I’m on a quest to spend 40 days working on my body, in service to my business and my own path of finishing what I start. I am committed to exercising 6 days/week, keeping a food journal and being more aware of ways I use (and abuse) my body. Going public is extreme, yes, and it’s working for me and the 18 folks who have joined the quest!
I really pushed in my session with Sunny today. I’d say I vacillated between about 60% and 98%–breathed through the strain and relished in the relaxing (few) moments. Rarely, I give myself 90%; just for me. I give my clients my best. When I’m teaching, I push myself to discomfort as I raise the bar for students. When it’s for me, I’d say my track record is to give my needs about 70%, on a good day. That is CHANGING through this 40-day process.
I’m wondering where you push, for YOU? What’s your 90%? Is there somewhere in your life you can push today? Make it count and say it out loud.
I am not alone in my 40 Day quest. The roll call is at 18 people (including me)! Some are getting organized, others giving up fast food and some are simply breathing! Support them; check out their sites, give ‘em some good love:
