Bring Back Creativity By Changing Your Route
How to have joy in your days
“We’re not lost. We’re just headed somewhere different.”
― Emily X.R. Pan, The Astonishing Color of After
This past weekend we had the opportunity of experiencing a different neighborhood. A dear friend of ours asked us to look in on her cat for the weekend.
She lives in a condominium in Portland, whereas we are out in the suburbs. It is a different world downtown, one that sparks creativity and curiosity.
It felt as if we were in a slightly different universe for three days, and it made my spirit feel very expansive.
On my 100-day journey exploring routines, habits, and creativity, this experience helped me step out of my comfort zone and into something new.
The part I liked best about being there was walking everywhere. It reminded me of the summer of 2019 when we were in Japan. Everything was a short walk or quick train ride away. Most of the time, there was no need for a car.
It helped me think of ways in which I could walk more in our neighborhood. It is true that in our area stores and services are further away.
