My journey is mind, body, business, relationships ... and the recently added spiritual.  I challenge my body, which in turn challenges my mind.  But what about my spirit?  Here's my story.

* My spiritual 30 day challenge

* How I train myself to do this challenge

Hello everyone. Welcome to Sunday fun day. The Path to 1 Million, this is going to be episode 168. So I want to talk a little bit about a side challenge that well it's really not a side challenge that I'm doing. I was going to call it a side challenge but it's not cause any, anytime that I challenged myself to do something over a certain period of time is a challenge. So the other day, as many of you are aware, I started my 3000 burpee challenge. I posted a video about that. And I got it up there and thank you for all the likes, comments on that video. I really do appreciate it. But another challenge that I started this month is cause remember when I'm doing these challenges and I'm on this journey, this 1% journey, it's always about mind, body, business relationships, and a good friend of mine, Ulrich posted on here that it's mind, body, business, relationships and spiritual.

And I realized that I should be also taken on challenges that that forced me to explore these other areas of my life. Meaning, you know, one of them being the spiritual side. And because I sit down and watch church once a week, I don't know if that's really challenging on my spiritual side or not. Maybe it is for some people not me, but I do get a lot of benefit out of it. So anyways my spiritual challenge that I'm taking on for the month of November, first time ever is this every single day I write down three things that I am grateful for. It's something that's an exercise that I do at night before I go to bed. And ironically, that's why I picked the color green because when I put green on my pillow, I could actually see it and remember to do it.

If not, I'll usually just crawl into bed and I remember I have to write something or there's some kind of YouTube video that I want to watch. But anyway, so I started this challenge, actually I started it about a week ago, but the whole goal is to write down three things every single day that I am grateful for. Now, the conditions of this, when I started this challenge when I started this exercise was that I, I could not be generic when I wrote down what it is that I am grateful for. I had to put it like very specifically, like for instance, I could not say that, you know, I'm grateful for my health, right? Cause that's way too generic. I have to actually list down and say what specifically about my health am I grateful for? So, for instance, if I'm thinking about my health in terms of running, well, what did I accomplish that day in terms of running that I am grateful for?

So, for instance, you know, last week when I ran, you know, rather than write down, I'm, you know, grateful for my health or I'm grateful that I can run, I actually specifically put, I am grateful that I completed a 5k in, under 30 minutes. Right? So I'm very specific about what it is and I'm acknowledging to, I'm acknowledging to God, I'm acknowledging the universe that that, you know, number one, every single day is a gift. I really do believe that. But number two, I accomplished something that day that I am grateful for. And I'm acknowledging, you know, the higher power, the higher being that Hey, this is something that's very special to me. Thank you for allowing me to, to experience it. You know, cause running that 5k and under 30 minutes put me on cloud nine for literally like days cause I just didn't think I could do it.

So I always give thanks for those, for those things, you know, and thinking myself. You know, other things that I put in here is you know, I am grateful for root beer floats because a,
