It’s the sixth week of the Challenge. By this point, you’ve undoubtedly experienced a day that wasn’t your best. You might have even forgotten to score yourself once or twice. So the big question now is: how resilient are you?
Do you pick yourself up by your bootstraps the next morning and forge ahead with the Challenge as if nothing happened? Or do you let your missteps dictate your attitude and ability to progress forward into the upcoming days?
If you’ve been derailed because of some bad choices or a few missed days of entering your score, this is the week to let yourself off the hook and to begin again. Fresh. New. As if you’ve got no reason not to keep going. Because in all honesty, you don’t.
