We get so wrapped up in doing life as usual that we forget to broaden our horizons and create new visuals for our mindset and our dreams. Sometimes it can be hard to let go of our comfortable little space inside our bubbles. If you never experience anything outside your balloon, then you will always be recycling the stale air that surrounds you. Yes, you need to step outside your comfort zone and stop waiting for others to join you in living your best life. It’s nice to hang out with friends and family, but sometimes you need to take the road less traveled alone, and I did just that this past weekend when I decided to visit the “Rivers Casino Portsmouth,” which is only an hour or so away from my home. This was something that I had on the back burner for quite a while with hopes of a group trip, but when I saw the little Airbnb that I had been keeping tabs on open up for one night, I decided to do a solo getaway, and off to the casino I went.
As an Uber driver I also made the trip pay for itself by grabbing riders to/from Portsmouth, and fortunately I ended up spending very little of my own money because one of the riders gave me a cash tip and told me which machine to play. Although I won and lost it was a great experience along with the amazing food at the “Crossings Café!” I would definitely return for the food, but not so much for the gambling, since I’m not really into watching money go that fast. The bottom line is, I wanted to feel the air outside my balloon! The next time you feel yourself getting complacent and out of sorts, jump outside your balloon and grab some fresh air.
