WEBVTT - Where plus who

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning.

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:16.080
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>tip is that meaningful moments often include a special experience

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and a special companion. Think where plus who for truly

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 1>making memories. If you've been listening to this podcast for

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a while, you know that I am always recommending doing

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>one big adventure and one little adventure each week. I

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>find this is a good cadence that lets you maintain

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>good routines but make memories. This isn't a week just

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>like any other. This is the week I went to

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>see the roses at the Botanical Garden. Having adventures also

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>helps us develop identities as people who do cool things.

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>It is absolutely possible to do adventures on your own.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>If you've got an adventure in mind and don't have

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 1>someone readily available to do it with you, don't let

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that stop you. But if you have an adventure in mind,

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you can make the experience slightly more memorable by bringing

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>someone along. The botanical garden with a friend or with

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>that new colleague is going to be a different memory

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>than that trip solo, and can offer the chance for

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>making the memory even more special. I am a big

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>fan of bringing people along for many reasons, one of

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 1>which is efficiency. Many of us would like to spend

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>more time with friends and family members, and so it's

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>good not to have to find time for adventures and

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 1>people when the two can be combined. Adventures also become

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>more memorable with another person because you can talk about

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the adventure while it is happening, and then you can

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>reflect on it with the person later. When you and

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>your new colleague are talking about your lunchtime trip to

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the botanical garden before your next staff meeting and are

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>recounting your favorite roses, it is going to make that

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>experience feel bigger in your mind. You didn't just experience

0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>it once, You're experiencing some of it again in the

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>retelling now. Obviously, some people are more intuitively social than

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>others and are always thinking about where plus who, But

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>there are a few ways to nudge yourself to add

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a who to your adventures. One is to buy an

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>extra ticket, which can then force yourself to pass it along.

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I have done this with concerts. I can I always

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>try to drag my husband or a kid, but it

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>can also nudge me to tell people I have an

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>extra spot if they want to go. Guest passes are

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>good too, because it makes it more frictionless to bring

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>someone along. You can also decide to do adventures when

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>you know that other people might be doing them. If

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 1>a friend will be in a different location for a while,

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you could offer to go visit them there. That would

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>be an adventure. If a friend posts that they will

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>be at an event on social media, post that you

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>will go too, and see if anyone else in the

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>comments wants to join you. When you pair friends and

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>family with an appealing event or experience, you get more

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>time with friends and you tend to enjoy the event

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>more than you would if your loved ones weren't there.

0:03:54.840 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>So think where plus who, and any given event might

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>just be more fun. In the meantime, This is Laura.
