Keep a Sense of Adventure

Today we are going to focus on being adventurous!

We should keep a sense of adventure. Being adventurous allows you to get to know yourself. You will never know if you like something if you don't try it. An adventure is something that challenges us to step out of our comfort zones.

Benefits from being adventurous: 

*it expands and broadens the mind

*reduces stress

*being adventurous brings out certain strengths

*it helps you meet new people 

* enables us to have new stories to tell, memories are made(if you can make positive memories on purpose, why not?)

* gain some emotional intelligence by learning to stay cool under pressure (give example of when I went out of town by myself)

According to https://www.shape.com, Whether it’s physical or mental, adventurous behavior makes us feel good: It fires up the same regions of the brain that getting a reward does, according to a study in the journal Neuron. 

1. write a poem, journal about something, if its something you rarely do you will be surprised at the thoughts that flow

2. develop a traveling mindset, plan a day trip, act like a tourist, get on your phone and google places to see 

3. start a book club with your friends

4. go on a picnic, take a picture of yourself everyday at a different place and start a photo album, write on the back of the picture

5. plan an adventure that will help you break your barriers, if not skydiving go roller skating or parasailing

6. do something you normally wouldn't do, take a trip by yourself

7. complete a DIY (do it yourself) project

8. believe in your new adventurous mindset and take action

Believe in yourself and your new adventure moments!

Being adventurous helps you to have a new perspective on things. You develop a why worry attitude instead of being on edge. It helps you to gain confidence and aids in your personal development.

Let's get adventurous!
