Finding What Works: Sign Up for a New Challenge

Sign Up for a New Challenge: Photo of a door with the phrase, "Be brave enough to be bad at something new."Signing up for a new challenge goes back to the accountability aspect in a way by promising yourself that you’re going to do something. Whether you care about winning or not, signing up for some sort of wellness challenge, race or event can help keep you motivated and on track. It also doesn’t hurt to sometimes have some skin in the game if the challenge is costing you a sign-up fee. Try something new, even if there is the possibility that you might fail. Whether you sign up for a 5k, obstacle course race, marathon, GORUCK Challenge, Triathlon, Savage Race, walking challenge, CrossFit competition, etc., find something that is going to get you moving and potentially keep you motivated along the way. So, what have you always wanted to do but just haven't done it? Find that "something" and then register!
