Daily Risk Challenge

Here I am, celebrating my 50th birthday in September 2018, soaking up the sun on Venice Beach. What an unforgettable trip it was! I vividly recall the moment I decided to capture that picture in my swimsuit, a special purchase from my friend Sonya at Forever Yours Lingerie. Initially, I convinced myself it was for her, but deep down, I knew it was a personal milestone.

Reflecting on that day, I remember the discomfort, the fear of judgment lingering in my mind as I hesitated to be seen in a bathing suit. Yet, I summoned the courage, asked my husband to take the photo, and bravely shared it on my Instagram. It marked the beginning of my daily challenge, a commitment to push my boundaries, boost my confidence, and foster personal growth.

Now, as I stand five years later, those insecurities still linger. It's disheartening that the need to hide persists. Yet, with the dawn of 2024, I welcome a fresh start and embark on a new Daily Risk Challenge. If at first, you don't succeed, try, try again. Here's to overcoming insecurities, embracing vulnerability, and fostering self-love in the year ahead! 

Taking a daily risk promotes personal growth, helps overcome fears, improves creativity, adaptability and aids in building resilience.

It's important to note that not all risks need to be large or dramatic. Taking a daily risk could involve something as simple as expressing an opinion, trying a new activity, or initiating a conversation with someone new. The key is to approach each day with an open mind, a willingness to step outside of familiar routines, and an acceptance of the uncertainty that comes with taking risks.
