July 2021 Add 'em up Goals & Habits Challenge ~Join us!

Vantreesta · 06-23-21, 11:27 AM

Come join us in setting and achieving goals to promote your overall wellness! We are a friendly and welcoming group who love to chat when we have time, but please also feel free to join us if you want to just focus on your goals. No pressure here to address everyone; share as little or as much as you want!

We have been doing this challenge for many years now. While it is not strictly about fitness goals, we agree that our daily life goals work together with our fitness goals to make us happier and more balanced, so we combine them in this challenge. Feel free to join us! You can tailor it to your schedule if you need to take a week off for vacation or only count so many days. Whatever works for you!

Premise: Choose your goals for the month. Every time you complete a goal you get a point. Multiply your number of daily goals by the number of days in the month. This is your max total points. If you choose, reward yourself for reaching a certain percentage of your max possible (I use 90% for my personal goal), multiply by your max to get your total goal points. I also give myself extra credit options.

**Take this challenge however you wish. I used to total my points all the time but have fallen away from that and now just track my goals. There really are no rules, your challenge is your own, we're just here for support and to help each other with accountability. We would love to have you join us!

Vannie's July goals

Not sure how I'm doing July yet. I feel stagnant and haven't even been good about checking off my spreadsheet for the past several months.

Mindfulness. Planning. Commitment. Discipline. Consistency.

TOOK THE WHOLE MONTH OFF FROM GOALS AND TRACKING.

I really don't know what to aim for anymore. I think I will set these goals and then give myself a little time off. I plan to not even check off my spreadsheet until July 12 and see if the break helps. So maybe I won't even print it off till then. No pressure to check off smthg that doesn't exist yet plus if I change my mind on the goals I can update before I print.
