Often our mind gets in the way of taking positive action and we put things off that we
THINK are hard work when in fact if we were to do those very things it would make our life far more pleasurable.

Often they aren’t even a hard task. We have just decided that they aren’t a high priority and keep putting them off. It’s a matter of shifting our mindset and making a plan.🤯

So this week's challenge is all about procrastination and accountability.

The purpose of this challenge is to help you identify the root causes of your procrastination, why you might be struggling to stick with the healthy habits you want, and how this is affecting your life.

I’d like you to ask yourself some questions and make a list of your answers.

1. What are some things in your life you have been putting off or procrastinating about?
2. By NOT taking action how is it impacting your life now?
3. How would your life be different if you took action?
4. What are you going to do to make some changes in this area?
Put the answers to your questions somewhere you can see them and take action this week...

To keep you accountable write your answer to number 4 and share it in the comments below!

You know what? It's totally fine to start late.

It's more than okay if you look different from everyone else.

And it's perfectly normal to feel uncertain. You're going to change your mind from time to time. And that's OK. In fact, it's GREAT! It means you are growing and evolving. 💙

Succeeding isn't about being the first. It's not about looking a certain way or following a specific path. It's not even about being certain.

We are all unique—and so are our goals. If you don't end up where you thought you would, it doesn't mean you've lost. It means you've learned and grown along the way.

Your idea of what success means might be different to the next person.

No matter what stage of life you're in—whether you're just starting out or already established—you deserve to reach for your dreams. We all do!🙌

You have the power to take your life into your own hands and mould it into something extraordinary, every successful person started somewhere—you're going to do amazing things! Trust the process, Trust yourself and remember to enjoy the journey. Life isn't always just about the destination.👌

Are you ready to be your most hydrated? This week is a hydration challenge!🧊

There's a reason that "drink more water" is the world's go-to wellness tip, and not just because you'll feel better. Drinking enough water every day is pivotal to your overall health; in fact, about 60% of the human body is made up of water😮. That means that every single system in your body needs water to work properly, from digestion to temperature regulation to waste removal. When you're dehydrated, you can experience everything from headaches and muscle cramps to fatigue and confusion. SO it is important for our body to function at its peak.

Here’s what you can do:

1) Track your intake with a smart-watch or smartphone app
2) Setting an alarm on your phone that rings every hour with a reminder to drink water
3) Always keep a water bottle within arm's reach–super effective!👌
But if you’re not really a big water drinker these tips might help… get yourself a new beautiful drinking bottle to motivate you. You can also even add lemon wedges or cucumber slices to your water for a fresh burst.🍋🥒

So how do you know if you’re getting enough water?

Every person is different, so there's no magic number for how much water you should drink every day. The best way to tell if you've had enough water is by looking at the colour of your urine: if it's clear or light yellow, then congratulations! You're well-hydrated. If it's darker yellow or even brownish in colour, then you need to drink more water.

Every day this week comment below on this thread how much water you drank at the end of each day.😃

You're going to have to get comfortable with feeling uncomfortable. Why?

Because no matter how perfect your plan might be, there's always going to be a reason why you can't do something.

It's easy to make excuses...

It's easy to let the world (or that little voice in your head) convince you that it'll be too hard, that you don't have what it takes…

or that you're just not ready yet…

But you know what? That doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that there are always going to be reasons why you CAN achieve your dreams, and it's your job to constantly look for those reasons and use them to get where you want to go.🙏

You can choose to do something about it. You can choose to look for reasons why you CAN achieve your dreams. You can choose to keep going, no matter what happens.

Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do! Because you can DO IT! 😁

Has there been a time when you questioned yourself and you pushed through anyway and you achieved something? Share with us in the comments…you never know you might inspire someone else to keep going!
