I have decided to take small risks on a daily basis (for the danger/action feeling), but I have trouble finding specific examples. What are interesting small-scale risks to take? (give as many examples as possible)

  • Talk to a stranger
  • Don't use a GPS
  • Try a new food/restaurant
  • If you usually drive, try getting somewhere on public transit
  • Sign up for a Coursera class (that's actually happening, so you have the option to be graded.) (Note: this will be a small risk on a daily basis for many consecutive days)
  • Go to a meetup at a library or game store

Another transport one: if you regularly go to the same place, experiment with a different route each time.

Ain't most forms of that less dangerous (per mile) than driving? (Then again, certain people have miscalibrated aliefs about that.)
