Does anyone else feel like they’ve been trapped in a Groundhog Day loop for the past six months? Without vacations or birthday parties or work events or weddings, every day feels, well, the same.
Routines can be great — but they can also make it hard to feel creative or inspired. So our team has decided to take novelty into our own hands.
We’re disrupting our routines on purpose so that we keep our eyes open to the world around us. We’re taking risks and starting new habits to force ourselves to pay attention.
Because, believe it or not, this is real life. We’ve been in quarantine far too long to keep waiting for things to go back to “normal” before we live our “regular” lives. Today is the day you have — so you might as well make the most of it, quarantine or not.
So here’s a challenge: What can you do to change your perspective today? What risk can you take? What activity can you try? How can you shake up your current routines so that you pay a little bit more attention to things you may not have noticed before?
Change can be hard and disruptive, sure. But it can also be fun.
