My 30-Day Blogging Challenge

     Someone, not too long ago, introduced me to 30-Day Challenges, specifically a squatting challenge. I'm not sure that doing up to 150 squats in a row necessarily made a big difference in my glutes but the challenge did teach me something.  When you make a commitment to do something, anything and stick to it, it feels pretty darn good at the end.  It's a great way to move through the stuff that absolutely needs to be done but it's, also, a great way to try something new and expand yourself.  You must be realistic in your expectations, though. If you're honest with yourself, you'll know if you can get through your challenge, before you even begin, or if you're setting yourself up for failure.  Don't be afraid to push yourself a little.

     So far, I've done a Squatting Challenge, Crunch Challenge(fail), Listening to an Album Challenge, Learning to Play the Guitar Challenge(problems with no calluses on fingers). None of these challenges have convinced me to continue every day but I am exercising regularly (I'd forgotten how good it feels), I am listening to a variety of music and still listen to an entire album when I can and I've decided to continue with the guitar challenge, for at least another 30 days to get those calluses in place.  So, for the month of July, I've set myself 3 challenges.  Every day, I will be blogging, learning German, and learning to play the guitar.

     I think that my biggest challenge will be the blogging but I'm looking forward to it. I can't promise that all entries will be entertaining or thought provoking but I will try my best to keep it as engaging as possible so that you'll want to see what comes next.  Why don't you try your own 30-Day Challenge and let me know about it.

Tschüs!
