2020, Better You 60 Day Challenge
At the beginning of 2020 I will be trying @psyduckstudies‘s challenge, but with a few twists. Here are my 10 daily things.
I am going to:
Meditate - 🧘🏻♀️ every morning after waking up. For how long you want but it's got to be noted and journaled
15-minute-clean-up - when you come home from school/work or at the end of the day, put a 15 minute timer and clean up as much as possible within that time period. This helps keep your environment clutter free and much more enjoyable.
Yoga 🤸♀️ - every day. Keep up the stretching and practice those new positions. It'll pay off in the end.
Drink nothing but water and unsweetened tea ☕️ - we are cutting off the juice, the coffee, the alcohol, the soda! All of that is out (for 2 months, we got this) btw fruit smoothies don't count as long as there is no juice in it!
Gratitude journaling 📖 - write down the things you're grateful for!
Self compliments 🥰 - who says you can't compliment yourself. Tell yourself 3 things you love about yourself every day. It can be small, like how soft your earlobes are or bigger, like how kind you were for spending personal time helping someone in need!
Walk more 🚶♀️ - let’s be honest, it’s winter and all you want is to be in bed hibernating and you probably won’t do crazy workouts. But at least you can walk a little bit more instead of taking the bus or go out of the house just for the sake of taking a walk. It’s good for your mental health too.
Read! 📚 -try to read several pages a day. If you haven't read in a long time, start with 15pgs a day of anything! Read webtoons or blogs and articles!
Say no ❌ - no more meaningless spending. No to inconvenience. No unnecessary hang outs with ppl ur not even close to. No to doing something that you really don't want to do that you agreed to because you felt bad saying no!!!! None of that! Be selfish and do what you want.
Lastly, any goal that you feel like you need to work on in order to be the best you!!
I removed the “cold showers” because I honestly don’t think I will be able to do it and I will try cleaning up my room every day for at least 15 minutes.
And I also switched “learn something new” with “walk more” because at the beginning of the month I have almost a month filled with exams so there is plenty to learn for them already, I don’t think it’s reasonable for my schedule to try to fit something new right now. But I think walking more is going to be pretty good for myself because when it’s exam time I tend to stay in at my desk or in bed the whole time without seeing the daylight which is so bad and makes me feel pretty awful.
My 10th goal is “get enough sleep” 🌙 It’s hard with so many exams coming up but just try to do your best, you know your mind is so much clearer when you’re well rested. Take advantage of that.
Also, I don’t think that missing a day with 10 habits to check during exam period is that bad, so I won’t be starting all over. Actually I think that what could work better for me is to apply the next rule : “You cannot skip a habit for more than two days in a row”. I think it’s fair enough...
I hope that you take the time and energy for the 1st 60 days of the new year and join me in this challenge. We can hold each other accountable!
Last but not least, let’s give @psyduckstudies credit one more time for coming up with this cool challege. And good luck everybody!
