Take the 90-Day Challenge

So, you're interested in challenging yourself in ways that will transform your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health?

The purpose of the 90-Day Challenge is to create healthy habits to implement into your daily routine, resulting in significant improvement your overall wellness. The challenge consists of 5 daily habits that are quite simple but will test your limits, your dedication and commitment to yourself. While there are physical challenges, you will soon learn that this is much more of a mental challenge and throughout this journey, my hope is that you prove to yourself that you can do anything you put your mind to.

So, let’s get down to the details of the 5 daily habits…

1) Exercise 

It’s no secret that daily exercise is recommended to help with weight loss, digestion, mindset, mood and mental clarity, depression, improve sleep, reduce stress, muscle mass, flexibility and mobility, and much, much more. There are no specific guidelines on the length or type of the exercise, the point is to intentionally move your body every day. You are the judge; you know your limits. Move your body.

2) Drink ½ your body weight in ounces of water

Water is life; it is a vital part of your body’s overall health as it affects every cell in your body. It carries nutrients and oxygen to your cells, helping your body produce energy, maintain temperatures, removes wastes, aids in digestion, cushions joints and protects organs and tissues. While there are debates on how much water a person should drink, it's generally accepted to drink ½ your body weight in ounces of water.

3) Eat a nutritious meal 

This is another piece of the challenge that there are not specific guidelines on as people have different dietary restrictions, but we can all agree that a minimally processed, whole foods diet is encouraged so your body can absorb the proper nutrients and calories to maintain a healthy body. Don’t let the word “diet” scare you. The point of this challenge is to create daily habits of being mindful of what you put into your body to perform at its highest level by focusing on eating at least one nutritious meal a day. This means nutrient dense, minimally processed, whole foods. My tip: don’t just read the nutrition facts on labels, read the list of ingredients. The shorter the better and if you don’t know what they are, chances are it’s likely some type of highly processed ingredient or sugar substitute, and high amounts of seed oils. Keep your foods simple and of the earth.

4) Read 10 pages or one chapter of a personal development book 

This could be the Bible, a self-help book, educational, skills, business development – any kind of personal development. Reading has been proven to sharpen your memory and concentration, reduce stress, and enhance knowledge and creativity. Dedicate time in your day to at least 10 pages or one chapter a day.

5) Spend 10 minutes alone with no distractions

This one is a game changer and likely going to be a challenge for most of you. Step away from technology, other people and distractions and spend 10 minutes alone in silence, even better if you go outside – just you and your thoughts. It may be uncomfortable at first. You may feel bored (if you do, good!) You will be amazed at the impacts of this daily habit and will learn to love your quiet time alone.

One last thing before you begin…

Accountability can make or break your success of this challenge. The free workbook accompanied with this challenge is a blueprint to follow and track your progress, which is a helpful tool in holding yourself accountable. To take it one step further, I recommend taking this challenge public. That may sound intimidating, but I have found that by posting the daily progress of my personal 90-Day Challenges to my social media platforms and putting myself out there gives an extra push to follow through on the challenge. Your posts could include your workout or meal of the day, the book you are reading, something you learned or discovered that day, whatever you like! You will also find encouragement and support along the way, and who knows…you may even inspire someone else to take control of their health!

Post what day of the challenge you are on and tag me @chelsoftheearth on Instagram, I will always be your biggest cheerleader!

You can also find additional resources, support and exclusive content in our Wildflower Community (coming soon)!

Remember this, you will never always be motivated so you must learn to be disciplined.
