If you have been single for a while, it might be worth avoiding the norm and doing something wild as 66% of adults prefer someone who has a sense of adventure, according to Nissan. Not only is this an attractive quality but it also can lead to greater happiness and a healthier lifestyle too. Two thirds of Brits seek adventure and 61% yearn to be more adventurous.
Relationships on Female First
Psychologist Matt Walker has suggested that adventure in relationships comes down to a simple formula resulting in fun. Fun comes from a combination of passion, a unique experience, great companionship and being present in the moment. All you need to keep clear of is the ‘ordinary’ for this to work.
Passion shows enthusiasm that is addictive, so it brings out your best.
A unique experience warrants a memorable occasion with an uncertain outcome.
Great companionship is down to friends and family offering their support of you to do your best.
Being present in the moment is important to fully engage with the activity, without being distracted by outside influences. Avoiding the ordinary means that you are steering clear of what’s comfortable, familiar and predictable.
Matt Walker, who is also a world-class mountain climber, comments: “The true meaning of adventure can be different for everyone but this formula highlights that whether it’s a night's camping or trying out a new sport, adventure is a key element of human experience that we can all engage in - one that can make us all happier and healthier.It is clear from the research that leading a more adventurous lifestyle is not only enjoyable but can also be beneficial for your health and wellbeing, ultimately, making you a happier person.”
47% of Brits think that adventure is ‘doing something they have never done before’ to get more enjoyment and excitement out of life as well as to escape from the mundane of everyday life.
Many avoid trying the world of the adrenaline junkie for fear of the cost and so Brits feel held back by the astronomical prices attached to such activates more than they do by fear.
“The challenges of adventure reward us with a more realistic perspective on the rest of our lives. While ordinary life can sometimes feel difficult, engaging in adventure increases our ability to handle everyday life’s ups and downs. Additionally, adventure offers an opportunity to bring your best self forward and increases confidence.”
