Today I begin the 43rd consecutive #Coach4adayChallenge and it is going to involve CURIOSITY.
My goal is to embrace curiosity as a daily habit, it is most surely going to open doors to new ideas, perspectives, and opportunities.
Why Curiosity?
Curiosity fuels our intellectual development. By asking questions and seeking answers, we expand our knowledge and deepen our understanding of the world. It leads us to explore diverse subjects, pushing the boundaries of our comfort zones and broadening our horizons. Each day brings new opportunities to learn something fascinating and unexpected.

July 1st Curiosity Question-Sneezing
My daily question for July 1st is “Why do I sneeze when I go outside into bright sunlight?
For as long as I can remember when I go outside into bright sunlight, I have a strong tendency to sneeze. It happens winter, spring, summer, and fall. Well, I found out that I may not be all that unique.
July 1st Answer
Sneezing when exposed to sunlight is known as the photic sneeze reflex or the “ACHOO syndrome” (Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome).
The exact cause of the photic sneeze reflex is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a result of crossed signals in the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for sensations in the face, including the nose. When bright light stimulates the optic nerve, which carries visual information, it can also inadvertently trigger the trigeminal nerve, leading to a sneeze response.
It is estimated that around 18 to 35 percent of the population may have this reflex to some degree. It often runs in families, suggesting an inherited predisposition. The great news it may make you unique but has very little health risk. Does anyone else have this reaction to sunlight?
So, if you hear me sneeze in the sunlight remember to say ACHOO not “Gesundheit“
