On September 18th I’m launching a brand new 30-day challenge.
And guess what?
It’s not just about exercise this time.
This time I wanted to create a much more holistic challenge that would get you to dig a little deeper.
I wanted to create an opportunity for you to explore the roots of who you are not just physically, but in every wonderful way.
And to do that, you may find you need to step out of your comfort zone.
Not in a ridiculous dancing-with-a-lampshade-on-your-head sort of way, but in a way that gets YOU closer to YOU.
These short and simple challenges could be:
- Physical challenges (including strength, cardio, and other movement)
- Nutrition challenges (including trying new foods, and new food habits)
- Mind challenges (including writing, thinking, and creativity… this will be fun!)
You see, my ultimate goal in setting up this challenge is that you get to know yourself in a whole new light, as a person that deserves love, compassion, and attention.
I call this the “I DO!” challenge because of that question in the marriage vows so many of us take when we get married…
I believe it goes something like this:
“Do you, ____, take ____, … to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, from this day forward, until death do we you part?”
The irony is that we vow these things to someone else, but we rarely take these vows for ourselves.
So for the purpose of this challenge, I’d like you to be able to be able to answer an enthusiastic “I DO!” to the question:
Do you, ________, take yourself – body, mind, and spirit – to have and to hold, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, from this day forward, until death to you part?
Ok, that might sound a little crazy – perhaps a bit out of your comfort zone? – but the premise isn’t.
The thing is that research shows that women are eating themselves unhealthy, are feeling disconnected from their bodies, and are more focused on their superficial needs (clothing, hair, make-up and skin care) than taking care of what’s happening inside.
In other words, most women aren’t doing so good in the self-care department.
If this sounds like you, then I challenge you to take this challenge.
How the challenge works…
1. Sign up for the challenge… it’s free!
2. Each morning, open the daily challenge in your inbox
Beginning Monday, September 18th, you’ll be getting a new challenge every single morning for 30 days.
The challenge may have to do with exercise, or it may have to do with food, or it may have to do with self care, or it may have to do with challenging your mind.
And each challenge will be short, no longer than 10 minutes.
Whatever the challenge, try to read it early so you can…
3. Prepare to get it the challenge done today
Depending on the day’s challenge, you may not be able to complete it right away. So figure out where you’ll be able to complete the challenge, and put it into your calendar.
Also, make sure you have what you need to complete the challenge. There won’t be any requirement for special equipment, but you may need some household supplies or appropriate clothing or footwear.
4. Do the challenge
Get the challenge done!
Now, each day you have the choice to simply do the challenge of the day, OR…
If you feel the need to challenge yourself further, accumulate the challenges and keep doing ALL the challenges for the remaining days, OR
Do something in between by retaining and repeating only those challenges that feel the most transformative, or helpful.
5. Share it
Be accountable… Share every time you complete a challenge.
Recruit friends to do this challenge with you, and check in with each other.
Or, feel free to email me each day, once you’ve completed the challenge.
Or, if you want to go public with it, post it directly on my Facebook page (check out more about the power of accountability in my last blog entry “Do you have skin in the game?”)
In just 10 days, we’ll begin the challenge.
Sign up is easy and free… just click on the link.
Now, if you want to get more support, guidance, and accountability with exercise, eating better, and living healthier, then contact me for a free 30-minute Coaching Call.
