  • 21. Self growth challenge: Become your best self in 21 days

    08:44
    It's challenge o'clock! Our focus for the next 21 days? Becoming your best self through finding habits that are going to create the most balance and impact in your daily life. The reason I wanted to throw you a challenge with varied habits, is because we often get stuck in the same routines and rarely stop to consider habits that are no longer serving us or experiment with habits that could make a world of difference in our day, week, and ultimately life!The idea isn’t to adopt EVERY single thing you try, it’s to notice what really creates the most impact on your energy and overall enjoyment of life and consider making space for that in your routine - after all, these habits will be best felt after consistent use (now we are just finding them)!Download the challenge hereDonwload the BONUS 25 Day Self Development Podcast Challenge hereFollow me personally on IG here(00:00) The 21 Day challenge(05:38) BONUS challenge: GO DEEPER!📢 Like, subscribe, and activate notifications for more content on personal development and achieving career success without compromising your personal life.▶︎ NEW - GOAL SETTING SYSTEM eBOOK!
