Identify your Energy Chargers and Drainers

Your day will change when you put pen to paper about what drains your energy vs what recharges it. Nurturing that awareness will help you make intentional choices about how you spend your time. It's important to write them down in a list format, because we can often overlook the feelings we think we have vs. what we actually feel. This is so important even in the framework of your routine. Maybe the1 of your 3 rituals is no longer filling your cup to the point where your routine feels like more of a take on. Once you identify the where your energy leaks and strongholds are, you can make simple shifts to bring more space back into your routine. The idea of letting go is that everything is fluid. Forgive yourself for changing. The goal of this challenge is evolution, so give yourself the space to do just that.

Set Healthy Boundaries

Whether its boundaries with yourself or boundaries with people who surround you, although they are sometimes uncomfortable to set they are one the most powerful things you can do if you are serious about growth. Boundaries with yourself can start small. If you want limit distractions, create a boundary where you put your phone on do not disturb or in another room for a specific time period in your day. That simple of a boundary will make you feel validated in that you are taking yourself seriously. With others, strong communication is your best friend. When you communicate with clarity and from a place of love, that is all that you can control. The people in your life whether that be a co-worker, a friend, a family member, will respect you for it and even more important, you will start to respect yourself.

Trust in the Process

Trust that by letting go of what no longer serves you, you're creating space for something better to enter your life. Trust that every step you take towards progress, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. When you look back at the end of the challenge, you will be proud of the courage you showed in this week and will be able to recognize the growth that came from it, even if it isn't visible in the moment.
