I decided to do a 30 day 'challenge'- document as a daily vlog.
Everyday for 30 days I set myself a ‘mini goal’ from each heading:
- INTELLECTUAL
- SPIRITUAL
- EMOTIONAL
- PHYSICAL
- SOCIAL
- FINANCIAL
- ENVIRONMENTAL
- OCCUPATIONAL
This is simply a ‘health is wealth’ THE BOD edit style challenge, no weight loss target, or specific end goal except radical accountability and personal growth. There is no group, book or sign up- it is just me, trying to improve myself every day and embrace spring - feel free to join in at any time, I am posting these as daily vlog styles. Please note, some of these maybe super small, trivial acts I am personally performing, however it is important this is maintainable for me, is simply about being a better human each day and accountability- not preaching, just sharing. Choose your own each day if you wish🧚🏼
