‘Wake up curious about the world!’ Readers’ tips for regaining your sense of adventure | Life and style

As we get old, many of us feel that we lose our sense of adventure. The crowded life can make us feel overwhelmed, while increasing responsibilities leave a small space for more bold efforts.

But maintaining an adventure perspective is one of the best ways to keep life exciting. With this in mind, we asked readers to share their advice to re -ignite the adventure. Here are 10 of the best suggestions:

“I tried a float tank, Taru, throwing the ax …”

This year I made a decision to do at least a new thing every month. To date, I tried a float tank, Taro, Ricky and calm the ax, and appeared on podcast. I am going to delirium more than 30s days. Acupuncture, Wilatess Audio Audio Path in the List. I heard that when you are a child, one of the reasons why the time is slower is the abundance of new experiences. This year I certainly felt longer for me – in a good way. I made more of it and enjoy trying things that may not have been going to. Becky Cole, UX Design Adviser, Manchester

“Challenge yourself when you start feeling

Wake up curious about the world. Avoid angry vortex at any cost and challenge yourself when you start feeling attention. Be open to learning. Keep reviewing your life balance … Do you have an appropriate amount of social activity, charitable work, fitness and flexibility? If not, put a plan to be a more balanced and content, while ensuring that you have enough energy. Em Elphick, former police officer, Oxford

“Nothing builds confidence like going to the wilderness for a week.”

My wife and I started in the back a few years ago, in our fifties. I was a boy in the seventies, so I had reached the back several times when I was young, but I was never as an adult. It is an easy and effective way to spend your vacation time-in addition to being healthy and rewarding. The cost provided to buy lightweight equipment can be light quality, but once you get your group, the only expenses are the cost of traveling to the destination of long distances, your back meals and fireplace fuel. We are both through the entire path of Apalashian, as well as many other paths near the home. There is nothing that builds confidence like going to the wilderness for a week and only surviving with the items that you carry only in your package. I strongly recommend that young people eat backpack so that they can see the natural world while they are still physically capable. I wish I had done it in my twenties. “Jedi”, New York

“Try to get out of your comfort area every day”

The adventure should not be major or boast. You can adventure daily – as long as you enjoy, get out of your comfort area and present at the moment. I included my last adventures upon retirement: taking a semester of acting; Join the soft football league for adults; Replace teaching (never a boring moment!) And start my own work. Virginia Leoni, the retired teacher, Oregon

“Waking up to see sunlight in another country is a magic matter.”

I stopped flying in 2019 due to the climate crisis, and with my husband and child (between the ages of 11 and eight), I found a new sense of adventure in slow travel to Europe. Sleeping on a bed floor on a screaming train and waking up to see the sun in another country is a magic matter. There is a lot of learning along the way: how to move in the timelines of the train, what to do when things get worse, and the privacy of different cultures. Traveling to remote destinations is more difficult than flying-and everything is more rewarding for that. Our children embrace the challenge with greater enthusiasm than we expected.

“Swimming in the sea changed my life”

Get the sea! I grew up near the coast, I always liked to swim as a child. Then life was exposed: I discovered parties and struggled to clarify jobs and responsibilities. For years, I had a repeated dream about a afraid in cold water and a feeling of calm and comfortable. I realized that I needed to swim again – but since I find noise, smells and people in the swimming pools that are difficult to deal with, I tried the sea. Now I am addicted to it. My husband and I moved to the coast last year, partly due to my desire to be at sea. I changed my life. Claire Dern, Northampeland

“Spending time with people of all ages gives you a different perspective.”

Customize time for people of all ages. If you only hang up with people of your age, you all have a similar global look. Being around different generations gives you a different perspective – this maintains your sense of adventure alive. It is easy to slide into a routine – but then he was flashing and going for two years without doing anything from the ordinary. Recently, you want you to climb a mountain to see the snow. I was not careful but I was very happy because I made this effort. Kimon Hill, Managing Director of Food Office, New Bleimouth, New Zealand

“Go in an internal adventure”

About menopause, I moved towards what I call “internal adventure”. I really started meditating with discipline and purpose. I went in long silent retreats, exploring breathing and other techniques. Initially, I still did a lot of music events and music. Now, internal exploration is much more exciting and has moved me to a level of contentment and happiness I never imagined. Quilley Forces, retired social worker, legal and reflection director, California, United States

“You don’t need to go to”

You do not need to go out to experience adventure. Pictures of upper surfing surfers or skiers around Coulors can be inspiring – but also scary. I took a wave lesson on the waves that were all of the high Sheen, and I did not expect much, but the tremendous excitement was equally with the best ski days in Saint Anton. It looked terrible, and perhaps some laughter laughed, but lost in a new experience in the fifties of the last century that made the rest of the world dissipate for a few ideal moments. Isn’t this what we really are looking for in adventure? Daf shield, artist, Quebec

“I have turned all bikes into an adventure.”

When I retired in the age of sixty, I bought my wife, Lynn, a good quality bike, medium -road rough road. Each trip has become an adventure and I do it whenever you can – often alone, but sometimes with friends or family, and once a week with a group. Since my wife rarely rotates, I use my walking cycle methods we can do together. My view of life has improved, and I get a lot of exercises and fresh air, as well as interviewing new people. Sometimes, I reached a dead end, but I often discovered a new path that I add to the library of adventures constantly. David Kroos, Director of Information Technology, Buckinghamshire
