Find a good seat at a cafe on a busy street in a large town.
Observe. One by one pick people out from the crowd, start with those you find interesting, give each one a story in your own mind. Create a life, who they are, where they are going, their personality…what are they thinking right now?
Got the idea?
Now, see how this changes the enjoyment you get from conversations with new people.
It’s a great exercise with so many benefits.
