Adventures in Self-Care

Everything you do now had a first time!

We all know the saying, "There's no such thing as a newbie," but the truth is, everything we do now had a first time. And for most of us, that first time is what gets us out of a rut and really makes us feel alive.

The problem with comfort zones is that they offer zero growth. We don't discover anything about ourselves when we're in our comfort zones because we're not challenged. But when we step out of our comfort zones and into the unknown, that's when the magic happens.

Everyday adventures (think small)

One of the best things about adventures is that they don't have to be big to be impactful. Sometimes the smallest things can have the biggest impact on our lives. Here are some examples of everyday adventures you can try:

• Sign up with a friend to walk, jog, or run a short race.
• Take a day trip to a place you've wanted to visit, but haven't.
• Try a new fitness class.
• Take a class - language, sewing, quilting, soapmaking, coffee 101, Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, etc.

Take 20 minutes and brainstorm or keep a running list on your phone of ideas. Plan to do one activity each week that's out of your comfort zone, then perhaps one big adventure each year.
