I want to welcome everyone who has decided to kick it with the Adventurers during this challenging time. We do our best to keep it positive here, but this is always a safe space for you to share your struggles, your concerns, your frustrations. This really is a scary time for everyone because it's unprecedented. But we can make it through this.

 

This is an opportunity to really boost your mental health, to practice such things as solitude, quiet, meditation, journaling, finally reading that stack of books you've been neglecting, or even to start writing a book of your own. Listen to podcasts, watch some documentaries, play music loudly and dance in your living room, sing at the top of your lungs.

 

This is also an opportunity to rethink your physical health. For some of you, the gym was part of your routine, and you worked hard to build that routine. Maybe you weren't much of a gym person before, and it was hard for you to build that habit. And now, gyms and fitness centers are closed, and you're routine is all messed up, just as you were beginning to actually enjoy the gym and see it as a welcoming place that encouraged your fitness journey. I get it, trust me. But now, you have an opportunity to rethink ways to keep your body in shape. You have the opportunity to get creative with ways to work out. It is also an opportunity to reflect on functional fitness, preparing your body for real-life movements.

 

The Adventurers are here to help, to answer questions, offer tips and advice, or just to listen to your concerns. Let us know if we can help in any way.

This is seconded. For anyone new to our guild, there are a lot of us who are not terribly gym-oriented but who have found ways to train at home and in nature. We’re happy to have people here, whether they are looking to problem solve, vent, improve their mental health and/or diet, shoot the breeze, or just about anything else. 
 

In any case, we always seek the adventure and wonder in life, which is often a lot closer to home than we realize.

Hello all. *waves*  Getting back into the groove.  I made my challenge:

And part of the theme is needing 4 Trading Allies if anyone would like to be one.

Yeah, a buddy recommended this, as well. Might see if my neighbor has one I can borrow.

The Great Reading Thread of 2023

“I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.

Adventurers look like a lot of other guilds, but it’s that spirit of adventure that helps define us. 
 

We’re kinda like Gryffindor in that way.

I agree with Sciread™️ To me adventuring is more of a philosophy* than anything else. It's that state of mind where you wonder about where the road goes -- and since in the end there's only one road anyway, your curiosity can take you on grand adventures even right outside your door.

Here's to that #adventurerlife!

 

* At least that's what I tell myself. It CERTAINLY has nothing to do with the fact that I find lifting unpleasant and running painful, or that the very thought of something like an OCR or CrossFit makes me woozy. Really. My lack of discipline has nothing to do with it at all :lol: Good thing other members of this guild are such badasses!
