30-Day (10min) Practice Challenge for the New Year!

Happy New Year!! 🎉 I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Some of you might know that it's the year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac, which happens to be my sign. Since Ox is the symbol of diligence, persistence, and honesty I created a challenge inspired by these great qualities of the Ox sign. 🐄

Today, I'm sharing my [30-Day Practice Challenge Worksheet](https://cheerful-motivator-6149.ck.page/19747d34d6) 🥳

(You can download the PDF via the link) I'll be sharing my progress via Instagram & Facebook group, starting Monday, 1/11. Please join me on this challenge!

People often talk about New Year's resolutions, but it's not easy keeping up with the goal. Have you started something with excitement only to stop after a few days? I certainly have (many times)! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was quite surprised with myself when I was able to complete a "30-day 10min Yoga Challenge" I found on YouTube in April. This unexpected success got me thinking, "Why did it work this time?" 🤔

👉 I have 3 thoughts:

🌵 1. Short time frame: When you create a routine that takes too long to complete, it's easy to make excuses. If it's 10 minutes, it's much easier to commit to than 1 hour every day.

🌵 2. Feeling of accomplishment: When you witness that you can continue something more than a few days, you feel accomplished and confident. This fuels your motivation to finish.

🌵 3. Positive results: You start to see the positive results of continuing the challenge. Just like you plant a seed, water it every day, and see it growing — which should make you feel excited and happy.

The Rules:

Every day for 30 days, practice for at least 10 minutes

The practice must be focused — no distractions, phone away

Track your progress — check off each day you complete

Choose ONE thing to focus on for the full 30 days. Depth beats breadth here.
