THE NEW YEARS RESOLUTION ROUND... 19th January - 15th March

Howdy folks!

Aaahhh another year has snuck up on us!  How quickly the time flies huh!?

I'm not actually one to make new years resolutions myself, but the title seemed fitting as and I know a lot of people view the start of a new year as a significant time for a fresh start or a chance to review things they would like to change or do for themselves.

So I'll give you a moment to let you all settle back into the daily grind and routines before kicking off the next round.... which will start on WEDNESDAY 19th JANUARY and run for 8 weeks, with the final check in day being TUESDAY 15th MARCH.

For anyone who hasn't been here before, The Half Dozen Challenge is something that came about initially during a personal weight loss journey. I found it was easier to work towards my overall goal by putting in place some specific targets to help me along the way. This was made easier again by breaking down those goals down into bite-sized chunks. I found by doing this, they became even easier to achieve. Simple!

It felt really good each week when when I coloured in all the boxes on my chart and had a real sense of achievement that spurred me on to continue aiming for that end result. On the flip side, if I hadn't coloured in everything I set out to, there was the reminder right in front of me that I had let some things slide and that I needed to re-focus in those areas.

It has now morphed for me into more of an overall personal challenge - things I aspire to achieve or create habits in different areas of my life that are significant at the time - whether its health, wealth, wellbeing, work..... Have a read under the tab  "The Aim & Getting Started" for all the info you need to get started should you wish to participate.

The goals are best to have a weekly target as this is a bit easier to monitor and you can see your goals broken down into manageable, bite sized pieces.

I look forward to receiving your personal challenge at halfdozenchallenge@ymail.com before the kickoff date.
