High 5 Habit: amzn.to/3fMvfPQ
The 5 Second Rule: amzn.to/3372Rl9
My mom had a book filled with Christmas stories from her childhood. One of the stories was called the Penny Walk. It was about 2 girls that went on a walk and at every intersection they would flip a coin to tell them what direction they would go. Heads-right; Tails-left. The girls had a fabulous adventure. I did this once with my kids when they were little. No reason I couldn’t do this as an adult!
Oh, haha! I'd get SO lost!

It’s a fantastic story.
Sometimes, although I’d like to adventure, I don’t know how or don’t have enough braveness.
But coin can help me.
🎉
Great idea 😂
I have been feeling very down lately and extremely bored so this hit the nail on the head!! It’s super important to see new sites
Good for you!!!!! ❤
In the beginning of this video, I thought it was going to be about saving money, to go to different places around the world, to make life more exciting. Never gave it much thought, to step out side of your back door and just see things in anew light. My husband and I have a beautiful back yard. I have never really sat down and looked at nature closely! And it’s free!! I’m going to start making list of things to do and go see! Thank you!🥰
Listened to this as I drive to try new yoga experience…trapeze yoga. Fun and look forward to practicing something new. A month ago joined two running groups and one is a trail running group. New things means new people and more support and opportunities for fun. So glad I have recognized how wonderful it is to be open. So confidence boosting. Mel has been a huge part of me discovering this. This video is right to the point of what I am doing. ❤
The timing couldn’t have been more needed. Became an empty nester yesterday and feeling so paralyzed! Heeding this advice starting today!
Empty nesting was so much harder than I thought it would be! Five years later and I am still trying to navigate my new life.
It’s especially hard when you’re alone. The house is waaaay too quiet!
I started teaching myself songs in Spanish in order to learn this new language. Then I started showing up for Spanish karaoke and it was one of the most fun things I've ever done in my life.
Love this!!!❤
This is a great idea. I definitely need a list because I’m always saying “I should do that” but when it comes time to do something, I can’t come up with anything that I want to do. Thanks Mel!
I used to do that in college, i LOVE stationary and art supplies so i would research every art supply store near and far, small or big, and make time in my schedule for it, even when i had to commute in public on my way home i would drop by the near stores. And now that i have money and my own car 😂 i find joy in exploring bakeries and cafe shop all by myself ❤❤ i seriously need to go back to this habit especially with all the pressure from work and masters studies.
Loved this episode. Being in Oz, and loving to travel each year to northern Australia, this year I couldn’t go. It’s a cold winter and kinda challenging to get motivated. I realised after hearing this just how many places in my own backyard I’ve dismissed as boring. Today I’m heading out, first to tourist info, then taking myself somewhere. With the camera with an unjudgemental curiosity. And going there on every road I’ve rarely driven to get there. Thanks Mel.
Love this guidance. On a previous episode, you spoke of finding the right coffee shop for yourself in your area. I'd been down on my town, Schenectady, lately, thinking about moving. I took your advice and went to Arthur's Market in the historic district, and wow, felt like I'd stepped into Greenwich Village. From there I explored more. Took in a show that was passing through one night, and we were amazed to see th restaurants hopping and all the buzz around Proctor's Theater, downtown was pulsating. Yeah, before I condemn this place, I need to get out more. I'm always rewarded by adventures.
That sounds like fun!
This is exactly how I came up with my 50x50 bucket list! Things I haven’t seen or done. Some local, some a distance.
I love this! This was me in my teens.I went every where and explored on my own. But after being married 32 years with three grandkids and two adult sons. My routine is so stagnant lol. Thank you for the reminder and the inspiration❤
OMG EVERYTIME I COME TO UA-cam! POOF! its something I need!!!!! Every one of your videos! love you!
I do house sitting as a side hustle and love exploring new neighbourhoods. Cafes, markets, parkland, exercise classes are always on my to-do list.
Love from Australia. 🇦🇺
I went to an intro to paddle boarding class offered by the city last weekend. It was so amazing & fun!! I signed up to go again next Sat. Thanks Mel ❤
Love this episode, Mel. It is just about the small things for joy and happiness. So true! Thank you!
Nothing like waking up to a new video from my favorite superstar! These videos are so educational and informative and are just what I need to keep me going through all the tough times. Thank you, Mel!💙
Thank You so much for what you do!! You walk with me early every morning
Love this Mel! I moved to a new city in December. I made it my goal to do something new every day even if it's just trying a new coffee or going to a new park. I keep a list in the back of my planner and everyday I write the new thing I did that day. 6 months in and it's turning out to be one of the best years of my life! I've met a lot of new peope who have lived here for years and haven't explored this much yet! Highly recommend trying this to anyone stuck in the boredom rut.
