Things That Go Bump Micro Objective - DIY - 50

Quest Scouts inspires your to squeeze the most out of life while collecting real-life, physical badges.

Objective:

Identify a small fear that has been holding you back and face it.

Details:

The Things That Go Bump DIY objective asks you to choose a BIG fear and tackle it. For this micro objective, we’ll tackle something smaller.

Our fears, whether consciously or subconsciously, dictate our behaviors. Often times that’s a good thing! Fear can keep us safe, after all. But sometimes fear holds us back from doing what we want in life.

1) Take a few minutes to write a list of actions you should be doing, but have been procrastinating.

2) Scan your list, and identify which of these actions you’ve been putting off, at least in part, due to fear.

3) Choose a single item, one of the least scary on the list, and tackle it. Have that slightly awkward conversation! Make that doctor’s appointment! Finally make eye contact with that attractive barista!

Note: If your activities feel too big, can you break them down into smaller parts. Instead of “Go to the doctor,” maybe you could research a doctor to go to, or call to make an appointment.

4) In the comments below, let us know what you tackled.

Things That Go Bump Micro Objective - Art - 50

Quest Scouts inspires your to squeeze the most out of life while collecting real-life, physical badges.

Objective:

Create "Index Card Art" inspired by the provided prompt.

Details:

This micro quest is part of our ongoing series, "index card art." We chose index cards for two reasons. First, index cards are inexpensive and readily available. We don't expect that it will be difficult for any of you to procure an index card. Second, many who don't consider themselves "artists" tend to stress about creating or sharing art. Using an index card instead of a sketch book lends itself to silliness. Have fun with the prompt! We're not looking for perfection, just a good time. You can save your index cards and look back at them over time, or throw them away. The choice is up to you!

1) Gather your supplies. You'll need an index card (4x6 or 5x7) and something to draw with. (Pencil, pen, markers... you get the point!)

2) Interpret the prompt below to make your index card art.

What does fear look like?

3) Take a photo of your art and share it on Instagram or Twitter with the tag #QuestScouts. Alternatively, you can also share your art in our Facebook group.
