Finding Your Self in Your Commitments - I recently completed a "52 Day Nia Challenge" where I made a commitment to either attend a Nia class or teach a Nia class (Nia is a fitness program that consists of dance, martial arts and healing arts) every day for 52 days. It was appropriately called a "challenge" as I figured out how to plan my schedule (even with my traveling) to make sure I could attend a class every day.
