Everyday Adventures

MISSION, KS--(Marketwire - Aug 8, 2011) - (Family Features) As a former professional BMX rider and host of MTV's "The Challenge," TJ Lavin knows about adventure. But TJ says being adventurous isn't limited to extreme sports. He has teamed up with SOYJOY to encourage you to make your life a little more adventurous. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Put yourself out there. Think of something you haven't done before, maybe even something that scares you a little bit, and try it. It definitely gets the heart pumping.
• Expand your horizons. Take a trip to a place you've always wanted to visit. If traveling's not possible, TJ suggests spending a night at a nearby campground.
• Learn something new. Stimulating the brain with new information actually helps your brain perform better. So take a class in something you've always been interested in.
• Be a tourist in your own hometown. Take a different route to work, ride your bike instead of driving, or spend the afternoon in a neighborhood you haven't visited before.
• Get more social. Strong social connections are good for your overall health and well-being. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to new people.

You'll get more out of life when you refuse to settle for the same old, same old. SOYJOY is the perfect balanced snack to fuel you through life's adventures. So put a little adventure into every day. And keep an eye on SOYJOY's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/soyjoy, for more expert advice.
