Keep challenging yourself

In my growing up I have always been very comfortable with my environment. I have never put myself in any challenging situation. When I say challenging it does not mean the life challenges, it's about challenges related to physical endurance where I can push myself beyond my limits. So much that I would never even sit in a rides like roller coaster in an adventure park. I have been way too careful with my physical body. But then this thought was also there simultaneously, why am I so protective about myself. Why I do not allow myself to be exposed to challenging environment? And at one stage of life I decided to get little bold with myself and try out things which have never been in my comfort zone and challenge my physical self.

The first step towards it was to build up my physical capacity for that because if I want to do something, then physical strength is also important. I cannot be foolish to just venture out without any preparations. Yoga and other fitness regimes did help me build up on my physical strength. After which I started going on treks and some were difficult and harsh. I started exposing myself to more and more of natural environment and I felt so much better with it, like I had found a whole new level of confidence. I was scared of diving because I cannot swim, I even did that. Anything that my body said no, I wanted to challenge it. Eventually I did the Everest Base Camp trekking and that was the ultimate for me. I have also been very finicky about cold weather, so I have put myself in extreme weather conditions where I can challenge my own tolerance limits.

Will I be more adventurous in future? I am not sure of this but that's for sure I am not going to lie low in my comfort zone. I feel that it's good to keep challenging yourself, the more you do the more you discover the hidden parts of you. We under estimate our capabilities; the fact is that we can do much more then we can think of. It's all in the mind. When the mind decides then it can achieve anything. Life is a golden one-time opportunity and to let it pass without achieving anything is a waste of life. Our tolerance level will be that much as much as we decide it to be.
