Sunday Boxed In
We’ve all heard the phrase “Think out of the box”. This
directive is usually given when one is trying to come up with some creative
solution or project. But thinking out of the box could serve another purpose.
We are all creatures of habit, and we tend to inhabit
comfortable, routine “boxes”. That’s okay, up to a point. But when we begin
feeling “boxed in” or unmotivated it is time to step out of the box – at least
for a little while.
This stepping out can happen in many different ways, and I’m
not talking about making any big changes or doing great big things – just little
ones. Drive to work a different way, read a book or see a movie in a genre you
haven’t explored. Attend an event and meet new people. Anything that makes you
aware of a world different than your own. Human beings are invigorated by new
things.
This is especially important for young people who simply
haven’t lived long enough to experience lots of different things. So for them
even vicarious experiences (like good books, movies, or conversations) can open
the door to new ways of thinking, feeling or being.
Step out!
