Weekly Challenge: This week, we’ll be giving up something we don’t use. It can be a piece of clothing, a piece of outdated technology, anything you haven’t used in a while and is collecting dust. In the comments section, write what you got rid of.
How did that feel?
Until next time…

This Week’s Challenge: The year is moving by quickly. This week your challenge is to go through all of your goals you set for the year and see where you’re at. Which goals are you going to miss? Which ones are you going to hit without a problem? Are there any goals that are still salvageable? Go through all your goals and find this out. You can still make it and finish out the year strong!
In the comments, give me an idea of which goals you’ve hit this year so far.
Until next time…

Weekly challenge: This week, substitute tea (your choice) for your coffee. This one may be tough if you’re a real coffee drinker. I would recommend green tea, because it has such great health benefits, but black tea is fine as well. For those of you who are trying to make a break from caffeine, perhaps an herbal tea, warm apple cider, or hot cocoa will do the trick.
Have a great week, folks!
Until next time…

This week’s challenge: Thank someone you typically do business with consistently. Maybe a person who checks you in at your gym, a friendly grocer, or even a barista at your local coffee shop. If you really want to go all out, write a letter to their manager expressing your appreciation for their service. Additional challenge: Make the letter anonymous.
Have a great Sunday, folks!
Until next time…

Here we are again! It’s Sunday folks. I hope each of you are having a great weekend!
Weekly Challenge: This week’s challenge is a simple one. Take one hour away from all technology (cell phones, laptops, computers, etc.). In today’s overly technical world, this can be tough, but the key is to stay away from your mobile phone, laptop, or computer for just one hour. Evaluate how you feel at the end of the hour and drop a comment on how this impacted you.
Until next time…

Happy Sunday!!
Weekly Challenge: This week’s challenge is to learn something new. You pick the topic; you choose how much you want to know. Widen your knowledge about something you’re curious about. You can achieve this challenge by reading a book or article, watching something on YouTube, or finding a good documentary on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
Happy learning!
Share in the comments about the topic you chose or what you learned.
Until next time…

With all the craziness in 2020, here’s another challenge that will help you gain a little peace. Challenge: Meditate 5 minutes for two days this week. It can be anytime you want, and wherever you want. You can listen to meditation music, you can get trial periods for the Calm or Headspace apps, or you can just use the simple method of closing your eyes and following your breath.
In the comments, tell me how it went.
Until next time…

Challenge: This week’s challenge involves some exploration. I’m going to offer another challenge below in case some of your lockdown conditions are just too hard to pull this off. The challenge is to take a walk in the woods, a beach, or a park. The challenge doesn’t require a certain distance, just that you go to one of these locations and take a stroll.
Challenge (alternate): Some of you live in areas where the lockdown is tough to overcome. One of my friends in Melbourne, Australia appears to be in an area that is suffering from a resurgence of the virus and is back under lockdown condition. This challenge is for you. This week, read about, look at pictures, or attend a virtual tour of one of your country’s or state’s national parks.
If you participate, tell me how you feel when you return from your little excursion.
Until next time…
