1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Sugar Mama's Fireplay. I am your host financial planner Canna Campbell. 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: In today's episode is a little bit different. I want 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: to share with you a fun challenge that I did 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: that costs absolutely nothing but really has had quite an 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: impact in my life. Even Tom, who's my biggest fan 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: but also my biggest critic, has said this has been 8 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: quite transformational, and I am inclined to agree. Some habits, 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: some attitudes, some lifestyle choices have really shifted. 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 2: And changed for the better of my life. 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: And I want to share with you exactly what I 12 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: did why, and also share with you why I'm going 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: to do it all over again and invite you to 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: join me. Now, what am I talking about. I'm talking 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: about the seventy five Challenge, which you may have seen 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: me post sporadically on my Instagram account Canna Campbell Official, 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: as well as obviously the Sugar Mama Instagram account. I'm 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: going to go back a bit and explain first of all, 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: what the seventy five challenge is, and it's often known 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: as seventy five hard. So this is a transformative mental 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: toughness challenges called and It was created by a guy 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: called Andy Faesel, and it is designed to help you 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: develop certain areas in your life or characteristics that you 24 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: lack and to change them for the better and to 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: make long term change. Now with seventy five Hard, it 26 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: is something you're sort of five or six rules that 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: you follow every single day and if you and you 28 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: have to do it for seventy five days straight. Now, 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: if you skip one of those five rules or break 30 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: one of those five rules during the seventy five Hard Challenge, 31 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: you're supposed to go back to day one and start 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: all over again. But here are the rules that you're 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: supposed to follow for Hard seventy five, and that is 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: you stick to one diet of your choice. You drink 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: no alcohol. You have to exercise or twice a day, 36 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: with each exercise being a minimum of forty five minutes, 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: and one of those exercises has to be actually performed 38 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: outside in the sunlight, in the elements, in the fresh air. 39 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: You also have to drink four and a half liters 40 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: of water, and you have to take a daily photograph, 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: and you have to read at least ten pages of nonfiction. 42 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: And some people say you also have to do ten 43 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: minutes of journaling. Now you do come out the other 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: side as a different person, and as Andy Fizzel, the 45 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: founder of this challenge, he says, you'll come out a 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: far more disciplined person and someone very very different. 47 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: Now. 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: I didn't do hard seventy five. I did, you could 49 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: say soft seventy five. I created my own rules because 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: I knew that hard seventy five was completely unrealistic for me, 51 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I knew that 52 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: I didn't have the time to be exercising twice today, 53 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: each time for forty five minutes. I'm not someone who 54 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: has a problem with alcohol. I enjoy the occasional glass 55 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: of champagne. But it did to me quitting alcohol for 56 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: seventy five days didn't really add any value. And I also, 57 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: you know, I drink a lot of water anyway, so 58 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: I didn't really see the point of the forty four 59 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: and a half laters. And to me, that seemed a 60 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: bit excessive. But I really wanted to do something like this. 61 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: I was feeling a little bit lost. I wanted something 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: to sink my teeth in and to give me a 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: point of focus. And I guess I was curious to 64 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: see what was what was this all about. It's quite 65 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: a viral trend at the moment on social media, and 66 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: actually my O pair who's living this at the moment, 67 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: she was doing it and I was seeing it. You know, 68 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: I was really inspired by her. So I decided to 69 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: jump on this bandwagon. And I actually want to do it, 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: but I wanted to keep it realistic. So I actually 71 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: created my own rules, and these are the rules that 72 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: I did for my version of seventy five. So I 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: did six workouts per week for a minimum of thirty 74 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: five minutes. I journaled every morning for at least ten minutes. 