Want to take part in this FREE 30 Day Challenge?
Here’s what you need to do:
1. Decide what one new habit you would like to create in the next 30 days. Consider this question:
What one habit, if you added it consistently into your life, would make a difference to your happiness or health?
2. Download your 30 Day Challenge calendar by clicking here.
3. Sign up to receive the email updates from the blog. You will see a signup box on the right side of the main blog page: “Get Email Updates”
Put your email address in the box and click subscribe - this is a double opt in system so you will need to confirm the email message you receive in your inbox.
Each day during October I’ll post a new 30 Day Challenge tip to keep you on track. You’ll also get to see my progress on my own 30 Day Challenge habit. Once you have subscribed for Email Updates these tips will be delivered right to your email inbox.
4. Post a comment on the blog and tell us what new habit you are working on during the challenge. You don’t have to use your full name. Then feel free during the month to post additional comments about how it’s going - what’s working and where you are stuck. I’ll respond to each of the blog comments you post. No, you don’t have to participate in the on-line discussion - but you will find greater accountability and success if you do. The 30 Day Challenge will take place entirely here on my blog under the category “30 Day Challenge”.
Tune in tomorrow…
as I share what new habit I’ll be working on - and give you some tips about making your habit specifc.
Thanks for doing this challenge, this is what i need to go on in my life after loosing my love, my husband from a 3 and half month cancer. Being in grief is sometimes difficult to motivate myself on starting over and do what we were planning for two. Dreams and hope have to resettled and some days the waves are bigs.

My goal is to walk my dogs, daily…before work.
Although I am active and do take my dogs off leash at least once/week, we all need more. For almost 10 years I walked 4 km every morning at 5:30 am, rain or shine. When I moved away from my walking partner this activity ended. I know I can do this (”with a little help from my friends”) and will be better off for it.

@ France
Glad you’ll be joining us on the challenge. You’ve got a lot on your plate right now so think in terms of a small, simple habit to work on.

My 30 day challenge is to not binge eat.

@ Elaine
Welcome to the challenge! You might consider reframing your new habit. Rather than thinking about stopping binge eating you might think about the new habit you want to replace it with. What would be a good substitute for you for the old behaviour - going for a short walk, or chewing gum or practising some form of relaxation or ??

Laurel,
Thank you for this opportunity for support in reaching my goal of “being physically active for 10 minutes every day”.
