There is a spinning class that I go to and the instructor always talks about having an intention for the ride. It can be anything from just making it through the ride or de-stressing for the coming day. But I think that this is an important to have a goal for the rest of the class. You wake up early to go to the class and why not put forth your best effort possible towards the goals you really want.
This is why I think its very important to have an intention(s) for burning man. I don't want to set the bar too high and then not meet my expectations, but I want a purpose. My goal is to broaden my horizons and do things that are not typical of the person I have been for the last 27 years. I want to be open to new experiences and not scared to try new things. I want to try to not judge people, which will go with changing from the person I have been. In short I want to be open to what Burning Man has to offer.
All too often we get ourselves into a rut and think that just because things are the way they are now that it will never change. Well that line of thinking is false. The world is constantly changing and evolving, so why not embrace it?
I think the biggest thing for me is that because was so sheltered, I stray away from pushing the envelope and just stick to what I know, which I really hope I can break out of at Burning Man. I am not saying im going to go and be tripped out on drugs for the next 10 days. I am saying I want to see what else there is out there for me and expand my scope for a bit. I think it will help that my boyfriend will be by my side because I feel like he is a good person to be in this with. He is good about trying to get me to try new things and experience life and he is not as scared of everything like I am.
All in all I hope to have a great trip and hopefully be able to make a cool vlog with the footage!
