Welcome to Day Twenty

I’m so glad you’re here.

today’s exercise

Several years ago, while I was in grad school, it was recommended that I practice mindfulness.

I hated it.

I started with an eight-week mindfulness session that had a weekly two-hour meeting, with daily homework.

I honestly couldn’t even force myself to be mindful for each session. I struggled with going from mindless activity 24/7 (a coping mechanism) to failing miserably with even getting through a five-minute body scan.

My point in sharing this perspective is simple: if you’re struggling with mindfulness, you are not alone.

Today we are taking an activity that is usually mindless, and making it mindful.

I recommend something simple like brushing your teeth or making your bed.

Reflect (and share for contest entries!)

Is it easy or challenging for you to practice mindfulness? What are you learning about yourself through this challenge?

All the details, in case you missed it!

The prizes

Consistency is key, so I’m offering weekly prizes for those most consistent, along with three grand prizes at the end of January!

There are a few ways I can track this, and to be fair to all participants I’m offering the following scale for the grand prizes only (I’ll announce the weekly giveaway entries as we go—this week’s is below):

• five entries if signed up for the texting service

• one entry for each challenge post shared on Instagram-tagging @drfoxyfit and using #befoxyfit

• one entry for each comment made on blog challenge posts

• one entry per day for sharing your completed calendar (see below!) on instagram with #befoxyfit and tagging @drfoxyfit

I’m offering a fabulous grand prize for one local resident (details to come soon, but it involves a once in a lifetime Lululemon shopping experience!) and a $100 lululemon gift card for two additional winners.
