Challenges come in many forms

Challenges come in many forms: positive and challenging. I lean toward the positive ones, creating my own manner of ‘winning the day.’

Over the past 46 days, I virtually rode my bicycle, ran, and walked from one end of the Colorado River to the other along the Grand Canyon in 44 outings. It was a challenge I took on to hold myself accountable for my exercise, health, and overall mental wellness. My goal was 280 miles in 84 days.  (see www.theconqueror.events/grandcanyon) The outcome was positive and exciting. I won the day!

I’m a lover of warm weather, that’s not a secret. I’ve lived in some hot places: California, Hawaii, and Abu Dhabi and never complained or kvetched about the warmth. Now, back in Texas, I  am experiencing Winter and its cold, windy days. While I love Texas in the Summer, I can’t say I’m loving wearing coats, gloves, and scarves. To me, that is a challenging challenge. However, I overcome my distaste by wearing purple.

 

Starting each day with a positive mindset is the method to my madness.

How do you maneuver challenges? Any tips and tricks?

Stay well. Stay warm. Stay challenged.
