Walking up and down stairs were never a challenge before my vestibular challenges. Now, I am able to walk up and down with more confidence.  Usually, I manage better with holding on to the railing, but today I challenged myself without holding on.  It used to be that walking up was easier than walking down.  I learned to feel and count the steps while walking down instead of looking down.   The good news is that walking down isn’t so bad anymore.  If you look closely, I walk with alternating steps which takes lots of balance.  It took some time to get here but here I am!

We all have to push ourselves to meet some of our goals.  You learn more about yourself everyday when you have to get outside of your comfort zone.  It can be vey tough, but rewarding in the end.  My challenges have taught me to not take anything for granted.

Try to make small, measurable goals and be proud of achieving them!
