“Oftentimes we are on automatic pilot to the degree that we look back and have no recollection of the process of getting up and going out of the door. In this way we lose the moments that make up our life and once lost, they are gone forever. By paying attention to these regular activities, we can reclaim the lost minutes of our day, and by connecting with our experience during these activities, we can connect more deeply with our life.”
– Anna Black in ‘Living in the moment’
Your Day 25 Making Time challenge:
For 25 minutes… take a ride on a bus or a train to somewhere you have never been
Exploration ignites excitement and curiosity in our souls. Sometimes we get so used to our daily routines and immediate surroundings that we forget there’s a whole world full of different people, places and cultures out there. That’s why taking a holiday abroad or having a weekend away is so fun and exciting; it broadens your horizons, helps you get unstuck and reminds you that you’re free to move in new directions.
Even taking time out to visit somewhere new in your local area can do wonders for your soul. It’s an opportunity to learn, expand your awareness and awaken that curious child inside you.
So today, you’re invited to take a break from your every day life and explore your surroundings. Hop on a bus or a train and spend 25 minutes finding your way to a nearby place you’ve never been to before.
