?? Ready for an Adventure?

?? Ready for an Adventure?

Hey friends,

Here’s a quick tip I’ve been finding super helpful recently - every morning I try to ask myself:?what’s today’s adventure?

Last Friday for example, I had to work on my book. But I felt pretty disengaged just sitting at home on the couch on my laptop. Then it hit me: I’ve always wanted to write a book. Shouldn’t I treat this like the adventure it is?

So what does an adventure look like? Definitely not me sitting at home in my pyjamas and dressing gown, hunched over on my laptop. So I left the house, went to a new coffee shop, sat by a sunny window, and made lots of progress on editing the second chapter of the book.

And it felt fun.

So, next time you’re feeling a bit meh about something, take 5 seconds to ask:?what would this look like if it was an adventure??That simple reframing could make your whole day more enjoyable.

Have a great week!

PS?I asked ChatGPT to summarise this issue for the lolz:

Ali encourages us to reframe mundane tasks as adventures, suggesting that this simple shift in perspective can make our days more enjoyable.

This is good, but misses the point. It’s not that we can turn mundane tasks into adventures if we try hard enough. It’s that we should stop treating?actual adventures?as these mundane tasks to slog through.

Thanks for this ???? I’ll try to ask myself that next time I sit, because half of my novel is waiting (160 pages) + a 92 pages feature script ?? it can feel like a burden at times. ADVENTURE. Keyword of 2023
