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 WILDRED.
There have been times in my life where I encountered the “Human Condition” of Wildred. My encounters have occurred in National Parks like Yellowstone, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and even in Gettysburg PA. When you read the definition, you realize that sometimes solitude can bring about a certain feeling of anxiety just as easy as tranquility.
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 8th-Wildred
Three summers ago, my wife and I hike the Natural Bridge Trail in Yellowstone. The first part of that trail was in a forest and about .5 miles in an eerie silence fell over the trail. The sun was shining thru the hemlocks and the quiet and shadows gave me the feeling we were not alone. In short order the forest gave way to a service road, and the condition of “Wildred” I was feeling was gone as quick as it came upon me.
