In the beginning of this video, I thought it was going to be about saving money, to go to different places around the world, to make life more exciting. Never gave it much thought, to step out side of your back door and just see things in anew light. My husband and I have a beautiful back yard. I have never really sat down and looked at nature closely! And it’s free!! I’m going to start making list of things to do and go see! Thank you!🥰

This is a great idea. I definitely need a list because I’m always saying “I should do that” but when it comes time to do something, I can’t come up with anything that I want to do. Thanks Mel!

My mom had a book filled with Christmas stories from her childhood. One of the stories was called the Penny Walk. It was about 2 girls that went on a walk and at every intersection they would flip a coin to tell them what direction they would go. Heads-right; Tails-left. The girls had a fabulous adventure. I did this once with my kids when they were little. No reason I couldn’t do this as an adult!

I used to do that in college, i LOVE stationary and art supplies so i would research every art supply store near and far, small or big, and make time in my schedule for it, even when i had to commute in public on my way home i would drop by the near stores. And now that i have money and my own car 😂 i find joy in exploring bakeries and cafe shop all by myself ❤❤ i seriously need to go back to this habit especially with all the pressure from work and masters studies.

The timing couldn’t have been more needed. Became an empty nester yesterday and feeling so paralyzed! Heeding this advice starting today!

Listened to this as I drive to try new yoga experience…trapeze yoga. Fun and look forward to practicing something new. A month ago joined two running groups and one is a trail running group. New things means new people and more support and opportunities for fun. So glad I have recognized how wonderful it is to be open. So confidence boosting. Mel has been a huge part of me discovering this. This video is right to the point of what I am doing. ❤

Loved this episode. Being in Oz, and loving to travel each year to northern Australia, this year I couldn’t go. It’s a cold winter and kinda challenging to get motivated. I realised after hearing this just how many places in my own backyard I’ve dismissed as boring. Today I’m heading out, first to tourist info, then taking myself somewhere. With the camera with an unjudgemental curiosity. And going there on every road I’ve rarely driven to get there. Thanks Mel.

I do house sitting as a side hustle and love exploring new neighbourhoods. Cafes, markets, parkland, exercise classes are always on my to-do list. Love from Australia. 🇦🇺
