MIND, BODY, SOUL HALF DOZEN

Hi folks!!

New Half Dozen Challenge starting THIS WEEK: Wednesday 1st February.

I wanted to shake things up this time round – so had a think and went through previous challenges for some ideas and the main pattern that emerged was that just about all of the previous participants set themselves goals that could generally be split into 3 categories – Mind, Body or Soul.

So this round is going to be a bit different….. the “Mind, Body, Soul Half Dozen!” 
The Half Dozen in this case relates to the time frame :)

At the start of each challenge week (Wednesday) I’m going to set 4 tasks (posted on the Half Dozen Challenge facebook wall - you may need to "LIKE" the page if you haven't already).
Each one relates to Mind, Body, Soul and the bonus round of FUN! – and the participants are expected to have a crack at the tasks set.

As an example - the first week will go something like;

MIND:  Read something!
Start that novel you’ve had collecting dust on the shelf since Christmas, research a topic of personal interest – read something you wouldn’t normally.

BODY:  Get moving x 3
Make a concerted effort to do some form of exercise 3 times this week – go for a walk / ride / swim

SOUL:   Relaxation
Complete the attached breathing exercise – aim for a few minutes each day.

FUN:  Take a photo of something that makes you smile, post it on the Facebook page wall

I will be encouraging a lot more interactivity this time by asking folks to post things on the group wall and getting a bit more involved with the other challengers.

The task will gradually get harder as we go – but nothing too intimidating.  As an example, the Body challenges will get tougher as you will be getting fitter, but will always be realistic. 

There are no checklists, there are no expectations. 
Just join in if you’re interested and give it your best.  This is still a personal growth challenge and it is up to YOU to make the most of it.

As this is an approach I haven’t taken before, I would be interested in your constructive feedback either before we begin or as we go along.
