Speaker 1: Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of
Speaker 1: Sugar Mama's Fireplay. I am your host financial planner Canna Campbell.
Speaker 1: In today's episode is a little bit different. I want
Speaker 1: to share with you a fun challenge that I did
Speaker 1: that costs absolutely nothing but really has had quite an
Speaker 1: impact in my life. Even Tom, who's my biggest fan
Speaker 1: but also my biggest critic, has said this has been
Speaker 1: quite transformational, and I am inclined to agree. Some habits,
Speaker 1: some attitudes, some lifestyle choices have really shifted.
Speaker 2: And changed for the better of my life.
Speaker 1: And I want to share with you exactly what I
Speaker 1: did why, and also share with you why I'm going
Speaker 1: to do it all over again and invite you to
Speaker 1: join me. Now, what am I talking about. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the seventy five Challenge, which you may have seen
Speaker 1: me post sporadically on my Instagram account Canna Campbell Official,
Speaker 1: as well as obviously the Sugar Mama Instagram account. I'm
Speaker 1: going to go back a bit and explain first of all,
Speaker 1: what the seventy five challenge is, and it's often known
Speaker 1: as seventy five hard. So this is a transformative mental
Speaker 1: toughness challenges called and It was created by a guy
Speaker 1: called Andy Faesel, and it is designed to help you
Speaker 1: develop certain areas in your life or characteristics that you
Speaker 1: lack and to change them for the better and to
Speaker 1: make long term change. Now with seventy five Hard, it
Speaker 1: is something you're sort of five or six rules that
Speaker 1: you follow every single day and if you and you
Speaker 1: have to do it for seventy five days straight. Now,
Speaker 1: if you skip one of those five rules or break
Speaker 1: one of those five rules during the seventy five Hard Challenge,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to go back to day one and start
Speaker 1: all over again. But here are the rules that you're
Speaker 1: supposed to follow for Hard seventy five, and that is
Speaker 1: you stick to one diet of your choice. You drink
Speaker 1: no alcohol. You have to exercise or twice a day,
Speaker 1: with each exercise being a minimum of forty five minutes,
Speaker 1: and one of those exercises has to be actually performed
Speaker 1: outside in the sunlight, in the elements, in the fresh air.
Speaker 1: You also have to drink four and a half liters
Speaker 1: of water, and you have to take a daily photograph,
Speaker 1: and you have to read at least ten pages of nonfiction.
Speaker 1: And some people say you also have to do ten
Speaker 1: minutes of journaling. Now you do come out the other
Speaker 1: side as a different person, and as Andy Fizzel, the
Speaker 1: founder of this challenge, he says, you'll come out a
Speaker 1: far more disciplined person and someone very very different.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I didn't do hard seventy five. I did, you could
Speaker 1: say soft seventy five. I created my own rules because
Speaker 1: I knew that hard seventy five was completely unrealistic for me,
Speaker 1: and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I knew that
Speaker 1: I didn't have the time to be exercising twice today,
Speaker 1: each time for forty five minutes. I'm not someone who
Speaker 1: has a problem with alcohol. I enjoy the occasional glass
Speaker 1: of champagne. But it did to me quitting alcohol for
Speaker 1: seventy five days didn't really add any value. And I also,
Speaker 1: you know, I drink a lot of water anyway, so
Speaker 1: I didn't really see the point of the forty four
Speaker 1: and a half laters. And to me, that seemed a
Speaker 1: bit excessive. But I really wanted to do something like this.
Speaker 1: I was feeling a little bit lost. I wanted something
Speaker 1: to sink my teeth in and to give me a
Speaker 1: point of focus. And I guess I was curious to
Speaker 1: see what was what was this all about. It's quite
Speaker 1: a viral trend at the moment on social media, and
Speaker 1: actually my O pair who's living this at the moment,
Speaker 1: she was doing it and I was seeing it. You know,
Speaker 1: I was really inspired by her. So I decided to
Speaker 1: jump on this bandwagon. And I actually want to do it,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to keep it realistic. So I actually
Speaker 1: created my own rules, and these are the rules that
Speaker 1: I did for my version of seventy five. So I
Speaker 1: did six workouts per week for a minimum of thirty
Speaker 1: five minutes. I journaled every morning for at least ten minutes.
