If you're joining us for the challenge this year, congratulations! Over the month of February, we hope you will take your wellness to a new level. And not just by doing an activity for a month. The big idea, really, is that the experience will cement the idea of WELLNESS into your thinking - all the time.
So, your challenge needs to be at least a bit fun, and it should be a challenge that pushes you a bit out of your comfort zone. It should be difficult enough that, when you look back on it, you will be able to say you accomplished something.
I may have said this in the past, but I really believe we don't get our self-esteem from participation ribbons; we get self-esteem from accomplishments, from achieving something. Our mission should be to always be working to achieve something meaningful and which just exceeds our grasp, to paraphrase Robert Browning. So if I were to sum it up, it would go like this:
Accomplishment requires effort.
Effort requires motivation.
Motivation requires determination.
Determination is guided by attitude.
Attitude is a decision.
I hope that through this February challenge, your attitude will point toward taking your wellness more seriously. 27 days to go!

Brilliant. I may quote you in the future on this one. I especially like ‘we don’t get self esteem from participation ribbons’.
