Do you use summer to recharge your batteries for the year ahead? Or do you run into the new year just as breathless as when you finished it?
It’s overwhelming to commit to something lasting. The Summer of Growth Challenge is for this week only–but if your new initiative really speaks to you and makes you feel good, go ahead and continue!
Week One: Rest and Reset
- Change up your routine. You might just love waking up earlier & enjoying that cold brew coffee and/or davening time on the back porch before the kids wake up. Give yourself an incentive to get to sleep earlier.
- Resolve to drink x ounces of water. Actually do it! Set yourself up so that it’s an attainable goal.
- Make yourself a nutritious lunch (how often is up to you!)
- Or, challenge yourself to start a different good habit / stop a negative habit,
- Buy yourself flowers or a plant (and water it!). Put it in a spot that makes you happy when you walk into your home.
- Carve out a specific time to sit and read a book. It doesn’t have to only be when you’re falling asleep. You don’t have to always be “doing.” Bonus if it’s at a time that’s usually hectic. Reading is a very valid activity!
- Pull out your old albums and reminisce.
- Don’t be so busy. Is there something you can let go of, just for now, so that you can make time for something you’ll enjoy?
- Get a manicure or pedicure.
- Buy a self-help/self-improvement book and read it. Choose one lesson that you’ll take with you.
- Take a digital detox. Plan something enjoyable that you’ll do in that time instead (it could be one of the above).
- Use new and special shampoo/body wash/beauty products so that your shower feels like a trip to the spa–just for this season!
- Write a journal.
- Try a creative outlet/hobby that you always wanted to try but never did.
