The last couple of challenges I've been working on my relationship to food. I've stopped binge eating/restrictive eating completely with the help of some awesome rebels in the Intuitive Eating accountability group <4

The last step of Intuitive Eating is "Gentle nutrition". Which basically means: eat like a normal human who cares for their health :p

There are some more things that I want to be working on this year, but this time I'm not going to try to do them all at once. As many of you know, I love watching YouTube, and one of my favorite youtubers posted a video yesterday about how to make your goals stick. (Video embedded in the spoiler if you're interested)

So this year I'm going to create one habit each challenge. 

To guide me, I'll use the "Four pilars of health" namely: Stress, Sleep, Nutrition and Fitness

 

Goals to reduce stress in my life: Mediation, walking, dancing, reading, todo lists, yoga

Goals to get good quality sleep: go to bed on time

Goals for gentle nutrition: Eat in a way that makes me feel good, like: implementing intermittent fasting, eat nutrient dense foods, find new recipes to try

Goals for fitness: Strength training, dancing, yoga

 

(Challenge dates copied from Spezzies post)

Challenge 1: January 7 to February 3

Stress: meditate every day

Duration: at least 5 minutes

When: When the kids went to school, or after brushing my teeth when the kids don't have school

Challenge 2: February 11 to March 10

Fitness: 2 strength training sessions each week

Duration: As long as it takes to perform the workout 

When: to be determined

Challenge 3: March 18 to April 14
Nutrition: Intermittent fasting. I'm thinking 3 18 hour fasts or one 24 hour fast a week. Or mix those two and see what works best for me. 


Challenge 4: April 22 to May 19

Sleep: Screens off before 21:30

When: Every night except Friday and Saturday

Challenge 5: May 27 to June 23
Stress: Do yoga 

When: twice a week

Duration: at least 15 minutes


Challenge 6: July 1 to July 28 

Fitness: Step it up: get an average of 10,000 steps in a day. 


SUMMER BREAK (2 weeks between challenges)

Re-evaluate the challenges I set out for myself for the rest of the year 


Challenge 7: August 12 to September 8 (Zero week will begin August 5)


Challenge 8: September 16 to October 13

Nutrition: focus on nutrient dense foods. I won't eliminate any foods, but the majority has to be nutrient dense. 


Challenge 9: October 21 to November 17

Sleep: Be in bed before 22:00 on weekdays 


Challenge 10: November 25 to December 29 (5 week holiday challenge)

Stress: Read every day in an actual, physical fiction book

Duration: at least 5 minutes

I bought a book of 30 day challenges last year but I never even thought of it as a way to kick start a habit or use as a goal setting method. I really like it, thank you so much for sharing! It looks like you have a pretty good plan. I hope you have fun completing each 30 days! :)