1. Go to a new store
2. Go down a street you've never been down before
3. Go to a public place like a museum, gallery, or library you've never been to
4. Try a new type of food or cook something new
5. Join a sports league or volunteer
When you've finished exploring your town, start over and explore the surrounding towns. Have fun!
Thank you!!
Just listened to the podcast and I was blown away. I was blown away because changing things up seems so simple.
But Lord help me to change it up because I can get stuck in a rut bad. But there are some good ideas presented. Thank you much for sharing this.
Thanks for the encouragement to do something new. Shake things up and enjoy life . This is gonna be a new start for me . 😊
I related to every word of this. I have lived in the same town for 34 years and I am in such a rut! Mel is right, there are things I have never done, places I have driven right past. Thank you for inspiring me to get out of my rut!
Can’t travel but can watch awesome travel logs😅😅😅❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
This is good time. I have a quiet couple of months coming up over the summer. Which is an opportunity to do a lot of things I have been meaning to do for a long time i.e. sort my garden out, paint the bathroom. I was making my list of tasks when I thought perhaps I should do some fun things as well. Almost as the thought left my mind this video popped up. I have 11 things on the 'Fun List' already and am going to add to it. Wishing everyone a good fun summer.
Mel your advice is so spot on. Moved to a new town recently and every day is a new adventure. Use google map to find the necessities but once there start to explore the neighboring stores or streets. Moved to an over 50 community and have to make an effort to put myself out there, past my comfort zone. Am finding new adventures and new friends. Keep up the great advice.❤
Practice what you preach. I was obsessed with going to Europe and never made it!
I love this, I started looking into my town and finding places I never knew existed 3 years ago and it has been amazing. I haven't had time to venture out lately but listening to this video makes me want to put things on the calendar and go exploring again. Thank you for the reminder.
Thank you Mel for bringing up this topic. It seems it was meant for me to hear. Every day it's the same thing, this advice is very helpful 🥰
Here in Dallas, there is a historic Swiss Ave home tour on Mothers Day weekend. I finally went and it is amazing to have the chance to tour these historic mansions! Each year its a different list of homes.
I’m doing this starting today!!!! Thanks Mel!!
I love this! This is accessible to everyone and a topic that I’ve never seen approached. Thank you for doing this show!
Thanks Mel love all yur podcasts so need to make a list great inspiration what a great listen 👍❤️❤️
Great advice, and I am going to follow it!
Thank you Mel! I needed this! ❤
I've re-read parts of my daily journals for the past four years lately. It's almost as if I am living the same year over and over. You have helped me realize that I want desperately to change it up! Thanks, Mel.
The sourdough bread story = GREAT memories with your son, he will be telling that hilarious fail story MUCH longer than had it been a "success" ❤❤
Thank you so many ppl should enjoy the areas they are in more.
Yes yes yes been trying to these past few years
Wonderful and life changing ❤
Great episode! Loved it and got some ideas on a list now to shake things up 🥰🥰🥰
Mel you're a genious - this idea is so simple but so exciting at the same time! I'll do that 100%!
Lithuania🇱🇹 Panevėžys town (rather small, but industrial, so I thought there's nothing fun here)
Great ideas! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. I don't know how to have fun.
This is awesome!! I finally visited a store from my screenshots and discovered its in the middle of so many new places i cant wait to go back!!
Great ideas and perfect for me right now!
Loved this and you and waiting on the edge of my seat for the next
Mel is amazing and is helping me so much. Keep doing what you are doing so well! 😊
The greatest ideas are the simplest! Thank you , Mel, for remembering that ❤ when I was a schoolgirl we were looking for adventures with my sister… and yes we have a lot to remember and laugh about)
This video was really necessary for me ❤
Nadia, 32, Yakutia.
I really needed this today. Thank you so much for all you do Mel! 🥰😘
awesome! allof these are words of truth and wisdom ❤ thank you
I also loves this game. Fun venturing out
Yes, I can relate to what you saying
Mel thank u for the inspiration. I'm going to share these ideas and you of course in my wisdom Wednesday group! Love ya!!!
Such a great point!!!!
Some of the ideas are really great. However repetition is not a failure. ask the waves, ask the leaves and ask the wind. Being grateful for the small things is crucial especially when dealing with anxiety. Always looking for something and thinking life is not as good makes you miss small things passing us by as well. A bit of both I think Just a thought
I love Vermont. Go every year. Live in N J. Been to Southern VT many times. Yes there's lots to do just gotta look for it. Will be back in October.
The timing on this was absolutely perfect! I actually made my list about a month ago. Now it's time to start checking things off that list😂
You should come in Greece Mel,it is a very beautiful place for holidays,you gonna love it!!😍
Good share. Thanks.
