It happens about this time in every Whole Life Challenge — people comment, “It’s been long enough, I’m over this, This is so long, I’m tired of this already.”
If this is happening for you, it’s a perfect time to check in and ask yourself, “What is it that has been long enough? What am I tired of? What am I over?”
Because the truth is, this is your life. It’s just that most of the time, you go through it unconsciously, not looking each day at the choices you’ve made.
So here’s an idea for you — instead of quitting, give yourself permission to eat whatever you want, not exercise, skip a day or two of hydration. Go ahead. It’s okay. But don’t stop recording your score!
If you simply quit participating, you won’t have the opportunity to see the impact of your daily habits like you do when you’re in the game.
