Do you wish to improve yourself this year? The best way is to adopt a 30-day challenge to bring about change.
What exactly is a 30-day challenge?
In simple terms, it is the idea of making small changes in your life and following that change/habit for the next 30 days. Even so, thirty days is an ample amount of time to do a self-improvement challenge. Most of all, individuals have the freedom to give themselves new challenges every month. These challenges can include fitness, health improvement, time management, and enhancing social interactions.
Let’s look into some 30-day challenge ideas that you can adopt to improve your health, wellness, mental strength, and lifestyle:
These challenges will help you address your health concerns and include clean eating habits, removing bad habits, or improving workout habits. Even a simple task like sticking to a new sleep schedule will work.
Quit added sugar and salt
Say no to excess or added sugar and salt for the next 30 days.
Try a fitness challenge
There are various ways to incorporate a fitness challenge in the monthly challenge plan. It can be a 30-day plank challenge, push-up challenge, a simple 20 minutes moderate exercise challenge to taking a 30-day squats challenge.
Eat at least one home-cooked meal in a day
Try eating at least one meal a day that is home-cooked. It can be outright challenging for those who crave fast or processed foods most of the time. Doing so will give you the added advantage of saving money and improving overall health.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day
Pick up a habit to stay properly hydrated. This change will mark a difference in your health and overall well-being.
Wellness does not just include the physical aspect but also the mental well-being of an individual. We all know that the past year has been quite overwhelming and stressful on account of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the prevailing situation continues to impact mental well-being, how about taking up a mental strength challenge for yourself?
Maintain a gratitude journal
You can write down things which you are grateful for every day. Begin by writing 2-3 things each day. The lists can include positive experiences or events that brought a reformative change in your life. Jot down all of them in your daily journal.
Try a daily destress activity
Make sure you are allowing yourself to feel calm and composed. Indulge in an activity that makes you feel more relaxed. Remember not to involve a digital screen to destress. Opt for building a new garden, try a new form of journaling, calligraphy, learn some music instrument or photography.
Stop negative self-talk and write positive affirmations every day
Make sure to avoid people who engage in criticising others. Even if you engage in negative self-talk, it’s time to stop doing that for the next 30-days and see how you will blossom. You can even write positive affirmations every day that will help you uplift your spirits and build more love and confidence.
You can challenge yourself to live in an organised manner in the following ways:
Prioritise your tasks
One of the best ways to look organised is to set your priority. Ensure that you list out 3-5 priorities every day to stay focused and productive.
Make your bed every morning and declutter
Fix a time every morning to make your bed. To add up more challenges, pick a room each day to sort out the things for the next 30-days.
