Okay so don’t tell this to anyone 🤫 but there was this exploration where you needed to go to a public place and overhear conversations and document them! I did that and I heard some really unusual and riveting things! I just loved the whole experience and exposure to things I’m not used to doing! I mean come on! Everyone needs some change in their lives! This helped me look at things at different angles! Carrying out these explorations was also really self therapeutic. Now I couldn’t do a lot of exploring outside because of the pandemic but I sure did investigate the four corners of my house thoroughly and I became aware of a certain number of things that were never there or things which I had never noticed before! This may seem like a waste of time but trust me, It’s not! It has a lot of proposals on how you can be a good explorer and seek interest in things that may seem boring to others. It makes sure you exercise all five of your senses and it makes you explore even the deepest parts of your thoughts! This book was really worthwhile and productive.
