It's a fact that to live life to the full you need to know how to live in the moment. Projecting yourself into the future, living in expectation or even living vicariously are states of being that it's best to let go of in order to live happily. Expedition is a way of reconnecting with yourself, getting to know yourself better and living in the present moment.
The present moment can be experienced in many ways: over a drink with friends, during a romantic moment or even during a hot bath. The key is to realise the importance of the moment and to say to yourself that you wouldn't want to trade this moment for any other moment in the future.
The expedition: reconnecting with yourself
Before wanting to live fully in the present moment. It's important to get to know yourself. To explore yourself, you have to leave your comfort zone. Expedition is one of the many ways of achieving this. Reconnecting with yourself is a time for asking yourself the right questions, such as "What makes me happy?", "What do I love most about my life at the moment?", "Who would I like to spend more time with?
We try to understand what's important to us so that we can act in accordance with our convictions.
Adventure sports to connect body and mind
Some sports help to generate awareness of the body and movement. This typically happens in sports where a high level of concentration is required. This is where you explore what your mental and physical limits and barriers are. By approaching these limits and overcoming your fears, you learn a little more about yourself. It is this learning that allows you to grow. As far as I'm concerned, it's cliff climbing and ridge climbing that create this osmosis between body and mind. Here's an article on surpassing yourself in mountaineering .
Bonding a group through expeditions
During an expedition, you get to know each other, just as you get to know your expedition companions. Experiencing great moments with them - not necessarily easy moments, but great moments - creates strong bonds.
Living in the moment
When you're out in nature, watching wild animals, huge glaciers or magnificent mountains, you can live the moment to the full. These are moments you don't want to trade for any other.
