And so you shall have it! Desire for change is a great motivator. You don't have to be clear on what it is you'd like, simply that you are about to embark upon a journey. It's really a lot of fun when you don't know where things are going.
Have you ever gotten into your car and started driving with no end destination? I have. One time I left New York late in the evening, hit NJ State Route 17 and didn't look back. This is a road I'd used locally for over 15 years but had no idea where it ended. At 4:30 am I found myself in Hershey, Pennsylvania and later in the afternoon explored the incredible Hershey Gardens.
The next morning landed me in Washington, D. C. I located a heretofore unknown older 1st cousin once removed who was a peace activist and had been banned from the Nixon White House. What fun. Even more surprising, his father was my Great Uncle a family legend who in the late 1920s wrestled a bear and won. The bear's owner refused to pay claiming my Uncle Louie had tickled him.
Another mini Mind Acrobatics exercise:
- Grab a pen and pad of paper.
- Spend 15 minutes writing in pure stream of consciousness.
- Capture every realistic and seemingly outlandish wish and desire you've ever had.
- This is not a "bucket list" but rather a compilation of all that excites you.
- When you're done writing pick one fantasy and create a plan to set it in motion!
Curiosity, a sense of adventure and the realization that life is short and one should make the most of it will empower you to stretch your imagination, kick off the traces and trek out in search of adventure.
