Here at Remnant Design Co., we’re all about living a life full of adventure. Hence why we’re your go-to modern-day guild for everyday adventuring needs.
But suddenly, I had a thought where I realized that maybe people didn’t know where to start on their adventure journey. Or that they didn’t see adventure being a part of their everyday lives. Or even that they crave adventure but don’t believe that they can truly live it. So, over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be sharing ways you can add adventure to your everyday!
The first thing we need to address is, how do you personally define adventure? For me, adventure means new and novel experiences with a tinge of excitement, wonder, chasing miracles, embracing the unknown, and growth, with moments of resistance and realizations sprinkled with pockets of joy and laughter throughout. So, how do I implement this every day?
It can be as grand as a day trip to local hot springs, a shoutout to Ojo Caliente, or chasing waterfalls. Simple as trusting my intuition when to get off the freeway to take the side streets or a scenic route since I’ll be in traffic anyway. While getting ready for the day, I always ask myself how I want to feel that day and dress for what I would like to experience that day. It can be as small as reading a new blog or picking up that book from your pile of unread books. Or even use cute pens to add a bit of fun or sparkle as you get through your to-dos. The possibilities of adding a sense of adventure to your life are endless. It’s all about following what piques your interest and curiosity.
Don’t just take my word for it and give it a try!
Outdoors
- You got puppers? The next time you’re on a walk take a different route. Switch it up!
- Check out some green spaces or parks in your neighborhood
- Go for a nature walk and see what plants and flowers are sprouting and in bloom
- Don your best binoculars and Nigel Thornberry ensemble and have a go at bird watching.
- Got a creek, river, an arroyo, babbling brook? Explore it! Take a stroll and soak in all the nature and sounds.
Reading
- Explore the vast and diverse world of substack, medium or blogs! Some of my personal favorites and go-tos:
- The Good Trade
- The Creative Independent
- Well + Good
- Substack: Elevate with Yung Pueblo, The Atlas of Beauty, EcoCult, Offgrid Connections, The Twelfth House, and Uprooted
- Didn’t you know that having fun isn’t hard when you’ve got a library card? Well, head on over to your local library. Check out a few books, read or attend some of the monthly events and activities.
Home
- Thinking of redecorating or adding a refresh to your space? Try creating a moodboard to get the creative juices flowing.
- More of a homebody? Plan a good old fashion movie night.
Foodie
- Try that spot you’ve been eyeing on IG or FB.
- Set a theme for your meals for the week and make dishes that fit.
- Explore some nifty recipes on Pinterest, but beware of the AI generated ones, apparently those haven’t turned out so great.
Arts & Culture
- Stop by your local museum or art gallery to see what’s on view.
- Attend your city’s artwalk/art crawl. It usually happens either on the first Friday or third Friday of the month. Varies by city.
- Take that pottery class you’ve been thinking about.
- Join that drop in free draw session at your local community art center.
- Attend a local artist’s studio visit.
Have fun with it! There’s no right or wrong way to adventure. Honor your definition of adventure and be authentically you!
