I am taking on a 30 day challenge with the one and only Chalene Johnson. So to be accountable, I comment on her comment board as well as here. Check back every day to see whats new.
Day 1 - What are my values? Makes me? Passion?
I have a passion for life. I am an outgoing, loving individual who just wants to set a positive example for those around me. My values are God, family, friends, happiness, and my hard work ethic.
Day 2 - What are my priorities?
My number one priority is my faith in God.
My number two priority is happiness and love for my family.
My number three priority is my health and fitness.
The reason why I have placed the greatest importance on these areas of my life are because: they mean the most to me and define who I am and how I want to be remembered at the end of my life.
I will honor my priorities by vowing to do my best to always: be a woman of God, love my family, and live a healthy lifestyle.
The following action(s) would be inconsistent with my commitment to my priorities: Ungodly actions, putting others before my family, and letting myself slip away from being a healthy being.
To honor my priorities I will limit: temptations and unhealthy habits.
To live my life according to my priorities I need to make the following changes: read my Bible and be in better communication with God more often, let go of silly fights and show love and patience to my family, live an active lifestyle and choose a healthy diet.
Day 3 - 10 Goals: Goals I want to accomplish within the next 12 months?
- Lose and keep off 5 lbs
- *Get into Dental Hygiene School
- **Become an Emerald Coach
- Teach Spin Class again
- Read through the Bible
- Buy myself a new laptop
- Get 6-pack abs
- Find my Happy Bliss
- Pay off College Loan
- Pass Pre-req Classes
Narrowed it down to two, by placing an asterisk by them above.
My Push Goal is to become a Team Beachbody Emerald Coach this year. To achieve this, I need to sponsor two active coaches. To do this I will actively promote Beachbody, Beachbody products, Beachbody challenges, and the Beachbody Business. After all, Beachbody coaches are getting paid to get and stay fit. How cool is that?
Day 5 - Promise: Who do I promise that I will keep my push goal?
The most impacted person by my push goal will be me. My mom's opinion matters most to me. I am making my promise here on my blog to make it public.
Day 6 - Learning to make a CCDMTDL: Carefully Crafted and Diligently Maintained To-do List?
The challenge is to keep it on your phone. So that is where mine will go, but here are the rules for my CCDMTDL.
- Make your To-do list at the same time every day.
- Make your To-do list in the same place every day.
- Keep your list with you at all times.
- Add two or three small steps that will move you forward on your list every day.
- Review and revisit the list.
Day 7 - Foundations of my To-Do List
Here's a brief summary of the steps you'll follow to create the foundation of your list.
Day 9 - Making a Habit Stick
Day 11 - Skill Mastery
Lazy, Bad Attitude, Perfectionist, High Expectations, Stubborn
Day 18 - Confidence
Here's a brief summary of the steps you'll follow to create the foundation of your list.
1. Brainstorm. Today I want you to do a brain-download. Transfer all the data from the deepest files of your brain onto paper. Think of everything and anything you need to get done in the next six months to a year.
2. Now circle any item that must to be addressed this week.
3. Star the items that MUST be done TODAY!
4. Everything else falls into the category of "Soon" or "This Quarter" (your choice).
5. Now write your PUSH goal at the top of your page.
6. Each day you'll check your list several times. Once you get through the things that MUST be done today, you can (time permitting) move on to the "This Week" list.
7. Lastly, remember to include two steps each day that move you in the direction of your PUSH goal.
Day 8 - Not a Quitter
Make my to do list and include push goal... CHECK!
Day 9 - Making a Habit Stick
Schedule the time you are going to make your to-do list. Bed time is my to-do list time because I can get everything down for the next day and feel prepared when I leave in the morning. Also makes it easier not to forget anything.
Day 10 - Staying on Task
Today I need re-write my goals. Some may have shifted as I am learning more and as life may have changed.
