Talk to someone you have never taken the time to talk to before. Maybe there is someone you mostly ignored because they did not seem interesting at first or maybe you pass by a guy everyday on the way to work and never stopped to talk to them. don't you ever wonder what their story is or who they are. I pass by this guy on the way to work sometimes who wears a cowboy outfit and practices lasso'in saw horses. Being a city gal to the core at first I go ugh to cowboy culture, but I love that this guy gets out there without caring who is watching and just does what he loves and it makes me want to stop to talk to him and find out more or just to say hi and thanks for breaking up the monotony of my drive to work. Maybe you don't think talking to these strangers will interest you or help your creativity but it is one of those " you never know until you take the time to try" moments. Talking to people outside your own little circle or world is just another simple way to open your mind to new things.
