The 100-Day-Challenge

The 100-Day-Challenge

It is January and we are busy making resolutions, feeling terribly pleased with ourselves for what we have started to change..

Yet all of us have experienced how these wonderful visions and goals get lost one snowy day on the way to the gym, or after the umpteenth salad. I am good about going to train but find myself tripping over bodies at the gym during January, patiently waiting for March when half of the people won’t return (until next January). I can COUNT on that.

Everybody has their reasons: “But, but – I have to ……. first!”. And yet another day passes without even a whiff of success.

Let’s embark on a 100-Day-Challenge! Every day, we think of SOMETHING that brings us a step closer to our bigger goals. Then we put a check next to it when finished. If the day promises to be a mad dash, we do a tiny morsel. When we are less pressed, we enjoy a larger bite.

Set up a date by which you want to start your 100-Day-Challenge.

What are your intentions and goals for the next 100 Days? 

Select the commitments that you will achieve for the next 100 days.

Share your journey on blogs or with friends (or on this blog). Maybe you’ll inspire others to go for it with you.

For 30 seconds each day, imagine yourself manifested into something that makes your heart sing, something that makes it thrilling because it feels so you. 

Maybe you want to discard one thing each day for 100 days. Perhaps you want to loose 100 grams each day (and no, taking a pee doesn’t count). Maybe you want to write one page each day or do 10 minutes of muscle training every day. Just do it! Write it down and post it where you can easily see it. Take pleasure in placing a check behind every task completed.

Be sure to celebrate yourself. Every week, do a personal inventory. How did you do that week? Do you need to tweak the plan to make it work better for you? Do you need to break down some jumps into smaller steps?

Here we go:
