October Habit Challenge

On October 1st, we’re kicking off another edition of our Daily Habit Challenge. The goal is to kickstart improvement in some part of your life through small, daily efforts that compound over the month. At the end of the month, you will have tested your resilience, built discipline and have a new habit that adds value to your life.

Your habit should be specific, measurable and repeatable. It’s important not to be vague. Habits like, “eat healthier,” “walk more,” and “stretch,” aren’t precise. Better options would be; eat veggies with every breakfast, walk 8000 steps every day, and do these two stretches for 5 minutes every night before bed.

Other good examples for you to pull inspiration from are, daily breath work or meditation, reps of a certain exercise like kettlebell swings, push ups or pull ups, foam rolling or soft tissue work with a mobility ball, hitting a daily protein goal or reading 10 pages from a book.

To get involved, you’ll need to sign up on the sheet near the coaches’ desk. Write your name, your habit and we will either approve it, or help you rework it to make it a better aligned with what we’re trying to accomplish.

The most ambitious doesn’t win any thing here. Instead, we want to teach the value of successful small habits over time. Make your goal seem easy, not daunting, and not only will you develop a new habit, but you’ll develop a method to add in positive habits into your life through small, daily doses. Get involved!
