Adventures…….

DBI Adults / Parents / Educators
Have adventures! Embrace an adventurous spirit even if only once a week! Why not?
Embrace spontaneity in your life. This is a secret way of bringing joy back! Routines can set in and we don’t remember anymore what it feels like to have fun and enjoy a bit of adventure in our lives. I love to have our DBI Young Ones look at the definition of things. So, let us do the same.
Adventure is defined as a risky undertaking of unknown outcome, an exciting or unexpected event or course of events.
Let’s focus on exciting! Take yourself by surprise and bring excitement to your life. Now and then consider being unlike you and escape the treadmill of predictability! You always go to work by taking the same route, yes? Take a different one every once in a while. Choose the scenic one and enjoy your surroundings. When you go to the grocery store next time, get a fruit or a vegetable (or both) that you have never tried before. Go feed the birds outside your home or at break time when at work. Wear colored socks! Hah! Why not?
Another way to add adventure to your life is to find ways to do something that is brilliant and that pays it forward. Can you find a way to pay it forward on a daily basis? Be it with a smile to everyone around you or a helping hand to a fellow worker, client, friend or family member. There are infinite ways to live a life of adventure where we feel bliss surrounding and embracing us. Our hearts can race in so many ways……..so open up to find different ways to get *your* heart going! :)
Find new directions to explore in your life! Have you always wished to learn to play the guitar or a new language or martial arts? Go do it! Find 1 hour every week and go give it a try! Keep dreaming WONDERful dreams and savor life for we only pass this way……..once!
“Because of our routines we forget that life is an ongoing adventure”~Maya Angelou
Now, go HAVE FUN and bring adventure into your life. Your Young Ones are watching and will mirror it as they grow older! Wish to witness them live a life filled with healthy, empowering, and positive adventure and joy? Then show them how it’s done: DO IT YOURSELF NOW!
Why Not?