- Six-pack abs
- Dental Hygiene School
- Emerald Coach
- Teach Spin Class
- Visit SLC
- Get A's in my classes
- Attract people to Ava
- Pass PT Exam
- Build my TBB team
- Lose 5 lbs
What will it take to achieve your goal? What kind of things do you need to know in order to be an expert in that area? I need to know how to get there, and I do. I just need to get the word out about BB and start building my team. I need to start scheduling 3-5 hours per week to network and talk with people about BB and becoming clients or coaches. Like I always say ... who wouldn't want to get paid to workout and look great?
Day 12 - Be Your Own Coach
Negatives: Write down 5 negative things you find yourself saying about yourself
Is that something you would say to anyone else? Is it something you would say to a child you wanted to nurture? Is that something you would say to an employee? A friend? Of course not!
Cross them out!
Now re-write the statements in first person, present tense affirmations:
I am ambitious. I am independent. I have great expectations. I am smart. I am strong.
Day 13 - Who Are Your Friends?
Thinking about your relationships, do they incite drama or encourage progress? Do your friends suck your energy or ignite your passion? Can you really talk to your friends? Do they encourage each other? Do they focus on the positive or do they gossip and envy? Are they honest? Have you developed bad habits? Are you encouraging to your partner, spouse or children? Do you help them to be their best and share with them your aspirations and ask to share theirs?
I have a great circle of friends that encourage me and let me prosper to my greatest capability, while pursuing my passions. I have a brutal, but good-for-me mantra about negative people and negative energies. I will say hello to those I know, but I will not make myself be around negative all the time when it just brings me down. Fill your life with positive, fun, and loving people who make you want to be the best you can be.
Day 14 - How Do You Spend Your Time?
How should you organize your day to get the most done. Make a list of what MUST be done today - that is your first and only project until its complete. Only put the goals you CAN and NEED to get done, all the other stuff is just extra and can wait for another day/list.
1- Start with the task that has the greatest impact - FIRST
2- Begin with the biggest and ugliest task on your list!
3- Estimate a time for each assignment on your list!
4- Use a schedule to keep you on task!
5- Be realistic and allow a buffer!
Don't forget to keep focus on your PUSH GOAL!
Day 15 - Curing the Disease to Please
Learn to say NO! Everything in moderation, including saying Yes. Try this instead: "Thank you so much for thinking of me, let me check my schedule and I will get back to you." Then do just that, think about it, check your schedule, and then get back to the person either with a no or a yes.
Day 16 - Knowledge give you the Edge
Check the internet. It is a goldmine of information and resources. You get an edge by learning. Having knowledge gets you ahead and pushes you closer to your goals. What can you read/search for/etc to get you the edge?
1- List the research you'll add to your to do list
2- Make a definitive statement about your Push Goal
2- Make a definitive statement about your Push Goal
Day 17 - Reverse Engineering
How to start from scratch and reach your Push Goal.
Step 1 - Brainstorm on Paper: Open a document or use pen and paper to create an exhaustive brainstorm. Be sure to keep your brainstorm for future reference.
Step 1 - Brainstorm on Paper: Open a document or use pen and paper to create an exhaustive brainstorm. Be sure to keep your brainstorm for future reference.
Step 2 - Meet or study someone who has already done what you have set out to do: List those tasks that relate to initial research to determine practicability/risk vs benefit of my PUSH goal (list in chronological/sequential order according to importance.
Step 3 - Pro's and Con's: Make a list of Pro’s and Con’s of pursuing PUSH goal based on items thoroughly researched in Initial Research List.
Step 4 - First to Last: Take the remaining items from your brainstorm and list them according to what should/must be done in order of sequence; First to last.

"True confidence comes from being prepared. Arm yourself with the information and skills you need to achieve success. Practice what you are going to say and then take a deep breath and be your very best self. Present yourself to others, as you want to be and as you know you truly are.
Go back to your affirmations and nix any negative self-talk by replacing it with positive words of truth. Consider all the ways that you can be prepared to diminish anxiety.
What can you do to appear more confident?"
I am really glad Chalene spoke about this. Confidence is huge for me, and usually a make-it or break-it way of how I look at people. I like to be around people who are confident about themselves and what they are doing. People who need constant re-assurance from me, usually get the boot. Sad to say, but it is true. So do just as Chalene said, work on your confidence and see where things start to take you... UP, I am sure! :-)
