These past 2 weeks I have been grateful that:

1. I chose goals that were achievable as it has been enjoyable to engage with them.
2. I continued with growth that I achieved during previous challenges e.g. I started the challenge by sharing a selfie.
3. By engaging with the activities and my goals, I have finally taken steps towards habits that I need to get back to/ want to try.
4. I ended June feeling more present and closer to my usual self on the mat that I started it.

Starting my day with a Kilner jar of lemon water is a habit I would like to return to as it used to be one of my favourites. Since I am not currently in a position to simply jump back into it (I am saving Day 5’s activity for later in the challenge) I have decided to set myself the goal for this week of taking a step in the right direction by drinking a glass of water as soon as I wake up every day.

For this, my 6th 60 Day Challenge, I am committing to completing 60 workouts, 45 of which will be selected from the challenge boards. With previous challenges I have both benefitted from and enjoyed fully immersing myself in the challenge. However I am starting this challenge from a place of finding joy in choosing a video and getting to the mat and feel that this is something I would like to bring with me into this challenge. Committing to completing 45 challenge board workouts allows me to benefit from the challenge curriculum whilst also providing me with 15 opportunities to choose a video from the catalogue. It is also my hope that this method will make it easier to return to my current routine when this challenge is complete. Since the activities are an aspect of a challenge in which I have previously experienced the most growth, I am committing to completing as many activities as I am able to, with a minimum goal of 45.

Prior to the start of this challenge I experienced a few weeks in which my panic disorder was at it’s worst. I therefore wanted to choose challenge goals that would both be of benefit to me after this period and still be achievable if things became difficult again. This led me to the following goals:

Do 1 thing that brings me joy each day.

Complete 1 breathwork class each week.

Typically stretch classes are the ones I find the most challenging. In the past this has meant that I only completed a stretch class if it was LIVE or scheduled in a challenge but in recent months I have been working to change this. In order to continue with my progress, my final challenge goal is:

Keep up with my routine of completing 1 stretch class each week.
