Challenge: Go to a Zumba class
This may seem like the same challenge as a few days ago, but in my brain it was extremely different. The dance class was with people and in an environment that I was completely comfortable with, the Zumba class was with total strangers in a public gym! A lot of the tasks for this challenge were physical tasks. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, that's because I needed to remind myself that I have an amazing body that is strong and beautiful, and also I need to be doing more things to take care of my body. These physical challenges also pushed me mentally and emotionally. They helped me to remember that I can do hard things if I put my mind to it. They helped me remember that people aren't nearly as judgy as I fear they are. And they helped me remember that when I do something physical I feel better mentally.
Zumba was very fun, but it was also very nerve-wracking for me. If I ever attend a class again, I will not be going alone. I will, however, be doing more of this type of exercise in my very private living room.
