Challenges & Growth.

 

Dear Aspen reader,

#RiseAndShine

Our society is full of challenges. Weight loss challenges, food prep challenges, and even social media challenges. In most of these instances it seems that we are willing participants, making the choice to engage. But what about the challenges that arise due to health, finances or relationships and those that seem to pull us in without our permission?

Each of us differs in how we handle difficult situations. Research shows that we fall into categories or tendencies, based on personality. Some of us will try to avoid any discomfort that a challenge might bring while others push forward head first into the darkness.

Whether it's big or small - simple or complex – I urge you to look at every challenge as an opportunity to grow. Don’t be intimidated by the circumstances attached to the challenge and don’t give the circumstances more attention than what they require. Don't  allow discouragement to engulf you, but choose to stay positive and use every detail as an opportunity for increase in your life and in the lives of others!

Stay open to challenges and look at them as opportunities rather than complications; seeking the best every step of the way.

 

In health,
Alecia
