October Habit Challenge

On October 1st we will be starting a daily habit challenge. You will choose one new habit to add to your daily routine for the entire month. The goal of this challenge is to kick start an improvement in some area of your life - physical, mental, nutrition. Creating a new habit can be difficult, but taking on the challenge with others with provided accountability will improve our chances to make a lasting change.

Selecting a specific and measurable habit is the most important aspects of this challenge. We want to avoid choosing vague habits like “eat healthier” or “workout more”. The more specific the habit is, the better. A few examples include walking 8,000 steps, eating 2 servings of vegetables, or reading 10 pages - these are clear and concise, realistic and achievable. We recommend choosing from these 3 categories: physical (steps, reps of an exercise, mobility, etc.), mental (meditation, reading, breathing, etc.), or nutrition (servings of fruits/veggies, multivitamin, hydration,etc).

It is important to remember that this a challenge that is meant to test you. You will have to make changes and plan ahead for this habit to become part of your daily routine. If you miss a day, the challenge is not over. We want to encourage everyone to give their best effort for the full 30 days. Oftentimes when the motivation and excitement of the challenge wears off you may want to stop altogether. But the days when you complete your habit when you don’t to are the most important. Meeting that resistance and continuing on is where changes are made. It teaches discipline.

To take part in the challenge, sign up on the sign up sheet located on the whiteboard near the coaches’ desk. From there, the we will let you know if you habit is approved and will provide accountability with weekly check-ins. There is no cost to join and the more people who get involved the better. Remember, no habit is too small.
