Are You Up for a Challenge?

Do you stick with what you know or are you open to new things? Do you do the same old fitness routine or avoid changing your dietary habits because you just don’t feel comfortable with being adventurous?

It’s time to get out of your rut! When you consider that our ancestors would not have come this far if they had not experimented or taken on an adventurous task, then you begin to understand that taking on challenges is hard wired into our psyche. If we stick with what we know, take the same route to work, keep to the same schedule day after day we become stagnant - every part of us. Our body no longer responds to the daily workouts the way it used to, our mind cannot grasp new beliefs and thoughts even if we want it to, and your emotional self no longer seeks to feel joy or excitement and our relationship can become stale.

I have a cure for this. Get out and change something, if it really bothers you start small, change your fitness routine, or introduce yourself to one food that you have not tried. For those of you, who are a bit like me and have a sense of adventure inborn, get out and really go for a challenge that suits your adventurous spirit.

Start training for a big competition or event and hire a trainer to get you across the line, learn something completely new if you have never tried yoga before hire a teacher, what about belly dancing or pole dancing? Take on a beach marathon or triathlon having a new challenge and a new goal is guaranteed to bring a new sense of adventure and excitement to your life and your whole life will reflect your new outlook.
