Challenge yourself to do a bit more

Challenge yourself to do a bit more

It's good from time to time to challenge ourselves by making a change and doing a bit more than we usually do.  Recently for me that meant going to a different locations with a walking group to go a bit farther and enjoy walking around a lake or by the seaside.

For you it might mean something different in your exercise or activity routine.  You may even want to go hiking, climb a mountain or lift weights.  I'm still trying to get used to light weights myself.

Anyway here are some reasons to change things up:

• our bodies get used to the same routine and it may become less effective
• our minds get bored doing the same thing in the same place
• going a bit further or faster or higher we can get fitter
• its inspiring to get out to a change of scenery and new experiences
• its helpful to socialise to learn and take our minds off our routine
• we can gradually test ourselves to see how much more we are capable of
• it gives us something new to look forward to sometimes
• whilst our usual exercise may be enough its good to have fun too
• trying some new activity may be just what you need
• variety is the spice of life and you never know what you'll discover
• I myself have really enjoyed taking photos of the wildlife as well
