Ideas to Turn your Everyday into An Exotic Adventure

January 6, 2014

IDEA135 : Infuse Your Days with Costa Rican Colors!

by Alla Feldman


@reremorales #dippedinturquoise #getarunningstart #treasureisjustaroundthebend

Learn to see hidden treasures!

{Beach in Manuel Antonio.} 

The very same one pirates used to lounge on... and apparently a huge amount of treasure that escaped Captain Morgan's grasp is still hidden somewhere in the hills of Manuel Antonio. 

Welcome to OTSP Glimpse.

OTSP Glimpse is a visual hop to discover a piece of the world, to peek into someone else's window, to see what life is like as seen by our global neighbors. We are fascinated by the way people present their world. And by sharing with each other we will be inspired to see our own lives in a new light, to try doing something differently or to simply think in a new way.  Remember, the most beautiful glimpses you might see may be someone's everyday, and what is a regular occurrence for you, may be very exotic to another global neighbor. By sharing we might just discover that what's around us is indeed glimpse worthy!

This first glimpse of the year takes us to Costa Rica. There is something about starting a new year submerged in an atmosphere very different from our own. It reminds us to think differently and notice new possibilities. What is one new thing you'd like to try or learn this year?

Try ONE new thing each month.

Infuse your days with COLOR!

{Alpinia purpurata, or Jungle Queen in Arenal.}

Bright colors have a therapeutic effect on our minds. They almost trigger us to wake up! When outside is a never ending pallet of grays, it might feel safe to cocoon yourself in the safety of black sweaters, but to splash a bit of bright color around you may very well be the prescription to awaken from the winter slumber.

What color makes you smile?

Plan tiny escapes.

Is your 'proverbial' getaway boat ready!? Mine is just there on Tamarindo Beach.  I have to always remind myself that everyday routine has been created by me and only me, and to depart from it all it takes is doing something differently and acknowledging that you're not stuck in it. And if needed: plan that getaway, it could be as simple as a longer lunch break at a brand new location, or planning a weekend trip to a new city...

Be passionate and you will be rewarded in gold.

{Sun setting on Tamarindo Beach.}

Just like the fable of a king who turned all he touched into gold, we can do it too. There is a difference between just getting something done, or putting real effort into it. We can turn things around us into gold, and ordinary moments into golden memories by being passionate.
