About My Challenge
I'm completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health in Australia.
I did not publicise this at first, because I didn't have confidence that I would be able to do it. I quickly fell behind schedule, as from the second day each push-up was painful. From the 4th day, as a method to motivate myself, I tried to contemplate the pain that each of those people must have felt to be in the unthinkable place where they could take their own life. This made each simple push-up much easier and hardly painful at all. It started as mind-trick to get through a few days, but has now become a very valuable lesson for me in reflection, perspective and gratitude, and I have no doubt that I will be able to finish.
If you can spare a few $$ for Lifeline, this would be apprecaited.
Every dollar helps #pushforbetter mental health outcomes in Australia by funding much-needed mental health services and initiatives.