75 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: I also use this as an opportunity to get things 76 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: done that I'd been putting off or had blocks around 77 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: for the last six to nine months, including the Jamie 78 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: Ryder Rising Phoenix Mindset program. So I agreed, okay, what 79 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm doing it. If I'm going to do seventy five, 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure I do at least, you know, 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: ten minutes a day of this particular program and aimed 82 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: to try and finish it. I also read for at 83 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: least ten minutes every morning and sorry at least ten 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: pages of nonfiction, and I pretty much did this, and 85 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: I also towards as I finished the Jamie Rider program, 86 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: which I successfully completed within the seventy five days, I 87 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: shifted that to some goal setting manifestation work. Now, what 88 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: I also did is I would say I stuck to this. Honestly, 89 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: I reckon about eighty seven percent of the time. And 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: where for example, maybe I did only five workouts and 91 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: so six workouts for the week, I made sure that 92 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: when I did do workouts, I trained for forty five 93 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: minutes instead of thirty five, so I could make up 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: for those days that I lost. And there are plenty 95 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: of days also where I read for more than ten 96 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: minutes or I read more than ten pages, and there 97 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: were days where I definitely journaled for a lot longer. 98 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 2: Now one of the. 99 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: Ways that I stuck to this, and I'm actually surprised 100 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: as to how easy for me it was to stick 101 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: to I got out of bed, which I do every 102 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: day normally at five am, but I had I did 103 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: a couple of things before I went to bed to 104 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: make sure that I would hit the ground running and 105 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: not get distracted and jump off my phone or have 106 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: a conversation with Tom. So I actually left my notebook 107 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: and pen out on the sofa, so the moment I 108 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: sat down the sofa, I could immediately start journaling. I 109 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: also scheduled in my diary as to when I was 110 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: going to do the exercises, like what worked with the 111 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: kid's routine, when I'd have a quick break to myself 112 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: to pop down to the. 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: Gym or where. 114 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: You know, how was I going to efficiently ensure that 115 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: I got that thirty five minutes of exercise? And I 116 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: found that, you know, I would actually go and take 117 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: the dogs for a walk and walk past some of 118 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: the outdoor gyms and just stop there for thirty five 119 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: minutes into a whole pile of exercise while the dogs 120 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: were running around. And you know, I would also put 121 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: my book that I was reading at the time, you know, 122 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 1: also next to the journal, so the moment I finished 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: the journal, I would go straight to my book. 124 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: And I also spoke about this. 125 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: I think putting it out on social media is obviously 126 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: makes you accountable. It does put a little bit of 127 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: pressure yourself because you really want to maintain it, but 128 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: it and I also left my exercise gear out, so 129 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: you know, I'd get straight into my exercise gear, so 130 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: I'd be ready to do some sort of exercise while thinking, 131 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: oh gosh, it's cold, I don't want to have to 132 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: change my warm clothes, you know, stripped down and put 133 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: on my exercise gear, and I think, you know, talking 134 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: about it to other people and really paying attention to 135 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: how I felt after doing exercise, how I felt after journaling. 136 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: It really actually made me realize how powerful this is 137 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: and how much I'm learning about myself and how I'm 138 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: actually evolving. So for me, it actually wasn't hard to 139 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: stick to. I will admit, though not I didn't follow 140 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: the rule of if I missed or didn't successfully complete 141 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: each day. I didn't punish myself by going back to 142 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: day one. I just continued on, pushed on, and as 143 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: I said, I tried to make it up for other 144 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: days so that, you know, when you average it all out, 145 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: I was pretty much close to being you know, one 146 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent as best I could. So this is it 147 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: wasn't about being mean or punishing myself. It was about 148 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: enjoying the process and making it empowering, making exciting and 149 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: ripping all the beautiful benefits from doing this. Now, how 150 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: did this challenge help me? And I'd say, it helped 151 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: me so much. So it created some amazing habits and 152 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: gave me a beautiful sense of direction and structure, particularly 153 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: to my mornings. I'm someone who really likes to get 154 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: a lot of things done in the first half of 155 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: the day so I can take my foot off the 156 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: gas and relax a bit. And for someone who ADHD, 157 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: that is someone something I find really really helpful if 158 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: I just try and get as much done and then 159 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: I can kind of let my brain go a bit wild, 160 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, after one o'clock. Of course, obviously, going from 161 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,559 Speaker 1: someone who does exercise two to three times a week 162 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: going to exercise six days per week, wow, I felt 163 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: so much stronger. I looked so much leaner and toned, 164 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: and my posture is so much better also from my journaling. 165 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: But I will say it was the one where I 166 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: was like really journaling, like oh, that's so not me 167 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: that probably had the biggest best uplift for me. I 168 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: didn't realize how much journaling helps get the clutter, the noise, 169 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: the anxiety out of your head and body down onto 170 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: paper where you get a sense of perspective and you 171 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: can just release it all. And it was I felt 172 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: mentally a lot happier and a lot calmer, and my 173 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: hand right from journaling every day improved out of sight. 