So I was talking to my brother about doing a sunrise hike where we wake up at like 4:30 am, grab our hiking gear and tea, climb a mountain and watch a sunrise over the Hudson River. The night before we were going to go, he gave me an out. I was going to have to shovel snow for the upcoming snow storm and he thought I may need to reserve my energy. I texted him back and said he’s right and I shouldn’t go. He then sent me this text. “Early early morning hikes are reminiscent of summiting Kili and Cotopaxi…. it’s just a little bit closer. It also takes us out of our comfort zones…. which is a very good thing!” I immediately responded, “I’m in! When he mentioned about getting out of my comfort zone, I knew I had to do it. It turns out we did the hike and watched a beautiful sunrise as we had tea at 25 degrees. It was great and look forward to doing it again. Soooo, this week I challenge you to see what you could do to go out of your comfort zone and do something to challenge yourself. Good luck and happy living!
