Days pass and it feels as though life has turned into a repetitive thing with no end. You feel like you are too comfortable and something different is calling to you. That’s when your mind and your body are wanting something new! Traveling is a great way to help your mind feel energized once again.
Get Out of the Comfort Zone
When you plan on traveling, it’s a wonderful way to get out of your comfort zone. The mundane daily tasks don’t feed the mind. But when you go outside of that, you’re leaving yourself open to more possibilities. If you’re second guessing going on a trip, ask yourself why not?
We tend to make up all kinds of excuses to stay in our comfort zone. I know that for some, creating a list of the pros and cons of traveling to a new place. Then, look over that list and see which of those are your beliefs and which ones are actually true. This will narrow it down for you. Traveling can help you open your eyes to a bigger world and taking a step away from work will help you have a different perspective once you come back. Taking that step can make a big difference in your way of thinking on a project or whatever it is that you’re working on.
New Opportunities Could be Waiting
After finally deciding on traveling, there’s always a possibility that there could be some opportunities awaiting you. For instance, let’s say you meet someone while you’re traveling, and you find out that they work at a business similar to you. You hit it off and find out that you two can work on a project together. Or you go to a new city and just being surrounded by the environment an idea pops into your head that you never thought of before! There are an endless amount of possibilities when you get out of your bubble and do something out of your norm.
Travel with a Curious Mind
Now, something I full heartedly believe in is that when we travel, we should have a curious mind. That means that you look at everything and experience it without judgment. It’s like looking at the world as though you’re a kid. When you start doing this, you gain another perspective, and it helps you to keep an open mind. Don’t let comparisons or judgements rule your thoughts when you can live it in curiosity to experience new things.
Follow that Instinct
I understand that some places may feel unsafe. When you feel like you’re in a bad spot, follow your instinct. That could be a feeling in your gut, or it could be anywhere in your body. Personally, that gut feeling has saved me from many bad situations. Once I felt that instinct kick in, I would evaluate my surroundings and see the safest way to get out of it as quickly as possible. The situation could just be talking with someone, or it could be a dangerous area. So, don’t forget to follow that feeling and trust it!
Feel Rejuvenated for Daily Life
After traveling and taking that much needed step away from work, you’ll feel energized. Sometimes going back to daily routines can be hard. But remember that you’ve gained something from your trip. You now have another way to look at things and you’re able to experience another trip in the future. Enjoy every moment!
Experience Travel Through my Eyes
If you want to get some inspiration or want to learn ways to overcome your limitations, then check out my international bestseller. The Wandering Heart: A Tale of a Misfit Traveling in Life’s Wilderness is loosely based on my traumatic brain injury and how I healed from it. In this book, I travel through the states, to Peru, Bolivia, and then to Sweden. So, you get to experience it all through my eyes along with me working on overcoming a TBI. Write me a review once you get the book! I’d love to hear what you think!