174 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: In fact, I would even go a spar as saying, 175 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: my handwriting is actually really beautiful and really elegant now 176 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: after journaling every single day, I also noticed that I 177 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: felt way more creative. I'm someone who gets, I guess 178 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: very easily inspired anyway, but I would get this wave 179 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: of inspiration where ten ideas would hit me at one time. 180 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: In doing this challenge, I found that my creative ideas 181 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: came to me consistently, but in a gentle flow throughout 182 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: the day, rather than less literally, you know, having ten 183 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: ideas being catapulted into my brain at the same time. 184 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: It was like there was a beautiful flow or rhythm 185 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: of ideas coming to me throughout the day consistently. I 186 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: also felt, from you know, whilst doing this challenge, a 187 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: lot more emotionally resilient, as you may know from my socials, 188 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: My King, my big baby Giuseppe by Chocolate Labrador. He 189 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: actually passed away towards the end of this challenge, and 190 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's someone who has been through with me 191 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: everything and I've had His twelve was twelve years old 192 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: and he's helped me get through severe post natal depression 193 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: post from my extress syndrome. He was actually my profile 194 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: picture on Happen, which is like it was the old 195 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: online dating website. When I met Tom, and he sadly 196 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: passed away from cancer. He went downhill very quickly and 197 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: it was absolutely heartbreaking, and I'm still really impacted by this. 198 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: But I think from doing this particular challenge, and very 199 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: much so incorporating the Jamie Ryder Rising Phoenix Program as 200 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: part of this challenge for me, it made me a 201 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: lot more mentally resilient. And I will make a separate 202 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: episode about the Jamie Rider Mindset program because I think 203 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: it was really powerful but particularly important for people who 204 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: are who need to get therapy but can't afford it 205 00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: right now. So I'm want to do a completely separate 206 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: episode that so make sure you're obviously following the show, 207 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: because I promise I will get this created this episode 208 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: for you as soon as physically possible. But in doing 209 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: the Jami Writer Program and should I did between five 210 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes a day as part of this seventy 211 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: five challenge the Jami Writer Program, and one of the 212 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: things was you had to write seventy five blessings in 213 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: disguise of a particular trauma or event in your life 214 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: that was holding you back. Now, because I completed the 215 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: Jami Writer program within this challenge, I when I finished, 216 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: and obviously this happened to Giuseppe, I decided to take 217 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: that exercise of seventy five blessings and apply it to Giuseppe. 218 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: And I think I'm up to, you know, so far, 219 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: thirty five blessings from Giuseppe. And you know, it's a 220 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: beautiful skill that I've learned that I've incorporated back into 221 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: this challenge so and it's definitely helping me get out 222 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: of that whole of sadness and grief and heartache you 223 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: know that comes with losing someone that means so much 224 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: to you. To stepping into a place of gratitude or 225 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm so lucky you to have had some beautiful bond 226 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: with this animal. I'm so lucky to have had him 227 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: in my life for you know, twelve years. I'm so 228 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: lucky for all the wonderful things that he taught me, 229 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: and he taught my children, and I'm so lucky to 230 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: have him by my side helping me raise three young 231 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: children as well. So you know, if for me, incorporating 232 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: a strong element of personal growth rather than just health 233 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and fitness was really valuable, I'd also say that doing 234 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: this challenge is giving me a great sense of confidence 235 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: and self worth. I mean, seventy five day challenge, it's 236 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot. There are so many distractions, there are so 237 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: many temptations. There are days where it was pouring with rain. 238 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: It was I think it rained for like five days straight, 239 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: and I still exercised every day, even if it meant 240 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: putting on a raincoat and exercising outside and you know, 241 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: I or it meant like having you know, if it 242 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: was really tired and hadn't had a chance yet to 243 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: do exercise. I still do my exercise at eight pm 244 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: at night on the you know, living room sofa in 245 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: front of the TV. So actually seeing myself doing this 246 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: rather than talking about it and actually doing it honestly 247 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: and with you know, being really genuine about I did 248 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: do thirty five minutes because I set the timer. I 249 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: didn't cheat, I didn't round my minutes up or anything 250 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: like that. It really did improve my sense of confidence 251 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: and self worth. And even Tom said, I'm so proud 252 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: of you doing this. I can't believe you actually did 253 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: the whole seventy five days. Also, I would say in 254 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: doing this, and I would I think it's because I 255 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,559 Speaker 1: had a strong balance towards the personal growth side. 256 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: I feel a lot. 257 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: More calm and a lot more organized, which is something, 258 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: as you know, for my ADHD, was really valuable. It's 259 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: allowed me to see I actually need to do more 260 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: work around my organizational skills to help manage my ADHD better. 