A recap of days 31-40 of the Vibrant Badass 100 adventure. Let me know how you are doing with the prompts so far! Sixty more days to go! Excited to see all the adventures we can share over the next few months!
Day 31 – Go outside your comfort zone with food. Pleasure your palette. There are lots of ways to do this like ordering the most exotic thing on a menu, trying a food you have never eaten before, or attempting a recipe that intimidates you.
Day 32 – Find your favorite form of water. Soak it in. This might be a beach, lake, pool, bath, hot tub or something else. Mine is the beach and I love being around the waves. Most of my vacations involve time at the beach!
Day 33 – Go on an extra long walk. Stretch your legs. Go somewhere cool to explore or take a big loop around your neighborhood. You could give yourself a step or distance goal or just go until you start to get tired. Enjoy the scenery on your walk.
Day 34 – Learn about food/wine. Learn the story. The world of food and wine is fascinating and there is a never ending amount of information to absorb. For food you can learn about the farms and companies that make the food. With wine, from the growing of the grapes to the harvest and production, you can learn the nuances of different varietals.
Ideas on how to complete this one –
- Visit a winery or vineyard
- Watch a cooking show
- Pick your favorite company and research their history
- Read the About page for a brand you love
- Grab a book about a food/wine related topic of interest
Last week in Napa Valley, my husband and I visited the Cakebread Cellars for a tasting. I loved seeing where the wine is made and learning about the aging process as well as the history of the company. Cakebread had its first vintage in 1973 so will be celebrating 50 years next year!
Day 35 – Look up at the stars. Wherever you are in the world tonight, take a moment to look up at the sky above you and see some stars. Wishing you a clear night with lots of bright stars. If you want to know what some of the stars are you could download an app like SkyView Lite that shows you what is visible from your point on the planet. You might even be able to see some other planets like Jupiter or Mars!
Day 36 – Do something festive. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.
Some ideas for this one:
- Listen to Christmas music
- Drive around to see lights
- Decorate your home
- Watch cheesy rom-coms
- Get dressed up
- Go ice skating
- Find a Christmas pop-up bar
- Drink hot chocolate
- Make a gingerbread house
- Play in the snow
- Kiss under mistletoe
Day 37 – look back through pics from this year. Think about all that has happened and how far you have come! Level up this one by texting the people who were with you in some of your favorite moments! I’m so incredibly thankful for 2022 and all the fun times it contained. Excited for 2023 and what is to come!
Day 38 – Breakfast for dinner. Cook something fun. Pancakes, waffles, bacon and eggs. Whatever your faves are!
Day 39 – Do a fun winter activity. Play outside in the cold. If you have snow by you, there are lots of options like snowball fights, building a snowman, snow shoeing, or taking a beautiful walk. Last winter, one of my favorite days was walking on the frozen lake in Wisconsin. Think about things you can’t do other times of the year and pick your favorite to do. Another option would be to do something that comforts you during this season if you don’t love it so much like cuddling up with a good book, drinking hot chocolate or making a big batch of chili.
Do you love or hate winter? What are things you like to do to enjoy this season?
Day 40 – Make a 23 in 23 list. Write down 23 things you want to do or accomplish in 2023. You can add one time accomplishments, ongoing goals or habits you want to pick up. Think about the fun things you want to do next year and the the not so fun but necessary things that help you grow as a human. This one is inspired by Gretchen Rubin and Liz Craft who cohost the Happier podcast! Let me know what goes on your list.
Cheers to 40 days down!
