1 . Four activities to take you out of your comfort zone, and increase your confidence.

Camping

Whether it’s at a professional campsite, or just in your back garden, taking a weekend away from technology and spending time with loved ones - or just you - can bring you a real sense of freedom. You’ll realize how little you really need.

Cooking Class

You could go with a friend to ease you in, or make new ‘foodie’ friends there - search for classes in your local area online. Or, if attending a class might be a few steps too far for you, you can still breathe some life into your tried and tested kitchen favorites by exploring new recipes.

Clubbercise

Group exercise classes can have many benefits, but personally I’ve always found the concept terrifying. But the great thing about Clubbercise classes is that you can enjoy them in the dark! There are no eyes on you if you miss a step, so you can completely let loose and have fun - who doesn’t feel better after dancing?

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing helps to develop your problem-solving skills as you navigate your way up the wall. Plus, rock climbing is quite an accessible activity. As “seeing the route” is less important than “feeling” your way up or keeping balance, it can be great for those with visual problems.
