2025 Winter 5% Challenge Healthy Habits Theme
Visions of Self-Care
New Beginnings, New Year, Bright, Shiny New YOU! This Winter, we are trying something different. Before we reveal the 8 Weekly Healthy Habits, we encourage you to pick ONE Healthy Habit you struggle with and make it your daily focus for the 8 weeks of this challenge. It’s your choice, but try to make it something in an area where you want to see change. The Scoring will be consistent throughout the 8 weeks. 10 points if you do it, 0 points if you don’t.

You may join this activity at any time during the challenge and start adding points for your team.

The scoring will look like this:

My Exercise: 120
My HH 1: 10
My HH 2: 10
My HH Focus: 10

This link is a great resource tool for identifying areas you may want to focus on.
Self-Care Wheel There is also a printable wheel you can use to document your own self-care ideas!

    <3 Self care is very important. So excited to bring this into my own life.

    I'm thinking what will I add to my wheel? I'm going to first sit down and free write it out, then read it over, and see what it is I truly want as my priority.

    Enjoy picking the healthy habit you'll focus on for the 8 weeks.

    @Ceriusly1 thank you. I couldn't open it on my phone, I don't know why, I should have been able to. Now, I'm on my laptop and it's working just fine.

    I think it's the app today. I ran into this also today.

    The healthy habit I need to focus on is getting on the Jiu Jitsu mats at least twice a week. When I'm in routine I'll easily do that and more but my routine hasn't been good for too long now and I'm in the habit of skipping training. I consider this to be a Keystone habit for me, when I get this right, the other healthy habits come easier. It's summer holidays here (but I work through them) so many of my normal commitments are on break, giving me plenty of time to focus on getting on the mats and building my fitness back up.

    Am I deducing correctly from HH1 and HH2 that we are to choose TWO healthy habits to focus on?
  • Ceriusly1
    Ceriusly1 Posts: 6,455 Member
    @NancyAnne52 The 8-week focus is optional, but you get points for your team if you do it. You choose one Healthy Habit to focus on daily for the entire 8 weeks of the challenge, preferably something you struggle with. That habit will not change, it is in addition to the two weekly habits that are requirements for all the teams.

    I think I'll switch my personal healthy habit to daily yoga (even 5 minutes counts). I do need to get on the mats regularly but that is hard to score daily and yoga helps me to not get injured when I'm training so I want to get back into the routine of doing a short session every day. 10 minutes daily with occasional long sessions are best but even 5 minutes is possible on busy days.

    My healthy habit is going to make sure I complete my food journal every day. I was doing well until Halloween and then it has been hit or miss. I find that helps me lose weight more than oh, I think I still have calories left to eat this snack.
