This is one way to get that “hit”. Can you make a game out of it? How can you be different than you were 5 minutes ago? Can you think differently, maybe act differently, or perhaps even feel differently?

What can you think about that will change you, just a tiny bit? Can you look at a subject with more of an open mind? That’s not to say you have to change your mind, just be willing to examine another point of view for a few minutes. Can you think about a person with less judgment and criticism? Can you try to see where they are coming from or maybe figure out reasons they act as they do? Or maybe even entertain the concept that you don’t know everything and maybe some people think the same of you?

An easy way to get started is to just explore the reverse or the opposite of what first comes into your mind when you see or hear something.

It’s a fun way to change and to expand your horizons.
