Hey Reader

How long does it take to "change your life"? 🤔

This is a question I've been asking myself recently, especially given the rut I've found myself in during Quarter 2.

Even though I started Q2 with a lot of motivation and enthusiasm, things quickly fell away when I found myself in a major slump.

I'd been excited to make progress, but the reality was that I just felt stagnant.

Projects that I'd been eager to work on got neglected and a lot of my goals were pushed to the backburner.

That's not to say I didn't make progress, and I certainly achieved things, but I was just hoping for...more.

Of course, my social media algorithms could sense that I needed a shake up 😝

My YouTube feed started serving up a lot of advice that you could change your life in 6 months by disappearing, going "monk mode", and coming back unrecognisable.

Colour me intrigued, but 6 months feels like a long time to focus on something and disappearing doesn't seem super realistic.

But what if we could do this in a shorter amount of time without going "off grid"?

The idea - Change your life in three months

Rather than disappearing for 6 months and coming back a brand new me, I'm taking a different approach.

I want to see how much "life changing" I can do in 3 months and instead of disappearing, I want to take you with me.

For this, I've set up the "3 Months to Change Your Life" challenge, and I'll be using it to make as much progress as possible in life areas that I feel I've been neglecting.

The "3 Months to Change Your Life" Challenge

If you'd rather watch, then read, we have a summary video that goes over what the challenge is, how to get involved, and the goals/projects I'm going to be working on for myself 😈

​

I've set up this challenge with a specific person in mind though.

This person is one who consistently says they want to do things, or wants to work on their goals, but day after day and month after month, they're just not making the progress they hoped for.

Despite knowing what they need to do in order to make the progress they want, they just don't do it.

In part, it's perfectionism holding them back. They don't want to spend time, effort, and energy on the "wrong" thing, so they default to doing nothing instead.

At the same time, they're letting other commitments and life areas distract them from all those things they say they want to achieve but keep putting off.

This person is me 😂 but if that sounds like you too, then this challenge is for you 💪

Step 1. Plan

In its essence, this challenge involves identifying one specific thing that, if worked on consistently over the next three months, would have a huge positive impact on your life.

The "one specific thing" is very much up to you.

It could be developing a daily exercise or movement routine, aiming to reach a savings goal, decluttering your home, or anything else.

The only requirement is that it's something you genuinely feel would make your life better.

Once you know what you want to work on, then it's time to figure out how you'll work on it.

Both the "what" and the "how" make up the first step to getting involved.

We don't need a perfect plan, but knowing the first steps we'll be taking is key.

Step 2. Do

Once your plan is in place though, then it's time to get to action.

I'll be starting my 3 months on June 30th because I like a Monday-start, and following through to September 28th, but it's also equally valid to do a July 1st to September 30th approach.

What really matters is following through 💪

Between now and June 30th, I'm working to set myself up for success by identifying how I can make action taking easier for future-me.

I want to hit the ground running in Q3, but a slow start approach can also work. Be sure to consider how you want to start (and continue).

Step 3. Document

One of my biggest challenges when it comes to goal work is not recognising the progress I'm making.

To combat this, I've made it an essential step of this challenge 😝

There are plenty of ways to document progress, and it very my depends on what life-changing thing you're working on, but some examples are:

• Progress photos
• Checklists
• Trackers and logs
• Social media posts

I'll be documenting mine through weekly vlogs on the channel, so make sure to jump over there and subscribe so you don't miss them!

If you like the idea of sharing your progress with other goal getters though, we have a space dedicated to the challenge in our free community Discord server. Hit the button below to jump over and tell us what you'll be working on!

I'm apocalyptically excited for this challenge mainly because I know how positively it can is going to impact my life, and I'd love for you to let it do the same for you.

If you're not happy with where you're at currently and want to work to change that, let's change our lives together 😊

Let's take action

If you want to join us for the challenge, we'd love to have you with us!

To get involved, all you have to do is:

1. Plan your life-changing goal(s)
2. Do the work alongside us
3. Document your progress and achievements throughout

If you want to have the community accountability and sharing aspect, come on over to the server and chat with us. Even if you're completely new to Discord, our community members are super helpful with showing you the ropes.

Until next time!
