Accomplishment

Challenges

by Maria Gracia Updated on October 1, 2023 Each challenge is designed to help you accomplish things, and feel a sense of accomplishment! Join our newsletter to be notified when new content is added to our website.  ___ Donate one item each day:  Designate one box your ‘Donations’ box. Label it. Throughout the month, add one item to it each day. At the end of the month, drop the whole box off (30 donated items) at your favorite donation center and feel your accomplishment.  ___ Wash one window per day: Washing windows doesn’t have to be an all-day affair. Each day, wash one window inside and out. Try tackling it when it’s not so sunny outside…early in the morning or later in the day…to prevent streaks. When you’re done with your entire home, do something fun to celebrate this accomplishment.  ___ No negative thoughts: Each day this month, focus on the positive. Any time a negative thought enters your mind, write down something positive in your journal. Doing this without fail will help you live with more joy. The goal is not necessarily to have zero negative thoughts…all of us have them now and then…but rather to combat those thoughts as soon as we realize we’re having them. When your positive thoughts outweigh the negative ones, that’s an amazing accomplishment for you and others around you.  ___ Drink at least eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day: If you’re not used to drinking that much water, begin with three 8-ounce glasses and work your way up. Celebrate this accomplishment at the end of the month with a new pair of workout pants or a brand new reusable water bottle. I like the stainless steel ones that keep my water cold all day long.  ___ Clean and organize one area:  Every weekday (yes, you get to skip the weekends), clean and organize one area. It could be a section of your coat closet, a shelf in your bathroom, a corner of your office…your choice! This should be a job that you can start and accomplish in 10 to 15 minutes or less.
