A Plan for Failure
Having a plan for failure will lead to a successful day out for your family adventure.
Failing feels like a loss.
Failing gracefully feels like part of the plan all along.
None of us wants to fail when we set out for a day trip adventure with our families, but things don’t always go as planned.
When we imagine a day out with our kids, failure is probably the furthest thing in your mind. So when it happens, we are typically not prepared to deal with any degree of failure. If we aren’t prepared to deal with it, our entire day can quickly spin out of control.
Reasons For Failure
There is an uncountable number of reasons failure can happen, but it might be good to talk about some reasons failure can occur on a day out for an adventure. Once we can identify trouble areas, we can create a plan for dealing with them.
Fatigue
When we don’t allow for adequate rest during our day out, fatigue can take a heavy toll. Fatigue can happen because of a poor night’s sleep, or not allowing enough rest during your adventure. When we are tired, our patience quickly wears thin, and we will snap a lot more easily.
