In November 2025, many of us will be taking part in the 30-Day Human Condition Coach4aday Challenge. “Human conditions” can refer to the wide range of physical, mental, emotional, and social experiences that define our lives. Each day we will spotlight or describe those experiences. I am going to use this challenge to dive into a book called “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows” written by John Koenig. It provides the readers words for feelings or human conditions we might be hard to describe. My condition for today is PLATA RASA.
In 2025 we purchased a new dishwasher for our kitchen. When I researched the definition Plata Rasa I discovered that I had a new way to describe the different noises it emits versus our older model. It is just the lulling sound our new one makes with a little more mechanical overtones that the one we got in 1999.
Human Condition-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to sharing something about a Human Condition during the month of November.
- Record or Describe a Human Condition. Try, if possible, to provide an example
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
If you need help in clarifying Human Conditions here are some examples
November 14th-Plata Rasa
As an elementary school student in a parochial school we got exposed to several words in Latin. As soon as I saw Plata I immediately knew it meant plate. Rasa I wasn’t as sure of but thought it might be related to remove which is pretty close to rinse, scrape, or wipe clean.
Never knew that people used dishwasher white noise soundtracks to go to sleep. Rock on Plata Rasa.
