It’s 11:26 PM on a Wednesday night and I’ve been putting off this blog post for the past two weeks. What I’m about to get myself into, I know, will change my life. That’s what challenges and adversity do to you. But that doesn’t take away that knot in the pit on my stomach when I think about the challenge I’m about to take on. 30 days of pushing myself out of my comfort zone. No exceptions. No excuses.
Two years ago, I took on this challenge, and that month was the first time I ever karaoke-d. I swam in the ocean in Los Angelo’s in all my clothes in the middle of the night in January. I went on adventures with strangers, hiked alone in woods that I did not know, and I learned more about myself than I ever imagined.
So the natural question to ask would be- why stop? Why not do it every month? I’ll tell you why. Because as good as it feels to learn and to grow, it also feels good to stay nice and cozy and safe. To live a life of consistency, of predictability- and while those things are great, there comes a time when the routine needs to be broken.
For me, that time has come. So, for each day the next month, I’ll post a blog about what I did that day that, to be honest, I probably didn’t want to do. Maybe it’ll just be a picture. Maybe it’ll be some inspirational lesson I learned. Maybe it’ll be an embarrassing story that I don’t actually want to talk about. All I know is, it’s time for me to figure out what I’m made of. So follow along on my journey- and maybe you’ll get inspired to start your own.