Speaker 1: I also use this as an opportunity to get things
Speaker 1: done that I'd been putting off or had blocks around
Speaker 1: for the last six to nine months, including the Jamie
Speaker 1: Ryder Rising Phoenix Mindset program. So I agreed, okay, what
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. If I'm going to do seventy five,
Speaker 1: I'm going to make sure I do at least, you know,
Speaker 1: ten minutes a day of this particular program and aimed
Speaker 1: to try and finish it. I also read for at
Speaker 1: least ten minutes every morning and sorry at least ten
Speaker 1: pages of nonfiction, and I pretty much did this, and
Speaker 1: I also towards as I finished the Jamie Rider program,
Speaker 1: which I successfully completed within the seventy five days, I
Speaker 1: shifted that to some goal setting manifestation work. Now, what
Speaker 1: I also did is I would say I stuck to this. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I reckon about eighty seven percent of the time. And
Speaker 1: where for example, maybe I did only five workouts and
Speaker 1: so six workouts for the week, I made sure that
Speaker 1: when I did do workouts, I trained for forty five
Speaker 1: minutes instead of thirty five, so I could make up
Speaker 1: for those days that I lost. And there are plenty
Speaker 1: of days also where I read for more than ten
Speaker 1: minutes or I read more than ten pages, and there
Speaker 1: were days where I definitely journaled for a lot longer.
Speaker 2: Now one of the.
Speaker 1: Ways that I stuck to this, and I'm actually surprised
Speaker 1: as to how easy for me it was to stick
Speaker 1: to I got out of bed, which I do every
Speaker 1: day normally at five am, but I had I did
Speaker 1: a couple of things before I went to bed to
Speaker 1: make sure that I would hit the ground running and
Speaker 1: not get distracted and jump off my phone or have
Speaker 1: a conversation with Tom. So I actually left my notebook
Speaker 1: and pen out on the sofa, so the moment I
Speaker 1: sat down the sofa, I could immediately start journaling. I
Speaker 1: also scheduled in my diary as to when I was
Speaker 1: going to do the exercises, like what worked with the
Speaker 1: kid's routine, when I'd have a quick break to myself
Speaker 1: to pop down to the.
Speaker 2: Gym or where.
Speaker 1: You know, how was I going to efficiently ensure that
Speaker 1: I got that thirty five minutes of exercise? And I
Speaker 1: found that, you know, I would actually go and take
Speaker 1: the dogs for a walk and walk past some of
Speaker 1: the outdoor gyms and just stop there for thirty five
Speaker 1: minutes into a whole pile of exercise while the dogs
Speaker 1: were running around. And you know, I would also put
Speaker 1: my book that I was reading at the time, you know,
Speaker 1: also next to the journal, so the moment I finished
Speaker 1: the journal, I would go straight to my book.
Speaker 2: And I also spoke about this.
Speaker 1: I think putting it out on social media is obviously
Speaker 1: makes you accountable. It does put a little bit of
Speaker 1: pressure yourself because you really want to maintain it, but
Speaker 1: it and I also left my exercise gear out, so
Speaker 1: you know, I'd get straight into my exercise gear, so
Speaker 1: I'd be ready to do some sort of exercise while thinking,
Speaker 1: oh gosh, it's cold, I don't want to have to
Speaker 1: change my warm clothes, you know, stripped down and put
Speaker 1: on my exercise gear, and I think, you know, talking
Speaker 1: about it to other people and really paying attention to
Speaker 1: how I felt after doing exercise, how I felt after journaling.
