How-to-Change-Your-Life-in-30-Days

Whether you launch a 30-day fitness challenge or you want to dedicate one month to decluttering your house, a concentrated short-term effort can create lasting change. But it’s important to design a challenge that aligns with your personality and your objects so you can make your month a success.
 
Key Takeaways:
 

  • How centering on one goal for 30 days can lead to significant progress
  • How a 30-day challenge makes ongoing maintenance easier
  • Examples of 30-day challenges that can shift your health, finances, social life, or work
  • How to customize your challenge to fit your personality so you can get optimal results
  • How intense effort over the short-term can help you build self-discipline and sustain long-term change

Notable Quotes:

“You can move mountains in 30 days when you pour everything you have into one specific goal.”

“If you have a habit that you hate and you do it for 30 days, day 31, it’s still not going to be automatic.”

“If you make something that is lower on your priority list and make it a top priority, you could make years of progress in 30 days.”

“A 30 day challenge isn’t necessarily about creating a habit that will stick forever; it’s about jump starting your new life.”
