Planning An Adventure...

I have decided to conduct an experiment for my life.  I know of an activity in counseling that asks the person to imagine what her life would be in a perfect world.  What would a day look like?  What would she do?  And then the person is asked to do it--live a day in that perfect life.  

I did kind of type up a day in my life to see if I could fit everything in.  It didn’t work out so well…

What about trying to live a little closer to what I want my life to be like?  

So I’ve chosen Sundays as my day.  I am going to choose at least one activity to do for me.  I am also going to make an effort to be healthier on that day.  What would I eat if I was living my best life?  I’m going to make an effort to exercise, or at least be active.  I might go for a walk or go swimming, or simply get outdoors and take a stroll.

I am going to document my little experiment and see where it takes me.  I have named this experiment, “Adventure Sundays.”  Back when I was an undergraduate, some friends and I had an ongoing “date” where we’d go have fun.  Sometimes we’d go eat a meal, or go roaming campus--we even went to the zoo.  We called it, “Adventure Friday.”  I could use a little adventure in my life...
