0:00:00 Carly: Foreign. Welcome to Coffee with Carly, your weekly wake up call to a happier, healthier life. I’m your host, Carly Shade, and I’m here to uncover how good life can get. All right. Hi everyone. Welcome back to another episode of Coffee with Carly. Today is going to be short and sweet. I just got back from my daily walk. There’s this wonderful golf course that I live by that has this amazing walking trail around it.
0:00:39 Carly: So I have walked this trail almost daily for basically two years, and every single time I walk in the same direction. Well, today I decided to go in the opposite way. For whatever reason. Well, I guess the sun was setting and I wanted to be able to look at the sunset longer, so I just chose to go the opposite direction. And it’s about like a two and a half, three mile loop. And this entire walk felt so different, like I was on an entirely different trail.
0:01:12 Carly: I noticed things that I hadn’t seen before. I was more attentive, like things stood out. And it was honestly more fun than it’s been in a long time. And it was all because I walked on the same path, but a different direction. I had made the tiniest adjustment to my routine and everything changed. What a great metaphor for today’s lesson. So many of us are moving through life on autopilot, stuck, uninspired, on the same walking path, that same loop, going the same direction and getting the same results.
0:01:50 Carly: But if we can make even the tiniest adjustment, it can break us out of that monotony and open the door to new possibilities like the tiniest little flick, the tiniest little breeze. That’s all it takes to get us off this same loop. The best part, that is the best part, that the tiniest, smallest shift can have a huge impact. So where can you make a tiny adjustment in your life? Maybe you surprise yourself and you respond to a situation differently. You know you’re going to try doing the opposite of what you’d normally do.
0:02:28 Carly: Just see where that gets you. Just surprise yourself to the opposite of you normally do in an everyday situation. Or maybe you adjust your routine and you start your day with a walk outside, eyes in the sun, and just see how much happier and more awake you feel throughout the day. There’s a lot of science behind that, which we’ll dive into in another episode. Or maybe it’s something as small as taking a different routine or route to work or a different way that you run errands, go down the side streets, you could see a new side of your city or stumble on a place that inspires you.
0:03:06 Carly: Or what if you adjust your energy? Instead of pulling back when something feels overwhelming, Lean in and see what messages come through. These little shifts can lead to big changes. So what’s one mini adjustment that you can try today? All right, so that’s it. We like to mix it up here on Coffee with Carly. Some episodes are going to be really long, some are just going to be short and sweet. We like to keep it simple.
0:03:38 Carly: So think about one tiny adjustment that you can make and just try it out. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, just one tiny little shift. Walk around the track a different direction and see what opens up for you. Let me know what you come up with. As always, I love to hear about it. You guys can tag me in stories when you share insights on Instagram. Again, that’s where I like to hang out and it makes me so happy when you guys share your tiny adjustments, your tiny moments, things that resonated with you.
0:04:11 Carly: Always, always keep sharing on Instagram. It makes me so happy to see that. Or again, leave a comment here on this episode and if you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe and follow. Thanks again for tuning in and we’ll chat next.
