Adventure Days!

Hello again!

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite activities in life. Adventure Days!

(^ Not actually me ^)

I am going to guess that sometimes you just want to escape and ignore everything for the day. Am I right? We all feel it, we all want it, we all dream of it. No worries though, we are here together to help with giving yourself a mental break, a recharge, a boost. Never underestimate how much you may need a mental vacation. Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. It is what keeps us going in the gym, in our work lives, our personal lives, our goals, and our dreams. So to help you with your mental health, I am going to provide a fun and adventurous way for everyone to promote their mental health, as well as provide some new stories to you and your friends.

Bring in adventure days! What are adventure days you ask? Well my dear, beautiful, porcupine friend, they just happen to be one of my favorite activities in the entire world! A fun-filled day with new foods, drinks, sights, stories, and whatever else the day decides to throw my way! Now what I mean by Adventure Day is exactly what how it sounds. Not having a new adventure by binge-watching the new Netflix show (Which is another one of my favorite things), but to go and have an adventure. What this means is to get up, get showered, shave, grab your keys and money, and head out the door.

The next question you are probably asking is “Where do I go?”. Well, the world is yours to explore. I would find it hard to believe that there isn’t some place you have wanted to go. Adventure days do not have to be extravagant destinations, or once in a lifetime places. They can be anything that you have been wanting to do but have yet to explore. To give you some insight on how I do adventure day. My love and I will talk about the places we have been wanting to go, wanting to see, things we have read about that is within a couple of hours drive and just have yet to make it there. We are to the point where we start planning our Adventure Days. Once we decide a place that we want to go, we will then loosely plan it. By this I mean we only plan the destination, and roughly the time we want to head out the door. Everything else that happens that day is left for surprise and exploration.

Are you still thinking of ideas on where you could go? Well I have created a list below that may help to get things jump-started:

- Botanical ​Gardens

- Zoo and or place with actual wild animals - Arboretums - State or National Parks - Picnic in Nature - Book stores you have always wanted to see - Coffee Shops you have yet to try - New Town - Festivals - Hiking Trails - New Dog Park - Just about any wildlife/nature attraction open to you and near you Cool tourist attractions

The list of options could keep going on and on, but it is just to kickstart your adventures. Another one that I didn’t mention above was driving. Just get in the car and drive, try to get lost while soaking in the scenery. We incorporate little games into our drive involving some four-sided dice. The point of the adventure day is to try new things, explore new areas, and keep your mind off of the rest of the week. Going out and adventuring is one of the most amazing ways to imagine new things, dream the impossible and then to go back home and make those dreams possible. The world is a large place, too large for us to sit there and watch it pass us by.

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

Now go out there and get those real-life achievement points, explore the unknown, share the stories, and live more!

Until next time,
