THE ART OF
NOW How to appreciate where you are
One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things. - HENRY MILLER
Sure we’re busy people, but it’s an undeniable fact: being mindful and appreciating where you are can make you happier. So whether you’re somewhere new or somewhere known, we wrote this little guide for you, to help you feel more in tune with yourself, see things from a new perspective and do something that excites you. Go on.
SOMEWHERE NEW
Listen to the local radio, no matter what language it’s in
Find something that makes you laugh. Out loud.
Do yoga. [ClichĂŠd but true.]
Give yourself alone time.
FEEL
I N T U N E W I T H YO U R S E L F
SOMEWHERE KNOWN
Take your headphones out. Tell someone—genuinely—to have a nice day. Do something you wouldn’t normally do alone, alone. Close your eyes for a sec and notice what you feel, smell, taste and hear.
SOMEWHERE NEW
Climb to the highest point possible and try and find where you just were. Catch the train to the end of the line and explore the neighborhood there. Tell a Snapchat story about where you are. Find a spot and do a full 360, slowly. Mentally take note of everything.
SEE FROM A NEW PERSPECTIVE
SOMEWHERE KNOWN
Buy a postcard, write down what you see and send it.
Go the super long, scenic route —and take your time.
Take a 5am walk.
Snap a picture of something upside down.
DO
SOMEWHERE NEW
Plan just one thing and let the rest fall to chance. Find a favorite coffee shop + get to know the staff. Read a novel about the place you’re going to visit. Eat something you’ve never seen before.
