How many people did you nod at today? The barista. The neighbour. The person at the servo.
ONE THING: this week, have a two-minute chat with someone you usually just nod at. Ask one real question. Then listen.
Ten reasons.
1. A nod takes one second. A chat takes two minutes. That's the whole cost.
2. You ask the barista about the weekend. Turns out they surf Bronte at 6am. Now every coffee comes with a surf report.
3. Your street starts to feel like your street. Not just a place you pass through.
4. Two minutes on the footy or the weather. Nothing to fix. Nothing to win. Your head gets a break from your own stuff.
5. The neighbour you chat to is the one who grabs your parcel when you're out.
6. The awkward bit lasts about five seconds. Then it's just a chat.
7. Skip it and you walk past the same faces for years. You never learn one name.
8. Skip it and the only voices in your day are work, home and a screen.
9. Two minutes, five days a week, is over eight hours a year of easy talk.
10. You miss the day the bloke at the servo knows your name. And asks how your mum's going.
A two-minute chat gets you out of your own head. Want a full hour where nothing asks anything of you? Our float tanks have no phone, no light and no sound. Sixty minutes lying still in water dense with Epsom salt.
