Challenge: No cursing for any reason.
I f***ed this one up. Swearing has become a common part of my vernacular. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. It just is. I try not to swear around anyone who I know would be offended by it. But other than that, I just don't give a s**t. That said, it's probably good to practice restraint and discipline of the tongue. It was very difficult, especially since I played a round of golf and two nights of softball this week. I swear more in competition.
I ended up with a total of 15 swears for the week. Most times, I would remember the challenge immediately after swearing.
Take-aways
1. Trying to be even-keel in sporting activities is difficult, but has allowed me to enjoy golf more.
2. I think I swear because I feel a need to show and release frustration. Holding my tongue makes me feel better about myself after competition.
3. I do not think I will stop swearing, but will try to limit it in competitions.
NEXT WEEK'S CHALLENGE: FINISH A BOOK
