Start Your Own Adventure
Well-intentioned friend (WIF): Ummm Heidi?
Me: Yes?
WIF: You’re a life coach. Why all this travel talk? What’s the deal with exploration?
Me: Tell me about the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone and tried something new?
WIF: I was dared to snorkel on a family vacation last summer. I am terrified of the water, but it felt weird not to snorkel in the Bahamas where the water is so perfect.
Me: Exactly.
WIF: Exactly, what?
Me: When we intentionally explore, either at home or on vacation, we step out of our comfort zones and try something new. The more often we do this, the more we naturally expand, grow and evolve. When it comes to being brave in daily life, it’s easy for routine to take over. On vacation? Well, it’s just part of the entirely new and unfamiliar territory.
WIF: Not all of us can afford vacations every year.
Me: Of course not! But you can explore in your own backyard. You can take a cooking class in Tampa as easily as you can in Paris. You can charter a sunset cruise around Seattle, Sarasota or Singapore.
Whatever you’d like to try in a foreign locale, you can find an equivalent close by. This is why I’m starting a weekly adventure challenge series Wednesday nights at 6pm EST. Join me for a Facebook Live on my Facebook Page A.W.E by Heidi Lyn Campbell to start your own adventure.
Can’t wait to see you there!
