The challenge for this week is to figure out a practical and sustainable way to eliminate at least one “hate” from your list so you can spend more time doing what you “love.”

Today is Sunday, August 9th, and this is week #32 of our 52 Mondays challenge. Our goal is to break this year down – one Monday at a time.
This week, we are going to take a trip to the bookstore or go through our personal library to choose a book on self-development, read a trade magazine on your specific field of expertise, or read the biography of someone you admire.

Spend at least 15 minutes each morning and 15 minutes each night before bed reading the material you chose. Then, take notes of thoughts and ideas that inspire you, and take action.

Welcome to week #30 of our 52 Mondays Challenge. Our goal is to break this year down - one Monday at a time.
This week, we are going to review our goals and weekly routines that we committed to in the previous months to see if we are still on track.

If not, then give yourself permission this week to reboot and restart the clock. Recommit to your goal and restart your efforts to achieve it. If you’re going strong, keep moving, but if you need a fresh start, make this the week where you do that.

All great acts are ruled by intention. What you mean is what you get.” ― Brenna Yovanoff, The Replacement

With just 170 more days left in this year, it’s time to take a look at what’s working well, and change what’s not.
This week, we are going to figure out what we are going to do better in the second half of this year to push us towards completing the goals we’ve set for ourselves.

This week we are going to research the challenges of reaching our goals. I know that we want to stay focused on the glitz and glam of goal achievement, but we all know that there are always obstacles and challenges to reaching any level of success. This week, we are going to know what those challenges are, so we’ll be prepared to handle them.

Wow! We are on week #26 of our 52-week Mondays Challenge. Many of us have heard the terms, “Fake it ‘til you make it.”, “Act as if.”, and, “To do is to be.”
This week, we are going to act as if, dress like we want to be addressed, pretend, play dress up, or whatever it is you need to do bring your future into the now. If you start acting as if you’ve already achieved your goal, you will find that your success will come to pass much sooner.

Tomorrow, will be week 24 of our 52-week Mondays Challenge. This week, we are going commit to spending a specific number of minutes each day that will will lead towards one of our big goals. Don’t get distracted by social media, email, or playing online games. Distance yourself from the noisy world and commit to making it happen.

I've committed to the “Do Over Summer Challenge with Jon Acuff. For 15 minutes a day I'm working on writing poetry. So far, I’ve invested over 10 hours on this specific goal.

If you want to change your life, you must change your habits. With your already hectic schedule, accomplishing your future goals can be challenging. I believe that goals should be broken down into small routines that are achievable—one step at a time, one day at a time, by adding routines to your daily schedule.
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you already know that I am the Queen of Routines. I post regularly about the routines that I have incorporated into my life, which helps me accomplish my goals. Routines like, Meatless Monday, Water Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, Fitness Friday, and many others. Think about the goals you want to achieve for the year, and then get creative and start incorporating them into your daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly routine. You have space to do this in each chapter of your journal.
