Week 34/2023 (part 2): Medieval medicine
Week of 21 August 2023 Medieval medicine How it started At the start of the year, I said I wanted to make my 23 for 2023 list into a comfort zone challenge. (If you aren’t familiar with the 23 for 2023 list, I got the idea from Gretchen Rubin...
Challenge 5: Overview
This challenge (30 Days of Fixing What Bugs You) hasn’t really been great in terms of things I’ve actually been able to write about. I haven’t kept much of a record of what I’ve done. I feel like maybe it was a bit abstract to take this on for...
Challenge 4: Year of Fear wrapup
The 30 days of doing something that scares me (or makes me uncomfortable) challenge is over. Activity 28 (Sunday): I bought an adult sized hula hoop because apparently this is a good activity to develop core strength. It’s been on my to-do list for over 12 months, and I...
Challenge 4: Activities 21-27
I think I missed a few days after Day 18 (Thursday) when I did three activities (18-20) and learned about the Edamame Threat. Day 19: I was home with a sick boy, so the thing I had booked to do that day didn’t happen. I had to reschedule. Day...
Challenge 4: Facing Fear Days 15-22
In this challenge I’ve gradually been pushing the boundaries of my comfort zone, so most of my activities have been pretty low on the fear-ometer. A couple of times I’ve tried to do something a bit more scary and haven’t taken the opportunity presented quite as far as I...
Challenge 4: Facing Fear – Days 8-14
I’m not going to write about everything I do this month, but I have done something outside my comfort zone every day this week. Some weren’t very far out, baby steps, so I think maybe i need to start ramping it up a bit in the second half of...
Facing Fear (Challenge 4) – Days 3-7
This has been the first week of the #yearoffear challenge, in which I do one thing a day that scares me or makes me feel uncomfortable. So far I’ve been playing in the shallow end of the pool, so next week it might be time to grab my kick...
Facing Fear: day 2/30
Soooo, yesterday was Day 1 of the Facing Fear 30-day challenge. I decided to start off with something that wasn’t too threatening and decided this would be to wear something I wouldn’t normally wear to work. I normally wear short skirts with bright prints. I buy them from Spiceworld (cough)...
#steppingonthecracks challenge 4: Year of fear
For my second “intense” 30-day challenge I’ve decided to jump on board with Kendra Wright and do a 30-day “Facing Fear” challenge. Kendra is a pretty cool lady who has done some amazing things, and overcome pretty big obstacles to get to where she is now. A few years...
