The task and intention
To bring more adventure into my life
Try new things
Not feel so stuck
Changing career
A tonne of ideas
Feel the sense of freedom
To live a little
Not screw up my nose
Not have fear
Not have things holding me back
Be brave
Be bold
A touch more courage
So I said yes more
I tickled my toe in
Swam in the ice-cold water
Picked up a tarantula
Ate what was on my plate
Tried new coloured clothes
Wore jeans not dresses
Said new words
All these ways of changing
And a sense of growth
Making me feel whole
Able to talk about different things
Pushing my comfort
Pushing my limits
Did I become too reckless?
Was I beginning to say yes to everything…
Where is the balance?
Where is the control?
Where do you stop?
I don’t want to hurt myself in the process
Who is this new ‘me’
I like her
I don’t really know her
But I welcome her
She wants to express and feel
Breathe and hold
Touch
It’s sensory and strange
It’s fun and exhilarating
Trying new things
We should all try it more often…
Experiment a little…

What’s a way you can bring more adventure into your world?