261 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: Now I know I'm selling this and it sounds amazing 262 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: and great, but I also want to share with you 263 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: the downsides of doing this as well as the risks. Now, 264 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: when I was doing this, I actually injured my knee. 265 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what I did to it. Tom's been 266 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: treating it for me, but I think from going from 267 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: doing exercise to three times a week to six times 268 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: a week, my body I'm getting old, I'm getting achy, 269 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: and my joints aren't the same. But my knee really 270 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: really hurt. And even with my knee hurting, I didn't 271 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: give up. I just pivoted. I did a different style 272 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: of exercise. You know, instead of doing the bike, I 273 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: would do more weights, lying down and focused on core stability. 274 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: And so forth. 275 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: So I worked around it, but I wouldn't have injured 276 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: myself if I wasn't doing this challenge. I would also 277 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: say there is a negative impact on your mental health 278 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: if you have over committed and you know, you agree 279 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: to do this and put it out there and then realize, actually, 280 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: this is unrealistic. I can't possibly do this in my 281 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: lifestyle because then you'd feel really bad about yourself. You'd 282 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: have obviously a negative impact on your mental health. I 283 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: would also say that there were elements and this wasn't 284 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: so much for me, but it was justly my opair 285 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: where she started to feel like, oh, I really don't 286 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: want to go and exercise, and I also I felt 287 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: like that time as well. But if you're doing the 288 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: same type of excit size over and over again, you 289 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: could fall out of love with that particular exercise. You know, 290 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: too much of the same thing is never great. The 291 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: other thing I would say that's negative about this is 292 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: a diet of your choice under the official hard seventy 293 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: five rules. That sounds a bit flaky. Is that healthy? 294 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: Is that a balanced diart? I just I don't I 295 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: really question that. I'm not a dietician. I'm not a doctor, 296 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't work in fitness and industry. But to me, 297 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think there could be some clear boundaries, 298 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, maybe around that. Also drinking four and a 299 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: half laters of water. I think like everyone needs to 300 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: go and do their own research. But there is quite 301 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: a bit of studies about obviously over diluting your body 302 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: of all the electrodes from drinking too much water. And 303 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: you know the other thing with this is it is 304 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: hard to sustain. Like, if you're going to do this challenge, 305 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: you've got to look at what your calendar looks like 306 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: for the next seventy five days. You know, doing this 307 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: during school holidays if you've got kids can be hard, 308 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: or if you're going away on holidays, this could be 309 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: really hard. Or if you've got lots of social events 310 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: coming up where you've got late nights, or you know 311 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: that you're going to be at an event where you'll 312 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: want to have a glass of wine, you know, this 313 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: could be hard. So you really need to do to 314 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: make sure you time this at something that's right for you. Now, 315 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking of doing this all over again, and 316 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm actually going to invite you to join me and 317 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: do this together. So I want to do another version, 318 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: a soft version, and I'm going to call it seventy 319 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: five Canna And this is what I'm thinking of doing. 320 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: And it's six thirty five minute training sessions per week 321 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: like I previously did, but one of those training sessions 322 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: can actually be thirty five minutes of stretching. I realized 323 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: that my body is old and aggy, you know, maybe 324 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: six is a bit too much for my body and 325 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: my joints. So I have a day off to recover. 