Day 39 of 2021-Mini challenges

 So we just got done with a weeklong wellness challenge. How did it go for you? Which one of the challenges were new? Did you find any of them hard?

How are your resolutions or goals coming along for the year? Can you incorporate any of the challenges into your daily routine? 

I find mini daily challenges a great way to mix things up especially if those challenges align with your resolutions. One of the things that I have done is with my intentions to eat healthier is to incorporate a lot of the challenges from last week. 

A combination of many things will help you achieve your goals. Sometimes its looking broader rather than just one way. Eating healthier for me means no sugar and limited carbohydrates but if I can incorporate exercise to reduce stress, then it makes it easier to not reach for the chocolate or bread.

So if you are struggling to reach your resolutions, it's still not to late to make the necessary changes. Think about daily mini challenges that you can add to your routine that will help you reach your resolutions. 

Now it know its hard with the pandemic and all the stress already in our lives, but I for one will use this time to take care of myself. Its easy to brush off our goals or not take the simple small steps. You get to decide how you will come out at the end of this pandemic. 

Looking at reaching your resolutions more broadly helps with not just getting to the goal but also with all areas of your life.  If your goal is to loose weight, well there are tons of books that can help you. You might find that by reading daily for 20 mins gives you new insight or motivation that you may not know. You can target your reading to books or articles that are about your resolutions and learn new things on the way.

There are so many ways you can get creative with the challenge. Try to create your own weekly challenge and aim to achieve it. Get creative with your planner and think about mini things you can do to help you achieve your resolutions.

Some examples to help you can look like this:

Monday- No social media before 9:00am

Tuesday- Go meatless

Wednesday- Do yoga

Thursday-Reach out to someone who also shares the same resolutions as you and share your journey.

Friday- Spend extra time with your kids or loved one.

So for me, with my intentions to eat healthier this year, some of the mini challenges listed above directly impact my intentions and others are more indirect but still impact my intentions.

Remember, they are mini challenges and not meant to add more stress or work than what we already have on our plates.

So I hope this gives you inspiration to keep sticking to your resolutions.

Go at your own pace and do what works. 

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace,

Monita
