I don't remember what difficult task started it. I was in high school at the time, so it was most likely about standing up to a friend. I brought it up with
my mum who, in her wisdom came up with the idea of
Brave Day, Tuesdays.
She suggested that whatever I found onerous or too hard, I should save up to do on Tuesdays. And then after a while I should do brave things on Wednesdays too, then Thursdays etc until I was being brave every day.
It's been over two decades since then and I still haven't made it the whole week. It appeals to me to have a single day a week to take off my glasses and put on my cape.
Monday is by its very nature a day of confrontations, but Tuesdays always seem to need a little nudge.
