THE ONE WEEK CHALLENGE

This year I've learnt that one week is rather predictable. One month... not so much.

Our priorities are always shifting, so we need to be flexible too.

I find 8 - 12 week challenges are great for single pointed focus - ie. a fitness or diet overhaul - because it takes time to absorb new information and establish new habits.

However after months of shifting my awareness and focus from one foundation to the next I've arrived at a place where I'm quite comfortable and happy to cruise.

When do I feel my best? When my foundations are solid.

My hack for keeping them in check?

ONE WEEK CHALLENGES!
WooOooOoo!

Grab a pen and paper (or a whiteboard marker and a mirror :p) and write out your goals for the week for the following headings.

I'll include some of mine as examples.

Sleep

• In bed by 9:30pm
• Aim to be asleep by 10pm
• 7-8hrs sleep

Food

• Meals + snacks prepared
• Allowed max. of 3 meals out (already had 2 and it's Monday pm damn!)

Exercise

• 4 weights sessions
• 1 Get Low dance class
• At least 2 surfs
• 3 Get Bendy stretch sessions min. of 20mins

Nature

• Sunrise at the beach every morning

Cleanliness

• Dust + clean bedroom fan
• Wash + vacuum car

Organisation

• Re-write current to-do lists (see how I prioritise them here)

I am...
A list of 'I am statements' that are relevant to what you're going through.
I like to write a list of these each Monday (usually in whiteboard marker on my wardrobe / ensuite mirror). They are effective little pick-me-ups and can instantly transform our thought patterns.

• I am attentive
• I am calm
• I am rested
• I am inspired
• I am ready
• I am letting go
• I am strong
• I am beautiful
• I am loved

Only you will know what I am statements are relevant to you. Take a moment to recognise what you may need more of.

And that's it!

Feel free to add more categories though!

I'd love to hear how you go.

Have an awesome week :D
