Do you challenge your self?
Do you test your abilities or engage in competitions?
I often challenge myself without engaging in competitions with other people. I like testing my own abilities at work or during my workout routine without pushing too hard. I used to test myself more often at work than I do now. I prefer undertaking small physical challenges now and I when I see the results I feel really good.
My Pilates workout is getting more difficult and demanding. I am able to do much more than a few months ago and A, my trainer, constantly asks me to do more. I'm making progress and I'm considering a big challenge (n. 1) which might entail a shift in my life. I don't like dealing with radical shift (remember Australia?). This is not going to be radical but it could imply many changes. We will see, I'll be silent about it as I haven't decided anything yet.
And then there's another challenge (n.2) on the horizon. This has to do with work. No, I'm not going anywhere! If I go for it, I'll spend most of the summer writing in English. I strongly hope this is going to happen but, alas, it's not for me to decide. All I can to do is thinking, submitting a proposal and waiting.
Easy is boring, isn't it?
Taking on challenges is more exciting.
HI LOLA - oh how I admire your youthful enthusiasm! :-) And yes, challenges are driving forces that bring out the best (and sometimes the worst) in us. I challenge myself these days, to do and or be or keep on keeping on......no race with the rollator, ya know?

Hi gail,
ReplyDeleteit's true: sometimes challenges bring out the worst!
I'm sure it's not your case though :-)
