Life is about choices. Choices lead to the mundane and choices lead to wonder. What will you choose?

1. Just do it. Don’t overthink it.
Get out and do something. Adventure doesn’t have to be about passport stamps from far away lands. Adventure can be found everywhere. Yes, everywhere. Start small and grow from there.
- Skip the gym and take a hike. Check the AllTrails app to find hikes nearby your area.
- Skip binging the latest show to watch a sunset in the park.
2. Throw your expectations out.
Try not to forecast what will or won’t happen. Simply live in the moment.
3. Push yourself.
Start small, but push yourself out of your comfort zone. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
Of course, get training for the necessary outdoor activities. But acknowledge that everything will not go perfectly. Given the knowledge you gain, you will find your way through it.
Check with your local REI for outdoor activity classes (often free) and seminars.
Rationalize your fears. Living a fearless life is impossible. That is not the point. You can acknowledge and rationalize your fears while making the choice to pursue your dreams.
Get in better physical shape. You never want to have your body prevent you from pursuing your dreams of adventure.
4. Get off the beaten path.
We have all seen the Instagram photos. You know the ones. The same photo, but thousands of different people. Choose places others are not flocking to as well. Find the WOW that Instagram has yet to find.
The mundane is easy. When you find yourself sinking back into it, choose to get out. Choose wander! Adventure doesn’t take a deep checkbook or even incredible physical shape. It takes a bit of common sense, a few skills, and desire. Desire to live a life of adventure!
