Take a new route on your walk or drive.

“I did exactly the same thing a couple of weeks ago. It feels like I'm on vacation somewhere exotic. The people are totally different. My new route has dog walkers and the kind of locals who have always lived in the area. And lily ponds.”

“It takes me about 8 minutes, one way, to get to the gym from my house. I’ve made the trip 5 days a week for almost 3 years. I sometimes take a different route to get to the gym, but not usually. My usual route had an accident at one of the intersections, so I took one of my detours I occasionally use. After I left the gym, I considered the severity of the accident. I googled the route home and saw there was a route I hadn’t taken before. I decided to try it. It takes about 60 seconds longer, but it is much less travelled. I will now be using this as my every day route home.”