Speaker 1: It really actually made me realize how powerful this is
Speaker 1: and how much I'm learning about myself and how I'm
Speaker 1: actually evolving. So for me, it actually wasn't hard to
Speaker 1: stick to. I will admit, though not I didn't follow
Speaker 1: the rule of if I missed or didn't successfully complete
Speaker 1: each day. I didn't punish myself by going back to
Speaker 1: day one. I just continued on, pushed on, and as
Speaker 1: I said, I tried to make it up for other
Speaker 1: days so that, you know, when you average it all out,
Speaker 1: I was pretty much close to being you know, one
Speaker 1: hundred percent as best I could. So this is it
Speaker 1: wasn't about being mean or punishing myself. It was about
Speaker 1: enjoying the process and making it empowering, making exciting and
Speaker 1: ripping all the beautiful benefits from doing this. Now, how
Speaker 1: did this challenge help me? And I'd say, it helped
Speaker 1: me so much. So it created some amazing habits and
Speaker 1: gave me a beautiful sense of direction and structure, particularly
Speaker 1: to my mornings. I'm someone who really likes to get
Speaker 1: a lot of things done in the first half of
Speaker 1: the day so I can take my foot off the
Speaker 1: gas and relax a bit. And for someone who ADHD,
Speaker 1: that is someone something I find really really helpful if
Speaker 1: I just try and get as much done and then
Speaker 1: I can kind of let my brain go a bit wild,
Speaker 1: you know, after one o'clock. Of course, obviously, going from
Speaker 1: someone who does exercise two to three times a week
Speaker 1: going to exercise six days per week, wow, I felt
Speaker 1: so much stronger. I looked so much leaner and toned,
Speaker 1: and my posture is so much better also from my journaling.
Speaker 1: But I will say it was the one where I
Speaker 1: was like really journaling, like oh, that's so not me
Speaker 1: that probably had the biggest best uplift for me. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize how much journaling helps get the clutter, the noise,
Speaker 1: the anxiety out of your head and body down onto
Speaker 1: paper where you get a sense of perspective and you
Speaker 1: can just release it all. And it was I felt
Speaker 1: mentally a lot happier and a lot calmer, and my
Speaker 1: hand right from journaling every day improved out of sight.
Speaker 1: In fact, I would even go a spar as saying,
Speaker 1: my handwriting is actually really beautiful and really elegant now
Speaker 1: after journaling every single day, I also noticed that I
Speaker 1: felt way more creative. I'm someone who gets, I guess
Speaker 1: very easily inspired anyway, but I would get this wave
Speaker 1: of inspiration where ten ideas would hit me at one time.
Speaker 1: In doing this challenge, I found that my creative ideas
Speaker 1: came to me consistently, but in a gentle flow throughout
Speaker 1: the day, rather than less literally, you know, having ten
Speaker 1: ideas being catapulted into my brain at the same time.
Speaker 1: It was like there was a beautiful flow or rhythm
Speaker 1: of ideas coming to me throughout the day consistently. I
Speaker 1: also felt, from you know, whilst doing this challenge, a
Speaker 1: lot more emotionally resilient, as you may know from my socials,
Speaker 1: My King, my big baby Giuseppe by Chocolate Labrador. He
Speaker 1: actually passed away towards the end of this challenge, and
Speaker 1: you know, he's someone who has been through with me
Speaker 1: everything and I've had His twelve was twelve years old
Speaker 1: and he's helped me get through severe post natal depression
Speaker 1: post from my extress syndrome. He was actually my profile
Speaker 1: picture on Happen, which is like it was the old
Speaker 1: online dating website. When I met Tom, and he sadly
Speaker 1: passed away from cancer. He went downhill very quickly and
Speaker 1: it was absolutely heartbreaking, and I'm still really impacted by this.
