I always put my yoga mat in the same spot.

Toward the front, toward the right. Perfectly centered on one of the dots stuck on the studio floor. I chose this spot because I'm directly aligned with a window, which helps in challenging balance postures by giving me something interesting and steady to focus on.

I, and everyone else, consider that to be "my spot." Every day, in every class, I'm within an inch of that exact location. It's comfortable.

Today it was raining, and when I arrived at the yoga studio a few minutes later than usual, someone else was in my spot.

I don't want you to think it's a big deal—it isn't. I just went to another place in the room, to a different dot and a different spot. The class was fine, great even.

But it was different.

There were different people on that side of the studio (I'm not the only one with a "spot"). I had a different view in downward facing dog. The music even sounded different.

I liked it.

We all get stuck in our routines. Mindlessly doing the same things over and over. Shaking things up, even the tiniest amount, can change our perspective and help us see things with fresh eyes. Make us more aware, more mindful.

Is there something you can change? A small adjustment that would change what you're doing just enough to make you notice? A tiny tweak that gives you a new point of view?

Maybe that's switching up the order of your daily tasks, trying a new job search platform (like ZenSearch.jobs), or moving to a different spot, like me.

Then consider if you want to make the shift permanent.

Sure, I'll probably go back to my spot tomorrow. Or perhaps I'll explore a different one...
