In order to strengthen our personal foundation we have to be open to challenging ourselves. I love to kayak and yesterday I paddled further than I ever had. It was a beautiful peaceful Memorial Day morning. What I realized was that so many times before I had said to myself: that is far enough, maybe I will get tired, time to turn around. The limits I set where based on my own assessment of my capabilities. It felt good to go as far as I wanted and to trust myself to have the energy to make it safely back.
Today I am beginning a 30 day blog challenge with Jeannette Cates. For the next thirty days I will be writing a daily blog. I have done two previous challenges with my mentor Connie Green. The last challenge ended mid May. You can visit http://www.rekindleyourrelationships.com/relationships and read what I wrote about rekindling relationships. What I learned about myself was that little things can keep me frustrated and stuck. Since I was about to go out of town I could not figure out how to pre-schedule blog posts and published 6 articles all in one day. What was great about the challenge was that it forced me to become clear in my thinking and writing and to discipline myself.
If we want to feel great about ourselves and our relationships we need a solid foundation. Over the next 30 days I will be sharing ideas and tools for building a strong personal foundation.
