This is a prompted-notebook to use alongside the questions posed in The Doorstep Mile book. Would you like a more adventurous life? Are you being held back by a lack of time or money ? By fear , indecision, or a feeling of being selfish or an imposter ? Living adventurously is not about cycling around the world or rowing across an ocean. Living adventurously is about the attitude you choose each day. It instils an enthusiasm to resurrect the boldness and curiosity that many of us lose as adults. Whether at work or home, taking the first step to begin a new venture is daunting. If you dream of a big adventure, begin with a microadventure. This is the Doorstep Mile, the hardest part of every journey. The Doorstep Mile will reveal why you want to change direction, what’s stopping you, and how to build an adventurous spirit into your busy daily life. Dream big, but start small.
