I’m going to use this page to provide a hub to list all of my thirty day challenges. The idea behind a thirty day challenge is to establish a new habit and more importantly, to establish small steps towards greater goals to create momentum. If you are having a tough time getting moving, I suggest you make a goal to complete a thirty day challenge.
If this is the first one you have done, make it something easy that you know you can be successful with for a whole month. While it might sound stupid, these little tiny successes can be the springboard towards bigger ones later. Start on the first day and end on the last of the month.
I know some days will have 31 days, so on those months you’ll have to eke out an extra day. I saw someone do a “no alcohol” challenge in February. After I thought about it, I thought that was pretty smart because it was only 28 days.
The only thing here is that once you make it through a challenge successfully, you will want to continue that habit onward while starting another challenge.
I know there is a chance you might fail to get through the month. Don’t beat yourself up. Start another one the following month.
Below, I’ll provide links to the challenges that I have done. I hope you find inspiration in my list and I wish you great success in completing your challenges.
I like this challenge. Can you have more than one? And if so how many would be a good number? One more question would one in each goal category work? For example: spiritual, personal, work.
Thanks

Whether you do more than one thirty day challenge is a really a matter of your mental strength. If you are capable, then yes I see no problem with it. I have been experimenting with that myself. If you are just getting started, I would do one at a time. One for each category is nice idea too. Just keep in mind that a lot of people make a lot of changes at one time and while it is possible to change everything at once it’s a shock to the system. If you are not strong enough mentally, you will only have enough strength to do it for so long and then struggle again. Spacing them out eases change into your life and makes it more likely your changes will “stick”. Because I am trying to make a lifetime change, I’ve chosen to recommend doing it this way. One thing you might want to consider doing if you want to move faster is to make one change every week instead of all at the same time. This would change 52 things in your life for the better in a year. And of course once you make a change, you set the bar there and don’t go back. The key to change is being successful making one so you know you can do it and then building on it. Build upon those successes with smaller changes and before you know it, you have changed your life.
