Backstory: When I was putting together The List, I almost pulled this nudge off. It feels kinda vague. But on final review, I kept it because it forces me to be in the moment, to be open to whatever may come.
Will I be invited to a social event that feels outside my comfort (or fashion) zone? Will I see an opening in a class that’s just a little outside my (financial or intellectual) reach? Will I get an opportunity to experiment on something that’s always looked like fun but had me doubting my ability to even try?
We’ll find out!
Have fun with this! If you need inspiration, check out Shonda Rhimes’ book Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person.
My friend Janet asked me to do the Crosstown trail hike. This is a 17 mile hike from Candlestick Point to Lands End. This 52 Nudger got me to say YES! It was a cold December day but clear and beautiful. I have lived in San Francisco for 30 years and was going through new neighborhoods and parks. It was amazing. Check it out: http://www.crosstowntrail.org. Took us 7 hours and we ended up having a beer at Cliff House. Many people do it in chunks.
What a fabulous adventure! Things like this–getting out and discovering new parts of your own city–are what I hope we’re all doing through nudges. Thank you for sharing how 52Nudges inspired you!