326 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: But also i have a day off to recover, but 327 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: I'm still technically doing exercise because I'm doing thirty five 328 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: minutes of stretching. And I did this the other day 329 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: and I was like when I finished, I was like, gosh, 330 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: my body actually feels really good after stretching. Was like 331 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: my body was like thanking me. Because I'm someone who 332 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: goes to the gym and exercises straight away, I'm irresponsible 333 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: not probably warming up. And I'm also too impatient that 334 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: when I finish my workout, I don't stand there and 335 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: stretch for five minutes like I should. I pretty much, 336 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, jump in the pool or walk out the 337 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: door and get on with my day. So I think 338 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: adding this component of one of those thirty five minute 339 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 1: sessions being stretching, is great for me. The other thing 340 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm thinking of doing as a rule is adding in 341 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: an area that I need to either organize, tidy, or declutter. 342 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: So what I'm thinking is, each day, I have to 343 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: find one area in my life. So it might be 344 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: a draw, it might be a cupboard, it might be 345 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: something in my bathroom, it might be my makeup kit, 346 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: it might be something even in an area in my 347 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: car where I have to declutter, tidy, or reorganize. 348 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: So do just targeting one small area once a day. 349 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: It's going to take me anywhere between one minute to 350 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: five minutes. I'm definitely going to keep in the journaling 351 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: because I love this. This was a really beautiful exercise 352 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: and I'm really in admiration of my own handwriting, if 353 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: I don't say so myself. Next is reading ten pages 354 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 1: or ten minutes of reading each day. I definitely want 355 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: to keep doing this. There were so many books I've 356 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: bought that so many books I've bought and I have 357 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: an a chance yet to read. And she felt really 358 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: good finally progressing through my list of books that I've 359 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: bought and you know, I think I knocked off maybe 360 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: four books during the seventy five challenge, which felt amazing, 361 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: and I found that I've been able to articulate myself 362 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: in a lot more I guess cohesive manner since reading more. 363 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: So I definitely want to stick to that I goat 364 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: with and that's non negotiable. I also want to add 365 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: in an element of either financial goal work or financial 366 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: goal manifesting work where I spend the morning rereading my 367 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: financial goals or I spend my morning manifesting my goals. 368 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: So I might do some affirmations around my financial goals, 369 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: or I might do some visualization around my financial goals. 370 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: So just literally spend two to ten minutes maybe looking 371 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: at my financial goals or doing something around my financial goals. 372 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: And there might be something like, okay, well I'm going 373 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: to open I'm going to transfer one hundred dollars to 374 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: one thousand dollar project, or I'm going to review my 375 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: budget for ten minutes something that is in alignment to 376 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: my financial well being and my financial journey, and of 377 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: course including one thousand dollar project as much as possible. 378 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: And then finally, what I'm thinking for doing this seventy 379 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: five can. I challenge is eating five vegetables per day. Now, 380 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I don't 381 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: eat enough vegetables. I eat plenty of fruit, I just 382 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: don't eat the recommended daily intake of vegetables being five 383 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: vegetables per day. And I would really like to have 384 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: a go at consciously and intentionally ensuring that I have 385 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: five different vegetables per day. 386 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 2: Even if it's just you know, a couple. 387 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: Of cellery sticks or carrot sticks, or you know, half 388 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: a tomato on a sandwich, I'm still going to count that. 389 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 1: But I want to really increase the amount of fiber 390 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting from vegetables. So that is what I'm thinking 391 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: of doing. And I'm going to start this on the 392 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: ninth of June and it will finish around towards I 393 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: think around that. I think I worked out finished around 394 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: the twenty fourth of maybe August, for that full seventy 395 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: five days. And I would absolutely love for you to 396 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: join me in this challenge. Now I've shared with you 397 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: what I'm thinking of doing, and I'm going to put 398 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 1: on social media these rules so you can refer to them. 399 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: But I would love for you to come up with 400 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: your own rules as well. What I have I'm doing 401 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: for me may not necessarily work for you, or you 402 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: may actually think it's too soft, or we may actually 403 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: think it's too hard. But what I would recommend you 404 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: do as you're thinking about your seventy five rules, think 405 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: about what you need to improve in your life. For example, 406 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: you might really relate to that feeling of being overwhelmed 407 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: and disorganized and having too much clutter around you and 408 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: mess and just mayhem. So my idea of spending ten 409 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: minutes a day tidying, decluttering, or reorganizing one area for 410 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: your life might really appeal to you, But she might 411 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: be someone who's actually got that area of your life 412 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: completely sorted and downpat so doing that wouldn't actually add value. 