The Different Path
Try something you wouldn't normally do.
“Different choices create different lives.”
Why this challenge
Autopilot is powerful because familiar choices become invisible.
By deliberately changing something ordinary, you begin noticing just how much of your life is being decided by habit before you even realize a decision happened.
What you do
Every day, do one ordinary thing differently.
Take another route.
Sit somewhere new.
Order something unfamiliar.
Break one routine.
The change can be very small, but it must be deliberate.
What to notice
What did I do differently today? Why did I choose it? What happened? How did I feel? What did I notice?
