I’ve been writing about healthy habits & lifestyle for a while now.

However, I found that no matter how many articles & tips that I write, people seem to “read and forget”.

“Oh, that’s interesting”, they think.

And then never doing anything with it.

What if I could challenge people to do tiny, little things, every day, that will have a significant impact on their lives in the long run. Would be cool, right?

This is why I’ve been researching and thinking about “challenges”.

I’ve composed 10 unique challenges that anyone can do, which aren’t too hard (but can get harder over time, depending on your own willpower and motivation).

Duration

All of these challenges are 30 days.

Why 30 days? Simple, because it’s a month. And if you can do something for a month, you can do it for 2 months — or more.

It takes on average 90 days to form a new habit. So, based on this, there are always 3 stages in the challenges:

  • 30 days
  • 60 days
  • 90 days

The goal is always to complete 30 days, but then start over or adjust it to your own preferences. Make it harder maybe. Or make it more challenging. Up to you!
