Last week I went out for a run on a route I know inside out, from my house up to the woods, a little loop then back again.
However this time I made one change, I went at night! The environment I found myself in was alien, as if I’d never ran there before in my life. Instead of going through the motions whilst listening to my podcast I had to tune my senses to the new (pitch black) surroundings.
The point that hit home was simple; a small change to our normal routine can give you a completely new perspective on a situation!
So next time you find yourself going through the motions on a task, whether that’s in the classroom, exercising or shopping, switch up your perspective. You may just find that next great idea or at the least enjoy your task a little more!
