The School of Life - Everyday Adventures

Re-Discover Wonder and Excitement

As grown-ups, one of our deepest urges is for life to be more adventurous: a little more excitement, novelty, interest and passion. Unfortunately, many adventures, especially the ‘big’ kinds, are too expensive, threaten to upturn everything and can upset those who rely on us. What we therefore badly need is access to smaller, more pocket-sized adventures.

We call these ‘Everyday Adventures’ – from something tiny like eating an unfamiliar fruit from the market to rereading your favourite book to asking a parent what they were like as a teenager. This is a suggestion box to spark the imagination, revive the spirit and motivate us towards the slightly more adventurous lives we long for.

Adventures include:

• Write down five questions you wish someone else would ask you; ask them of someone else.

• Set your alarm before sunrise and go for a walk.

• Complete the sentence: ‘If I wasn’t afraid of failure, I would…’ Tell a friend your answer.

• Make something nice out of beetroot.
