Don’t try to think outside the box, take your self to where the new thoughts already are.
Cook something completely different or eat at a restaurant that serves a cuisine you’ve never tried.
Take a holiday somewhere you’ve never been.
Listen to a different genre of music for a day.
Read a novel by an author from another culture.
Take a course in something completely unrelated to your area of expertise.
Read/watch the best news and opinion from the media companies on the opposite side of the political spectrum to you.
Try a different kind of workout.
Respectfully visit a different religion’s gathering.
Instead of trying to project your mind to somewhere new, physically take it somewhere new.
In his interview with St Vincent (Spotify, Apple, Overcast), Justin Richmond talked about how he likes to listen to songs sung in languages he doesn’t know because then the voice becomes purely an instrument and the listening experience is more about feeling than understanding.
Happy Thursday

Leave the box 📦 Enter the forest. I just love those words!
To actually get on and take yourself off to that new place, new course and new restaurant is the way. You often hear "I would really like to do this or that" even on relatively easily achieved things but they won't. Step out and do! Thanks for the reminder this morning!
