Tag: Inner Fitness Challenge

Just as physical fitness involves strengthening muscles and improving cardiovascular health, inner fitness focuses on cultivating a resilient, balanced, and healthy mind. It encompasses mindfulness, emotional intelligence, personal growth, connection, and gratitude, to mention only of the few skills we’ll be practicing.Are you ready for a truly life-transforming challenge? It’s the Inner Fitness Challenge!

Once a week I’ll release information about a new tool or skill and suggested exercise you can practice for 7 days. Each Inner Fitness tool/skill is guaranteed to bring you a deeper understanding of yourself and how to deal with the craziness of this world.

So if you’re tired of feeling stressed, anxious, or bewildered by life’s ups and downs, this Inner Fitness Challenge is for you. We’ll work on building resilience to weather life’s storms, enhancing our emotional intelligence, and fostering a greater sense of peace and fulfillment.

Inner fitness helps us navigate life’s ups and downs with grace and strength, leading to improved relationships, better decision-making, and a deeper connection to ourselves and others.

How Reflection —Self-Observation Without Judgment —Transforms Your Life

Regular self-observation ensures that the skills you've learned during the 60-day Inner Fitness Challenge become a permanent part of your life.Just as cooling down after a workout helps your body transition from intense activity to a resting state, the Inner Fitness Challenge tool #8 — Reflection allows your mind to consolidate what you’ve learned and internalize new habits. This process of self-observation (without judgment) is crucial for embedding skills into your daily life, turning them into a sustainable practice rather than a temporary challenge.

Congratulations! You’ve made it through the challenge!!!

During this reflection phase, review your progress, celebrate your achievements, and identify areas for continued growth. This step is akin to assessing your physical fitness after completing a training program—recognizing the strength you’ve gained and setting new goals to maintain or build on that progress.

Change Your Perspective & Expectations – The Hidden Power to Make Everything Better

Have you ever dropped something and can’t find it? If it’s valuable, you won’t be content with standing in one spot and briefly glancing down. No, you’ll move around, bend over, stoop down, and even get on your knees to look under everything, until you find it. The same goes for life. We’re not stuck with one view. We have the power to take a step back and look at things from a new angle.  And that’s what the Inner Fitness Challenge Tool #7 — Change Your Perspective / Finetune Your Expectations reminds you to do.

Truth be told, there may be certain ideas and beliefs we developed when we were younger that keep us looking at certain things from a child-like angle. We get activated by a challenge and might lack a heightened adult perspective, so we react in a way we regret. But we can develop a heightened perspective —the ability to see an event from multiple perspectives, not just the perspective of our younger self.
