    MONDAY, January 3rd

    7. One way I’m going to strengthen my personal relationship.

    I’m going to spend more time visiting family in my hometown of Boston, where I can also see my son who is attending college there.

    8. One thing I’m going to create.

    I’m going to create a website and online presence for my company.

    9. One negative belief I’m going to drop.

    I’m not sure I have negative beliefs but I definitely underestimate myself in some ways. So, I’m going to push forward to build better workout habits (e.g., improve my strength, flexibility, and rowing skills) and also use my time better to promote my business. I have to value myself more and want to convey a quiet confidence about the ways I am contributing to my field.

    10. One positive belief I’m going to reinforce.

    I want to confirm that I can maintain my nutrition and fitness routine over the long term. My work is about engaging the people most affected by social problems in finding solutions and taking collective action to make a difference. In the coming year, I plan to write some stories or share some brief videos/vignettes that describe the positive results we’ve accomplishes together using this approach so more decision makers will see the benefits and consider leading in this way.

    11. One unhealthy food I’m going to stop eating.

    There isn’t a particular food I’m going to stop eating but I’ll try to eliminate processed foods and food with added sugar, whenever possible. This is likely to be a gradual reduction rather than a sudden stop.

    12. One healthy food I’m going to start eating.

    I’ll increase my daily intake of green leafy vegetables and try to increase servings of fruit and vegetables. I’ll also try to eat more fish and less read meat.

    13. One book I’m going to read.

    I read daily, but I just can't seem to finish the 6th book of the Outlander series, so I really want to finish that one. It's HUGE and I guess that's why...seems daunting.

    14. One new place I’m going to visit.

    Always been a dream to go to Hawaii.

    15. One adventure I’m going to go on.

    I'm wary to plan for adventures...with COVID so ever present, I just want to be able to safely go to a restaurant without worrying about who's breathing on me. Would eventually love to take another cruise, but going to wait and see.

    16. One hobby I’m going to try.

    Bought a new diamond dot kit and am anxious to try it out, but need to find the time. Now that I'm no longer teaching piano, perhaps that will free up some time!

    17. One personal development goal I’m going to achieve.

    Want to take a couple of courses when I can...and continue to write...

    I'm SO glad that many of you are enjoying this challenge...we'll have a new challenge each week, which I'll announce in each of the team chatrooms, so hopefully, I can introduce others that you'll enjoy! Have a great day!

    @ashleycarole86 Tell me more about your Peloton...are you pleased with it? Was it worth the investment? Is the seat comfy? Is it regular or recumbent? I'm considering a purchase either a bike or treadmill...trying to decide. Thanks!

    Like what you said about fear of failure at work...that's a hard one...good for you! Everyone deserves to be appreciated for their hard work and efforts...

    @jessicakrall8 My husband and I are absolutely in love with our Peloton. We started with a recumbent while he was recovering from a hip surgery, and I really didn't enjoy it. But, I can honestly say I find the Peloton clases to be SUPER fun. I look forward to using it.

    It's a regular bike so the seat is typical of those kinds - not so comfy. My husband rides with cycling shorts but I don't bother and manage okay.

    It's a big investment and a monthly fee on top of that but we don't have a gym membership or anything else we pay for and the bike gets used 15+ hours a week between the two of us. So, absolutely no regrets here and we use the Peloton app for many other classes (yoga, strength, etc.) as well.

    24. One way I’m going to make more money.

    Not make more, but be more wise with what I have...started a high interest savings account...watching my spending.

    25. One expense I’m cutting out.

    Cutting back on eating out...being wiser with what I spend...

    26. One way I’m going to stop wasting time.

    Worrying about what others think...worrying about things I cannot change...

    27. One skill I’m going to learn.

    Increased training at work...EDI data formats...

    28. One class I’m going to take or workshop I’m going to attend.

    Not sure on this one...would love to take a writing workshop...

    Hope ya'll have a great day!

    24. One way I’m going to make more money. Buying less Produce so I don’t waste any.
    25. One expense I’m cutting out. Buying fewer Cat Toys.
    26. One way I’m going to stop wasting time. By taking care of my filing right away and not letting it pile up. So, I have to do it twice.
