April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.
I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day Twenty-Three I want to talk about internally STABLIZING yourself.

“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge
Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.
It looks like this.

April 23rd-Stablizing Your Life
Every one of us will encounter periods of our lives when maybe we are struggling with something emotional, physical, or spiritually. That time is often combined with interacting with people who are experiencing some struggle and need some gentleness in their lives. Possessing a strong moral compass that you have to show up for others can be stabilizing if it is balanced.
Helping others will provide purpose, structure, and a sense that you still matter, even when you don’t feel your best. Acts of service can lift your mood in small but real ways and keep you connected instead of withdrawing. Yet that compassion for others becomes dangerous if our own needs are always pushed to the side.
Our well-being depends on taking care of ourselves first before trying to care for others. If all you do is extend compassion outward without offering any to yourself, you can lose your sense of stability. Over time, you may feel drained, numb, or even quietly resentful—not because you don’t care, but because you’re running on empty.