I really appreciate this session it was wonderful I really appreciate your work keep going ❤🎉
Love you Mel ❤ Thank you
Great podcast well stated and needed 👏🏻👍🏻
Love yah Mel! Appreciate your content!
😃
Wow love this so much! Thanks for this, will definitely do it ❤
Gosh this speaks to me.
Love this! Thanks for sharing stories, motivation, and simple ideas to shake things up from the mundane in life! xo
Thank you my friend 🤜🤛💞🌹🙏
Thank you so much Mel!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎😎🤣
Great ideas and great video!
Lots of love from Mauritius 🇲🇺
Thank you Mel
Most fantastic video ever 👏
It's so true that you don't have to be rich to shake things up a little, to experience the world in another perspective. You don't need to necessarily go to fancy Seychelles and Maldives vacation in order to gain more exciting adventures. In the city/town where you live or in the surrounding area, you can expose yourself for new things. You just have to get out of your house and putting yourself out there to new places, new situations. Really, let's ditch the online shopping what we get used to when the pandemia started in 2020. Let's go to the new shops which just opened newly in our town, who knows, maybe we bump into somebody with whom we will gonna make lasting friendship. There are so many opportunities forward us, maybe we are just not aware of them. Great podcast, worth thinking about the "never been there and the never done that before".
I love this ❤idea so much
Thank you😊
Mel Robins❤
I usually planned to go somewhere which I wanted to go in my mind when I needed to go somewhere for the job.
Funny how you mentioned exploring your own backyard because when you said that phrase, I immediately went back to my childhood when I went exploring my particular neighbourhood.
Okay imagine this for a second.
A quiet street with regular houses and property sizes and go down this peaceful street and on your right is a small house with a cherry blossom tree on the corner. Keep going down with houses on the left and right then on the right is a set of stairs going up to a row of townhouses and a 4 story apartment building on the left and another set of stairs that leads to the same townhouses and then past the apartment building on the left there's a tiny street with townhouses in a horseshoe shape and past two more small townhouses you'll come to an 4 story apartment building where I grew up and just passed the building on the righthand side there was a school.
Now imagine yourself in that apartment building on the third floor facing the small street with a small poisonous hard berry (they hurt like a bitch) tree all bare with fresh snow on the branches, but the true beauty is at sundown when the sun sets facing west, now go out of that room and take a few steps down a hallway turning left and seeing the balcony which faced North.
Each season in that place brought me new adventures and as I got older, I was brave enough to hang out in the graveyard at the back of the apartment building.
My goodness, thank you for the memory jolt. That was quite a trip down memory lane during my childhood. 🥲
Yes I need to do this.
Inspirational and aspirational x
About new restaurants, sometimes you are afraid of spending good money on something that's not good!! What is familiar and you know that you like it, is more attractive than the unknown!
Brilliant Mel 👍
Yes ma'am I do go out to beach some times and go to market or church on Sunday morning
Energetic speech...
Love this idea!!!
Thanks Melllll❤❤❤
Now I felt why most of us are so bored personalities cause of no any idea things to do just same daily routine. I also felt that so I started to do new things, new experiences, new adventures ❤😍💯.
Have you taken Oakley to a cooking/ baking class at king Arthur? We loved it!
We are playing the alphabet game. The rule is to go to a place to eat or have a drink that starts with that letter. We have tried several new places so far. Some are worth going back to. So much fun.
I love this episode
Motivation
Wait are Mel's dogs named Yolo & Homie? Love it 😆
I have to think of places, however, I am pretty inquisitive so usually exploring everything. Looking at things, listening to all sounds. Taking the history and nature in. Hmmm. There still must be something to discover.
We live in the middle of the SoCal desert! Still, there must be things we haven’t experienced 😎
Nice!!!! On it! ❤❤❤
It’s so true. I was at the beach, and I live in seattle. I can’t go on a beach vacation- but there are certain times of the year, like now, I look at the colors of the water and sky and think, I might as well be on a Greek isle! 💙🩵🌊
Love this
Mel you brought back memories of my belated MUM & l sometimes one of my Sisters come we do this all the time if we have the time healthy that matches up for that day few hours to full day sometimes dinner we get picked up early most times & just spin the bottle to see where heading to & explore sometimes do it twice it was nice the first time.
We go to a place up to an hour or more or less away maybe next the state or in state but our back yard as we referenced a few times a dud 👎but lots of the time it was a sweet gem

So timely i was just telling someone how i was busy bored. I have lots of things that need to be done and i am just bored with them
I am sorry to hear that the outwardly amazing life that you have built gets boring sometimes. I have a feeling that people think that my life gets boring I never feel that way.
