There is nothing better than traveling. They help to see the world from a different angle, to discover something new, and even change their outlook. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to leave the city: work, family, no money - there can be many reasons.
However, this does not mean that people squeezed within its obligations, can not develop the consciousness of the traveler, and have a new, exciting experience in the city.
What is a journey? This new place, meeting new people, learning foreign culture, new colors, tastes and smells. When you first find yourself in a new place, you are not immersed in his thoughts, as often happens in a familiar location. You are very focused, look at the world with wide eyes and perceive it as a child - in the fullness of the present moment.
Certainly these feelings familiar to all travelers and for those who have ever traveled outside of his hometown.
But who said that you can not experience this feeling every day, not just when you are away in another city or country? This means out of the house, rather than pants sit in front of TV or stuck in a smartphone screen, then fall in love with the people in themselves and in life.
Here are six ways to become a traveler, without leaving his native city:
1. Meet New People
When people live a long time in one place, they often deal with the same friends and acquaintances, neighbors and relatives, forgetting that even around so many wonderful people.
Meet new people - it's one of the most exciting and fun trip components. If you feel that the city is left of interesting people, you are greatly mistaken. You can not imagine how many interesting, cool and just great people every day pass you travel with you on public transport, even live next door.
Every new friend something brings into your life, even if you talk to him once, and would never see again.
Interesting story, a new view of the world, that you may find common friends or interests. This could be the beginning or end of friendship farewell to the thought, "What a asshole?", But in any case it will be interesting.
2. Dive into fellowship with friends
Perhaps you've noticed that talking to strangers is often deeper and frankly, than talking with friends. For example, we can recall the conversations in trains, when you are dealing with a stranger, to pour out his soul, and the next day to leave for ever.
Why so? At this time, do not you think, what they thought of you, do not limit yourself in anything, do not try to show his mask.
Friends often try to prove their status as a result disappears frankness and voltage appears.
Another reason why the surface of communication - you will always "do something" with your friends. See a movie, go to a club or bar. What fellowship here? Maximum - exchange a few words.
Try to spend time with the person for a real, warm conversation, when nothing shy to tell. If you do not understand, what are friends?
3. Arrange a meeting with yourself
If you are traveling to other cities or countries, that's fine - dine in the cafe alone, but in their own city, few people go there alone.
Why not try? Many people say they are embarrassed to go to different places in solitude because of them think that they alone and nobody needs, but in fact no one at all about anybody does not think, and if they thought a moment, then immediately forgets.
Sometimes, to be alone with a very necessary, important and useful. No meaningless chatter that distracts you from the perception of the world - there is only you and the world. Feelings will be completely different. For example, the conversation you can not even notice the taste of the dish, but alone will experience all its shades.
4. Try new foods
Every weekend you go to the same restaurant, holiday dates - in the other, every week on your desk at home is the same food that everyone is happy. How can you not get bored? Try new things.
Opened a new restaurant - great, would not go why? On the Internet, thousands of recipes, dishes of other nations, exotic dishes, and for the most part do not need any special spices and ingredients, so that everything can be found in a supermarket near the house. Try to prepare, adapt to their tastes, find a new - all this leaves a fresh outlook on life.
5. Try yourself in everything
We often think to himself: "I am not the man who dances" or "Drawing - not mine." If you've never tried, you can not say your or not. Try everything, and, moreover, from different areas. Just do not give up right away, try at least twice.
Often after the first time your experience can be very inconsistent. For example, on the one hand you have always told myself that it was "not your", and the other seems to be liked. Try again, maybe your beliefs about yourself concrete cracked under the pressure of pleasure from some things.
Another fact - people who are constantly learning something new, stay young longer and much more cheerful. If you think it too late to start - it's complete nonsense.
In life, so many examples when people retired, finds his life's work, the very thing for which I would like to live another life. And if you're only 30, these excuses sound just pathetic.
6. Just relax
Sometimes the output to be not less tense than weekdays - where to go, how to entertain himself, catch a concert, go to a museum, an exhibition, to have time to buy new things for the party and so on other.
Sometimes you just have to stop this rush and bustle, and allow yourself to relax. This does not mean you have to lie all day watching television or playing on the ceiling.
You can catch a lot, if you do not hurry.
Just relax inside, exhale, release tension and do everything that I want. Walk down the street or go to the park, lost in those areas of the city, where there has never been, go to the restaurant, which has never been easy and Stay there.
Not enough for a few hundred years to explore their city completely, find all its inhabitants, uncover all the secrets, and you do not have so much time on it. Probably, it is worth it to get up off the couch and start your journey.
