The Pushup Challenge Continues!
Day 45 = 4500 Push Ups to Date!
The pushup challenge continues! It started out as a Challenge for the month of May and has evolved into a continual challenge up to the Retreats! What do push ups have to do with recovery? (see Episode 187 of the Table Podcast for more on that) I asked myself that same question! Until the challenge began, I thought, “no way can I do 100 pushups per day for the month of May”. But as we began, the striking similarities between this Challenge & Recovery became very clear. Obviously self-care is a key component. But the camaraderie that started, the community that evolved and the growth of a daily accomplishment, together day by day for the common goal of health and healing. Yes the task, aka the ‘Challenge”, seemed insurmountable and extremely difficult – 31 days 3100 pushups – taking it one day at a time, piece by piece it slowly became evident that this is possible in manageable bite size nuggets! So if you think that the Mountain of Recovery is too tall to climb, think again. With a committed decision, community & desire you can achieve that goal of health and healing from addiction, one day at a time, one moment at a time! Continue doing the next right thing!
If you feel that the mountain is too tall or the valley too wide, make a call and then make a plan!
