Doing your new year’s resolutions? Or are you doing your vision board for 2018? Setting your intention for the year? Add some fresh experiences to step out of your comfort zone or learn something new.
Experiences are priceless and unforgettable. Even bad experiences can become a good story (I will have to share the first time I went paddle boarding at some point). Experiences introduce you to different perspectives; especially, if you travel, but when you are not traveling you should not stop experiencing new things.
This year I decided to think ahead and not just rely on my spontaneity to discover new things. Don’t get me wrong; spontaneity is a good thing! This list is only a jump-off point; an inspiration list to make sure that I am not just living day by day. We all should try something new at least once a month.
1. Take an Archery Class – I have always wanted to try archery, especially in the last few years after reading 299 Days
2. Go to a Bull Riding Event – Oh how I would love to go back to Spain and see a bullfight, but we sometimes don’t always get what we want. An American bull riding event should be just as fun and exciting.
3. Skydive Indoors and a tandem flight – I have been waiting for my son, Ian, to reach the age of 18 to skydive with me. However, I think I need to try it first to make sure that he will like skydiving. We can do indoor skydiving together.
4. Learn Glassblowing – Glassblowing is a beautiful process. Wait until I show you my photo’s from when I take this class.
5. Snow Tubing – I think I am in denial about my age. Going down a hill or slope on an intertube… just can’t wait.
6. Cooking Class – I’ve taken a pasta cooking class so this time I am thinking either French, Asian or maybe even pizza.
7. Pottery Class – All I have to say is “Ghost” the movie.
8. Paintball – I don’t want to embarrass my son but can I play also?
9. Go Kayaking – On our last bike ride before winter, we found this area along the north branch trail in Illinois that you can rent kayaks. I had to put this on my to-do-list especially after my paddleboard try.
10. See a burlesque show – I think this is grown and sexy time.
11. Candle-making class – I love candles. It would be great to make these and give them as gifts.
12. Try my hand at painting – I have had no schooling for art, but last year it kept coming up as something I wanted to try. So this year I have to make it happen.
I will share these and other experiences with you throughout the year. What are some new experiences you have planned for this year? Comment below and let us know.
Go Create Your Experiences!!
