I try to start building each challenge with an eye on my great big life Quest, which is to lengthen and enjoy my time on Earth. I've been thinking that the way to accomplish this is through building healthful habits as both the means and the end. This challenge will be about the daily work of cementing these habits of self-improvement. So here we go. Food. I want to eat mindfully every day. At this point I have a number of tools in my kit for making this happen, I just have to build the habit of using them. Fitness. I want to exercise more days than not, so the goal is 4 per week. Lately I've been investigating kettlebells, but any intentional exercise will count. Spirit. I want to have some kind of spiritual engagement every day. Being a Christian person sets the tone for this, but being a somewhat unconventional Christian person expands the possibilities. Life Enrichment. I want to do something with my brain every day. Right now I'm a college student, which does accomplish this goal some days. I'm also taking a few early steps in learning the guitar and I still sometimes play the ukulele. I always enjoy reading (in audiobook form these days), writing, and other arts. Any intentional brain engagement will count. Those are the four. I'm tracking them in my HabitBull, and I'll try to report on them daily, as well as posting up a pic of the app every week, although I realistically think that this won't always happen. Life is busy, after all. Happy Challenge!
