We all know that change doesn’t happen overnight. It happens gradually – day by day, week by week, month by month. And now that a new year stands before us, we are challenging you to gradually build up your life. The monthly Build Up Challenge is an effort to focus on small changes throughout each day, week and month, and building up these small actions over time will lead to significant changes in our lives.
At Orlando Mom, we started 2024 off with intentionally building up positive habits that will help our well-being and allow us to build up our families and homes too.
Each month, we are going to share and challenge you to work on five habits for the month – one for each of these areas of life:
- Mindfulness
- Physical Wellness
- Emotional Wellness
- Family
- Home
It is our sincerest hope that you will join us and other moms throughout Central Florida by reading about these monthly habits and finding ways that work for you to implement them into your life.
We will be sharing reminders on our Facebook and Instagram for these habits. We’ll ask how you are doing tackling each challenge and we want to hear from you so that we can share your progress and help motivate others.
Check out each challenge for the year so far:
THE JULY CHALLENGE!
Mindfulness – Write Down 3 Things You’re Grateful for Daily
There are scientific benefits of cultivating a gratitude practice. By writing down 3 things that you are grateful for everyday, you can experience the transformative effects of this simple but powerful emotion.
Physical Wellness – Practice Yoga
Researchers have discovered practicing yoga may produce many health benefits, including increased cardiovascular fitness, improved muscular strength and normalisation of blood pressure. Yoga is a renowned antidote to stress and promotes improved sleeping patterns.
Emotional Wellness – Read Positive Affirmations
Practicing daily positive affirmations can help you overcome fear and self-doubt and reduce self-sabotage. We share them weekly on Instagram.
Family – Have a family night at Venardos Circus
Venardos Circus is a fun time for the whole family. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! It is inspiring, fun, and creates laughter and good memories for the entire family (of all ages!) You should definitely add this to your summer bucket list!
Home – Organize the Laundry Room
One by one, room by room, this house is getting cleaned up! Cleaning out the laundry room is something we need to do more often! Give it a try!
This is it! this is the Building Up Challenge for July!
Let’s work on the Building Up Challenge together until July 31! Then, we’ll be back with 5 new habits for August. Remember to comment on our social media posts with how you are doing, we’d love to encourage you and share with others too!
