Starting this year, in addition to the Q & A, I’ll offer you some general words of wisdom, or stuff to think about, as you find helpful.

On Challenging Yourself

In various times and seasons in your life you might want to challenge yourself in some way. Or maybe you’re a person like me who always likes to have a small goal or challenge going to keep things interesting.

Why challenge yourself?
It’s fun sometimes to have a goal that’s just for you, just because. To remind yourself that you are a whole person outside your family and/or work. It’s also a reminder that you won’t, and don’t have to be good at everything in your life. It’ll be good for you to do things badly, or imperfectly with absolutely no consequence.

How to challenge yourself?
Here are some ideas:

• Take a class

• Do a DIY home project

• Learn to make something new

• Start a new practice/routine/ritual

Do you also want to challenge yourself in some way?
