Summer trips
Oh, hi friends!
A writer friend recently told me he’s taking courses at a local art college. “A shift from narrative thinking to visual thinking,” he said.
An experienced runner friend is experimenting by cutting back the miles and lifting weights multiple times a week.
This led me to think about the benefits of going wider, not deeper.
Which path lies adjacent to the one you’ve been on?
How might it benefit you?
What might you learn?
And when will you take your first step?
Look for bridges and cross as many as you can.
When you reach a dead-end or get lost, look for a bridge. There’s one in every town. Bridges connect where you are with where you want to go next. Sure, some of them look scary, but you can’t move forward unless you cross. Trust that the bridge will hold you.
Mmm, I connected with Mel Robbins’s latest newsletter about how life is one big road trip. And appreciated her optimistic POV: Look for bridges and cross as many as you can.
My friend Tory Flack sent me this site Do Every Day because she thought it was something I’d be into. SHE WAS CORRECT.
It’s a simple log for tracking one thing you want to do every day.
You can make yours public if you’d like (here’s mine — not sure why all my possible usernames with Cutruzzula were taken, because there really aren’t that many of us, but I took a page out of the Cotti playbook).
Plus, you can follow friends. I wanted to share in case your gosling streaks continue, or if you’re as tired as I am of looking at your Google Calendar.
Sometimes different is better. You know?
Do you like these daily emails? Please share with a friend!
You can also support my work by checking out my motivational journal, Do It For Yourself, designed to guide you through your creative and work projects, and my upcoming journal Do It Today, which encourages you to find time for the things that matter most to you.
Thanks, as always, for reading.
Love, Kara
