5 Adventures to go on when you're feeling stuck

Sometimes all we need is a little push out the door.

Venture Forth! For those in need of a mild adventure

We don't need to go sky diving or spend thousands on travel. We just got a little stuck in a rut and need bit of help. Or maybe, just maybe, two years of pandemic living has made going out in the world a little nerve-wracking.

If you have noticed that your anxiety level is preventing you from feeling your best

Here is a game I've developed just for you.

Venture Forth: the game for those in need of a mild adventure

Here are 5 destinations, 5 quests, and 5 objects. Use a random number generator to pick which from each category to do today! So for example - if I chose the number 2, I'd go somewhere with music, take a journal with me, and make sure to wink at a toddler!

Let the mild adventure begin!
