguing or predictable.
STEP 2: Choose to explore a new area – Have you ever wondered what was down that street or maybe what’s on top of that hill or behind that building? Now is your chance to explore what’s right around the corner. Curiosity makes life interesting and can be rewarding when we get answers to our questions.
STEP 3: Choose your route - This can be either planned or spontaneous but choose to take action today and take a different route home. It may not be the quickest way, but that’s okay. Remember to pay attention to what you are seeing—be aware of what intrigues you and sparks further curiosity. Make a note of what you see that surprised you or that you were unaware of. Allow this to be an organic experience and go in whatever direction feels most natural or compelling. You might be surprised at the natural beauty of a road you pass every day or may stumble upon a new park you never knew existed.
STEP 4: Share your experiences with a friend – “Hey, were you aware that just over there is ____?” This person might also be looking to explore a new area or better yet, they might have some secret spots to share with you.
