When I would be challenged I would react and I kept working with it like I did with all my triggers. I would get challenged and I would have all those feelings come up against it and I would tell myself "okay, you are being challenged and you don't like it." "It is okay". "I want you to get used to being challenged so I want you to calm down and don't think that it is a bad thing". I kept working on it and I worked through it. Now I like to be challenged because it gets me thinking and I like to think.

Also, I think that it has something to do with our self worth and I worked a lot on my self worth. Being challenged is like someone telling you that you aren't good enough. I learned to believe that I am okay the way I am and when I am being challenged it isn't my worth that is being challenged. What is being challenged is my thoughts or beliefs, not my worth.
