Do you enjoy exploring, trying, discovering new things? Do you have curiosity about how things work or the wonders of nature? Do you have a list of things you want to do, see, experience, hear? Do you have an insatiable desire to explore, experience, and learn?
I do! The video shows my most recent venture to try something new – indoor skydiving. It was a little challenging to figure out how to shape the body to maximize the wind flow. Then the determination to do it “right” kicked in (perfectionism). Reminded by the instructors to relax and enjoy. There was the rush of going up and down through around 20 feet (not the 1000s of feet from a plane, but still impressive).
Lots of things for me are a onetime event. I try or do something and I have had the experience. I visit or see something, with oohs and ahhs, into each nook and cranny, ask lots of questions, read lots of info and ready to move on to the next adventure. Doing something new and different adventures is in my blood. Yes, I do have topics/areas on delve into with great intensity and detail. However, I enjoy the challenge and childlike wonder of first time experiences and exploration.
Routines and status quo has its place. I need that also. Things, places, and people I can depend on and that bring order out of the chaos. The stimulation of the new is something I thrive on. It is the foundation for my creativity. It counteracts boredom. It keeps me feeling alive.
The adventures can be through reading or virtual. However, the hands on experience – to see, touch, feel, experience directly is vibrant and results in exuberance. What is your next adventure? Share below, an exchange of things to do, see, experience……
