There is magic that awaits each and every one of us. When we go about our days in carved out routines, it is easy to miss all that life has to offer. We can consciously be mindful of this and begin to cultivate an awareness, a sense of gratitude for little things like the veins in a leaf or the glimmer of sunshine on a river we pass every day. New places and experiences have a way of doing this exponentially. When we are displaced from our known reality, our awareness becomes heightened and our openness to awe is more natural and flowing. Finding ways to break our patterns also allows this flow. I call it pattern glitching. While traveling to a new country will do this, there are many ways to do it in our every day. We could take a new route to work, go on a different walk than we usually do, shop at a different grocery store, eat dinner in a different room than usual. These small changes allow new insight to come in. Enjoy!
