In case you missed an earlier post, I’m participating in Jon Acuff’s #DOSummer2015 Challenge , which is a challenge to spend 25 hours of the summer honing or learning a new skill. I decided to go with the classic resolution of working out more. (Original, I know.) Acuff has created a Facebook group to serve as fellow cheerleaders in this challenge and has also created a calendar for participants to track their hours. Right now, I’m at about four hours total. 
As part of this challenge, Acuff also sends out weekly pep talks, and the pep talk from this week was a reminder to “not confuse confidence with skills.” At the moment, I don’t think I’m particularly skilled at rollerblading (I nearly wiped out three or four times yesterday); however, my confidence level is growing. So, I suppose that is the main lesson I’m getting out of this DO Summer Challenge: I may not be doing 100 push-ups a day, but I haven’t totally eaten the ground yet when rollerblading or biking. Always something to celebrate, right?
