Go somewhere cool ...

Yes I do know we're still in a credit crunch situation ... but really, have a try going somewhere cool ...


Okay, not necessarily the Mojave Desert or the Grand Canyon ... but doing something different or going somewhere new will most likely inspire you, refresh you, prompt new hope and ideas ... It doesn't always have to be expensive - Save up first then check out last minute offers to unusual places. [Thomsons / Thomas Cook have some great offers] http://www.thomascook.com/holidays/city-breaks/

Doing something different will change your conversation. It could even change your perception of everyday goings-on. You might meet new people along the way ... the possibilities are endless ... 

Do something new - it doesn't have to be expensive:

Go to a beach.
Find a new village.
Join a Library ... yes you did read that correctly - there are some still around.
Swap your week on a beach for a culture holiday [you can still do this in the summer].
Visit the opposite side of the country to where you live. 
Join a running, walking, tennis club or a local team sport.

Challenge yourself to meet new people. Not in a change-your-friends, work colleagues or business contacts way - try to make some genuine connections with casual acquaintances or meet members at a new club.

Have a few friends round [not too many] - ask each one to bring one friend - that way you'll all get to meet each other.

If you're out for supper - or cooking for friends, change seats after the main course - get to know the people who usually sit at the other end of the table.

[Remember to be aware and keep yourself safe at all times]

Meanwhile, get saving and book that trip to the Mojave Desert ...
