Day 1

What are your biggest challenges?

I have a goal to write 365 days in 2025. Blogunary will be a good way to kick that off. Some days, I will use the prompts provided, and other days, I’ll have something else to say.

Today’s prompt is very appropriate for the beginning of the year at a time when I (and the rest of the world) are considering intentions/goals, etc. for the year ahead.

My biggest challenge is complacency. As I approach periods of exhaustion, burn out, frustration… I am prone to be complacent about my daily routines and practices.

My second biggest challenge is letting my disability and subsequent limitations overpower my desires. My energy levels with cerebral palsy and diabetes can impact what I am capable of. In times past, I have let that energy level deter me from my goal and things that are good for me. I am better at not letting that get in the way of the things that are good for me, but the pull to come to a complete stop is often very strong.

The other main challenge I will have this year is to forget what I want out of life’s journey. There is something good about going with the flow and doing what needs to be done. Doing that must include intentionality to continue down the path you want to be on and not allow yourself to flow in a direction you do not want to be in.
