Why is challenge good

Although I have been blogging weekly for over two years, I am more confident about my writing. Blogging for business is an important skill so thank you Sarah for the challenge. If you have not done it why not join the 30 Day Blogging Challenge. What an excellent review of the challenge Janice and all the things you have learnt. The support in this group is amazing and a big cheer for Sarah and Kevin for all the help they have given to us all.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts and like you have discovered many more people with blogs who I would not have found without this challenge. Looking forward to reading more of your work.

It might be hard to believe that we can feel positive in the middle of a problem but it is possible! The rewards you receive from overcoming challenges enhance the positive experience of feeling good. As you overcome your challenges and feel good, you are also able to experience more joy in your life. You gain an appreciation for doing ordinary chores like washing the dishes, grocery shopping, and cleaning the house.

Sometimes my office gets cluttered with piles of paperwork on my desk and drying racks filled with clean clothes waiting for me to put them away. At the same time, there can be piles of dirty clothes in my closet and the shelves on in my refrigerator are bare. Avoiding your chores can diminish your motivation to do anything.

Denial creates a dark cloud to hang over your head all day. Unfinished business depresses you and keeps you from doing things you enjoy.

You will even wonder why you waited so long. Overcoming hardships makes you stronger. After succeeding, you gain strength and confidence that you can overcome anything.

In my book, Eight Fingers and Eight Toes , I wrote about many of my challenges as I was facing them with fear and uncertainty. My readers walk with me from these moments of self-doubt through my journey to becoming a stronger and more confident person.

During one of the stories in my book, I was describing to one of my customers how good I was feeling after a challenging run with multiple problems. I feel light and unburdened from worries at the moment. It feels similar to enjoying a ray of sunshine. I know the warmth and brightness from the ray that is momentarily coming through the clouds will not last, so I am soaking it up while it is here, enjoying it, relishing how it feels.

I was able to feel incredible joy, even though minutes after that conversation, I received a phone call from my son, Logan, who was in trouble and needed my help. The more joy you feel, the stronger you feel. The more powerful you feel, the more you gain additional rewards. At that time, we had recently met and gone on a couple of dates.

During the same time, he had gone out a few times with a woman who was a Miss America Runner-up and attending college. While on a plane, my husband told a man sitting next to him about the two women he was dating. Boy did hearing this story build my self-confidence and help me appreciate my experiences of overcoming many hardships. When you feel stronger and more confident, especially in controlling your life and claiming your rights, you feel empowered.

You feel more like you have influence and can make an impact. Feeling stronger benefits you by giving you the motivation to take action. Motivated action creates results. Having self-trust means that you believe you can take care of your personal needs and safety. Most importantly, it means that as you face situations in your life, you trust yourself to handle them.
