Improve my sense of direction

I don’t always get lost… it so happens it’s only happens when I may be driving somewhere… or walking somewhere… or even sleeping… mmk… no comment. :)

Be able to exit a store and know where my car is. Be able to orient my self to surrounding towns at any given moment.

I’m not really sure if this is something I can really “fix”...It seems like something you were either born with or weren’t born with. I definitely wasn’t born with a sense of direction.

I have a couple ideas to help me:
*I’m going to buy a compass that’s either on a necklace or in a ring/bracelet so I be more aware of directions.
*Since I’ll be moving in a few months, I bought a map of the city I’m moving to. I put little flags on the map in places where I might want to visit. Then I use mapquest to see how they would suggest I get from point A to point B. THEN, since I won’t have a car, I see how I would get from one place to another using public transportation.

That all might seem like overkill, but I’m tired of being lost all the time!

Dont say it rach
