Why should I join the challenge?

 
Create lasting habits 
 
If you want to take charge of your health, life, and happiness, it requires some change. The best way to make lasting change is through micro habits, as they eventually lead to macro changes. Often, we feel overwhelmed if we try changing too much too quickly. But if we start small, it’s amazing how we can train our brains and bodies to do something new, little by little. 
 
If you think about it, we already have thousands of daily habits that are second nature to us. We take showers, lock the door behind us when we leave for work, give our kids a kiss before bed—all without even thinking about it. When we do things repeatedly, the brain build strong connections with those actions, until eventually we hardly think about them. 
 
This is the idea behind habit stacking. Instead of trying to make a major change and retrain the brain all at once, you instead take advantage of the habits you already have and build on them. 
 
If you’ve been wanting to make real changes in your life, know that small habits make big, lasting change. So, start small. Before you know it, habits you used to dream about will come so naturally you won’t even have to think about them!

How does the 21-Day Challenge Work?

  
STEP 1: Find an Accountability Partner and Get Started! 
 
Sometimes, doing things by yourself can be daunting, try to find a friend or relative that is willing to do this challenge with you! You can check-in with each other as you go and track your progress together. This can help you be accountable to that person and make sure you’re hitting your goals. If you don’t have anyone to join with you, that’s okay, you’ll find a whole community online that’s doing the challenge, just search the hashtag #MoveShareGrow to find others! 
 
As you embark on your journey to a healthier you, we’ll give you three habits to focus on for 21 days. All of these habits are surrounding Exercise and Movement. In order to get the most out of your daily exercise routine, you’ll want to focus on a few key areas of health: 
 
Here are the three habits we’ll focus on during the 21-Day Exercise Challenge: 
 
  • Habit 1: Daily Movement 
  • Habit 2: Fuel Your Body 
  • Habit 3: Rest and Recovery 
 
STEP 2: Choose Your Personal Habit 
 
During the 21 days, we’ll be focusing heavily on our three habits of water intake, daily movement, and restful sleep. But you don’t have to stop there! Choose one personal habit to focus on over the next 21 days, big or small. If you need ideas, find a habit you’d like to work on in the following list. 
 
Habit Ideas 
  • Create and stick to a meal plan. 
  • Up your daily vegetable servings. Try three, five, or seven servings—whatever is a challenge for you.  
  • Take more steps every day—whatever number is a challenge for you. 
  • Create exercise bundles with your clothes so they’re ready to go—tank top, sports bra, shorts, socks, and so on. 
  • Find an exercise partner or group, and then try socially distanced or Zoom workouts. 
  • Put your smartphone away an hour before bed. 
  • Start your day with a quick one-minute meditation while diffusing or applying doTERRA Balance®
  • Download a meditation or sleep stories app and use daily. 
  • Take three deep breaths of doTERRA Balance, Lavender, or Frankincense every morning, midday, and evening to remain centered. 
  • Try to get seven to nine hours of restful sleep each night. 
  • Apply Lavender or doTERRA Serenity® to your feet and pulse points before bed. (You might make your own roller bottle for convenience.) 
  • Find ways to remove processed foods from your diet and replace them with whole foods. 
  • Protect your immune system by taking one drop of doTERRA On Guard® daily. 
 
STEP 3: Track Your Habits 
 
Over the next 21 days, as you focus on the three habits of daily movement, fueling your body well, and rest and recovery (as well as any other habits you want to try), you’ll want to track your progress. After you go through your daily routine, make a quick journal entry at the end of the day to review how things are going. Assess your habits honestly so you can see your progress and adjust if needed. 
 
Make sure to download the 21-Day Challenge Resource Guide to get access to a daily tracker for your three habits found on page 17.  
 
  
STEP 4: Participate in Daily Assignments 
 
 Throughout the month, you’ll be working on your three habits every day. To help you along your way, we’ll send you an assignment every day for 21 days. Each assignment is a simple, healthy action that will help take you to the next level as you create the routine of your dreams.
