Whose race are you racing?  Are you keeping pace with yourself or do you constantly find yourself comparing your stride to those to the left and right of you?

Here’s this week’s DesignHer Challenge, based on last week’s DesignHer Living column. Click here if you missed it or need a refresher

This week’s challenge is all about facing the ‘uglies’  on the left and right that are trying to keep you off the track.  I know it won’t be pretty but make a list of the uglies that keep you from getting off the sidelines and, more importantly, the uglies that keep you from lacing up your sneakers and running the race of your dreams?

Now that you have your ‘ugly list,’ imagine what your life would look like and what it would feel like if you didn’t listen to those uglies when they reared their ugly head.   What would your life look like and how would your heart feel if you instead went in the direction that the announcer was calling you? 

This week make a decision to do just that and tear up that ‘ugly list’ because it’s just that, ugly.
