The 60/60 experiment is a challenge with the goal to be mindful of God constantly. For 60 days, set a reminder or an alarm to go off every 60 minutes to pray and connect to God. This isn't the only time you should do this, but a reminder to do it every 60 minutes at a minimum . Mindful of God constantly is the goal. This experiment comes from Soul Revol…

Challenges - How's it Going?
This year I wanted to do more challenges as I had so much fun with them last year. Because of last year I can rock a frickin jump rope like no one's business. Or maybe that was this year. Who knows, but it certainly has paid off when ropes come into our Crossfit WODs. So fun was one intention and the other intention was to find fun ways to get fit. Or some…

What If - One Week Challenge
What if for one week you went balls to the wall... (screech) balls to the wall. Where did that come from? Wikitionary StackExchange I guess you could say that the opposite to balls to the wall would be vagina to recliner. Any whooooo. What if for one week you went balls to the wall on your main goal? Just one week. You can do anything for one week. Would …

GoRUCK Tribe
GoRuck Tribe I thought I would mention this challenge again. It is a 4 year long challenge. You can join any time. Here are my favorite points on it: * A different challenging workout each month. Some of the months I feel like a champion because I do so well with and other months there is obvious room for improvement. Either way, I finish them with the streng…

For me, my goals for this month are focused almost exclusively on health…

First Quarter 2021 Challenges
One of the things I truly enjoyed in 2020 were the challenges I completed. First it helped with variety in activities and second it helped to challenge different areas. I really felt it helped with stagnation. So this year, I wanted to be more intentional with challenges. Here is the one negative thing I would say, I did too many challenges this first quarter …

February Challenge Review - Social Media Fast
Things I learned during my one week media fast: 1) I have more time without social media 🙊🙊🙊 Shocking, right? Seriously though, I was able to get so much more done. I should note that I uninstalled social media apps, games, and cut out YouTube as well. I cut out games because I knew I would look for some other distraction if I cut out media. To be fully serio…

For those that don't remember, don't want to read the previous articles, or whatever, manufactured motivation is engineered motivation. Motivation is skill that can be developed.

February Challenges
I tried creating my own challenge. A push-up challenge of 100 push-ups every day no matter how ugly they are. I don't think I had as much benefit from them as I was hoping for. I think I am going to have to take on a longer one. Maybe this one or this one ? This week's challenge is a one week social media fast. 🙌 I am ridiculously excited for this on…

Upcoming Challenges
First, I am working testing out my reaction to various foods as part of the elimination diet. Background info for those who haven't been tracking, I took a food sensitivity test in 2020 and I just finished 4 weeks without those foods I tested as being reactive to. Last week, I tested my sensitivity to garlic. Thank GOD! I didn't have a reaction. This w…

Less Is Now- Reduction Challenge
In Less Is Now , the Minimalist end with a challenge to reduce items every day for the month of January. Reduce 1 on the 1st, 2 on the 2nd.... 31 items on the 31st.

Less Is Now Challenge for January
Minimalism has been a passion and battle of mine for long while now. I find it one of the most challenging aspects of myself. I go from overwhelmed from too many clothes, too many options, to a nice, easy wardrobe in which I eventually buy more in my desire to own in all. It's an ongoing battle with myself. I am MUCH better than I was before, but it affects dif…
