Summer Challenge

In order to spice up the remaining half of summer, I came up with a Days of Summer Challenge. I’ll update this list as I do these items. Feel free to join in with your own Summer Challenge and provide me the link so I can share it with others.

The Days of Summer Challenge

Ongoing

1. Park in the furthest parking spot in my work lot
2. Exfoliate one item weekly (basically getting rid of something I don’t need in my life – reduce clutter, simplify life!)
3. Meditate 2x a week
4. Write in my journal nightly
