in transit vit C serum

As a society, we've grown too accustomed to seeking comfort and sticking to routines we know we can manage. When things change, we are increasingly prone to stress and our mental health is suffering as a result. We are losing our resilience – our ability to accept uncertainty and to know that we can deal with it, and this is affecting our day-to-day lives.

There are few better ways to improve our resilience than through adventure. In fact, the very nature of adventure is that it is uncertain and that it has a degree of perceived risk – it is supposed to take you out of your ‘comfort zone’. This isn’t to say that we need to be scaling mountains or steering down grade 5 rapids; we all have our own ‘stretch zone’! It might simply be going for a walk in an unfamiliar place, or getting on a paddle board for the first time, or riding a bike on a bumpy track. It really doesn’t matter, as long as we continue to demonstrate to ourselves that we can deal with things that are unfamiliar. The more we do, the more confident we become in ourselves, and the more resilient we are in our daily lives. Belinda Kirk refers to this as the ‘Adventure Effect’. The Outward Bound programme was started on this basis, intended to develop resilience in young men destined for the Merchant Navy, with a view to enhancing their ability to overcome adversity. The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Army Adventurous Training and many other programmes followed suit, and all survive to this day. Countless studies and interventions continue to show that outdoor adventure equips us with the tools we need to be better at our jobs, better students, better parents and, ultimately, better people.