413 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: Perhaps there's something else in your life. Perhaps there is 414 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: a course that you haven't completed, or something you've been 415 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: putting on for a long time that you can go, 416 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to put ten minutes a day 417 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: towards getting that completed. Or perhaps you like to write 418 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: a book but you've never actually sat down and got 419 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: it done, or you've got maybe two thirds of the 420 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: way and you stopped. Maybe this is the perfect challenge 421 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: for you to help you get back on top of 422 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: that particular project task challenge and completed it with the 423 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: goal of having it completed and wrapped up within that 424 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: seventy five day challenge in best time, thinking all, right, 425 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: where do I need improvement in my life? And see 426 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: if you can create a rule around that that is gentle, 427 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: empowering and small, like bite size small, so that you 428 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 1: can have it, stack it and have a great success 429 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: and breakthrough at the end of those seventy five days. 430 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 2: Now, why am. 431 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: I I doing all of this so all over again? 432 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: Like when I told my ow pair, I'm doing it 433 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: all again, I'm restarting. 434 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: She was like, why, why You've just finished? 435 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: Why would you go and do this all over again 436 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: and do this to yourself? I was like, well, I'm 437 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: actually feeling so proud of myself and I have never, well, 438 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: not for a really long time since. I think it 439 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: was in my twenties that I've actually looked like I'm 440 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: in better shape and felt proud of how much more 441 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: toned I look. I also feel like I could benefit 442 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: from particularly this. I guess you could say this minimalism 443 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: or reorganizing decluttering my life right now because my ADHD 444 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: has gotten a little bit out of control, and I 445 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: think this will be a way of managing my ADHD 446 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: without having to increase my ADHD medication. And I've still 447 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of books that I want to get through. 448 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get through those books, 449 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: and I want to I want to prioritize my manifesting 450 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: work and my manifesting skills with more intention and on 451 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: a regular basis, in alignment to my financial goals. And 452 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: I really want to see how far I can go 453 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: with my manifesting work. I've had some amazing breakthroughs. I 454 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: want to keep going and see where this goes. And 455 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: I mean eating more vegetables. 456 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 2: I don't think I know a. 457 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: Single person who doesn't need to eat more vegetables, to 458 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: be honest, of course, unless you are a vegetarian and 459 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: you're a strict vegetarian. So that is what I've been doing. 460 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: This challenge costs me absolutely nothing. This challenge definitely was 461 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: has transformed myself my life, and it's given me something 462 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: that money can't buy. 463 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: And I love that it costs absolutely. 464 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: Nothing, and it's been a lot of fun and I've 465 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: loved talking about it. I've loved receiving questions about it, 466 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: and I've had so many people ask me to make 467 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: this podcast explain all what I've been doing and why. 468 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: So now I've done all those things, but I've also 469 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: explained to you how to do this for yourself. So 470 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: as I wrap up today's episode, I want to invite 471 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: you to do this. I want you to come up 472 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: with your own five rules. And I don't want anyone 473 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: to punish themselves. Please don't do this. Nick Well, if 474 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: I skip one day or broke, didn't complete something successfully 475 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: or all the things successful, we have to restart again. No, no, no, 476 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: that rule doesn't exist with this one. And I would 477 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: love for you to share on social media tag me 478 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: and everything and hashtag seventy five canna because I would 479 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: love for us to all inspire each other, motivate each 480 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: other and see how we all look and feel on 481 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: the other side of this, and for anyone that is 482 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: actually interested. And I don't I feel a little bit 483 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: weird sharing this, but my opair when I started, she 484 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: made me a picture of myself and I'm not someone 485 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: who does that, like takes a picture of myself to 486 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: do a point of comparison, but she insisted I did it. Anyway, 487 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: I did do it, and then I'm so glad I 488 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: did this because I only took the one at the beginning, 489 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: and then I took one at the end, and I compared, 490 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: and I put them to side by side, and I 491 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: was really impressive because I actually couldn't see those changes myself, 492 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: because obviously, you know, you don't really notice that those 493 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: little improvements every day in your physical appearance. But when 494 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: I could compare between before and after, wow, I was 495 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: really taken aback by how much more toned I looked. 496 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: And it was just little things here and there.
