Five 30-Day Challenges That Will Change Your Life

Visit us on the web

You don’t need to make drastic lifestyle changes to your routine in order to make a significant difference in your life. Sometimes, all it takes are small incremental changes, repeated every day for 30 days, in order to start noticing the positive outcomes. Here are five 30-day challenges that can help make you a better You:

Create daily white space in your calendar: What would you do if you had just an hour to yourself every day? Read a book? Exercise? Play with your kids? More so, how would that single hour impact your life for the better? Everyone has the same amount of time every day, but not the same priorities. Make it a goal to set time for yourself and you’ll be surprised how much better you’ll feel – and how much more you’ll accomplish as a result.

Give up sweets or caffeine: If you are a huge caffeine addict or dessert lover, challenge yourself to go 30 days without consuming your favorite guilty pleasures. At the end of 30 days you may want to have your morning coffee or the occasional sweet treat, but you’ll find yourself cutting back to an amount that you can feel good about!

Become a morning person: Mornings can be rough, especially if you’re not an early bird. Studies show that morning people tend to be happier and more agreeable. Make it a goal every night to get to sleep early and start your mornings early! You might find that your day goes by more smoothly, your mood is better, you get more done throughout the day, and you may even have an extra hour of downtime to yourself.

Complete an act of kindness: Putting a smile on someone else’s face is a guaranteed way to put a smile on your face too! Spend each of the next 30 days completing one random act of kindness or giving a compliment to someone, and you’ll see that making others happy can make you happier as well!

Avoid negative words: Phrasing sentences using words like “can’t,” “won’t,” or “shouldn’t” focuses on the negative. Instead, flip the focus of that sentence around so you instead focus on the positive. This can retrain your brain to look for the positive in everything rather than default to the negative.