Speaker 1: But I think from doing this particular challenge, and very
Speaker 1: much so incorporating the Jamie Ryder Rising Phoenix Program as
Speaker 1: part of this challenge for me, it made me a
Speaker 1: lot more mentally resilient. And I will make a separate
Speaker 1: episode about the Jamie Rider Mindset program because I think
Speaker 1: it was really powerful but particularly important for people who
Speaker 1: are who need to get therapy but can't afford it
Speaker 1: right now. So I'm want to do a completely separate
Speaker 1: episode that so make sure you're obviously following the show,
Speaker 1: because I promise I will get this created this episode
Speaker 1: for you as soon as physically possible. But in doing
Speaker 1: the Jami Writer Program and should I did between five
Speaker 1: to twenty minutes a day as part of this seventy
Speaker 1: five challenge the Jami Writer Program, and one of the
Speaker 1: things was you had to write seventy five blessings in
Speaker 1: disguise of a particular trauma or event in your life
Speaker 1: that was holding you back. Now, because I completed the
Speaker 1: Jami Writer program within this challenge, I when I finished,
Speaker 1: and obviously this happened to Giuseppe, I decided to take
Speaker 1: that exercise of seventy five blessings and apply it to Giuseppe.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm up to, you know, so far,
Speaker 1: thirty five blessings from Giuseppe. And you know, it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful skill that I've learned that I've incorporated back into
Speaker 1: this challenge so and it's definitely helping me get out
Speaker 1: of that whole of sadness and grief and heartache you
Speaker 1: know that comes with losing someone that means so much
Speaker 1: to you. To stepping into a place of gratitude or
Speaker 1: I'm so lucky you to have had some beautiful bond
Speaker 1: with this animal. I'm so lucky to have had him
Speaker 1: in my life for you know, twelve years. I'm so
Speaker 1: lucky for all the wonderful things that he taught me,
Speaker 1: and he taught my children, and I'm so lucky to
Speaker 1: have him by my side helping me raise three young
Speaker 1: children as well. So you know, if for me, incorporating
Speaker 1: a strong element of personal growth rather than just health
Speaker 1: and fitness was really valuable, I'd also say that doing
Speaker 1: this challenge is giving me a great sense of confidence
Speaker 1: and self worth. I mean, seventy five day challenge, it's
Speaker 1: a lot. There are so many distractions, there are so
Speaker 1: many temptations. There are days where it was pouring with rain.
Speaker 1: It was I think it rained for like five days straight,
Speaker 1: and I still exercised every day, even if it meant
Speaker 1: putting on a raincoat and exercising outside and you know,
Speaker 1: I or it meant like having you know, if it
Speaker 1: was really tired and hadn't had a chance yet to
Speaker 1: do exercise. I still do my exercise at eight pm
Speaker 1: at night on the you know, living room sofa in
Speaker 1: front of the TV. So actually seeing myself doing this
Speaker 1: rather than talking about it and actually doing it honestly
Speaker 1: and with you know, being really genuine about I did
Speaker 1: do thirty five minutes because I set the timer. I
Speaker 1: didn't cheat, I didn't round my minutes up or anything
Speaker 1: like that. It really did improve my sense of confidence
Speaker 1: and self worth. And even Tom said, I'm so proud
Speaker 1: of you doing this. I can't believe you actually did
Speaker 1: the whole seventy five days. Also, I would say in
Speaker 1: doing this, and I would I think it's because I
Speaker 1: had a strong balance towards the personal growth side.
Speaker 2: I feel a lot.
Speaker 1: More calm and a lot more organized, which is something,
Speaker 1: as you know, for my ADHD, was really valuable. It's
Speaker 1: allowed me to see I actually need to do more
Speaker 1: work around my organizational skills to help manage my ADHD better.
Speaker 1: Now I know I'm selling this and it sounds amazing
Speaker 1: and great, but I also want to share with you
Speaker 1: the downsides of doing this as well as the risks. Now,
Speaker 1: when I was doing this, I actually injured my knee.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I did to it. Tom's been
Speaker 1: treating it for me, but I think from going from
Speaker 1: doing exercise to three times a week to six times
Speaker 1: a week, my body I'm getting old, I'm getting achy,
Speaker 1: and my joints aren't the same. But my knee really
Speaker 1: really hurt. And even with my knee hurting, I didn't
Speaker 1: give up. I just pivoted. I did a different style
Speaker 1: of exercise. You know, instead of doing the bike, I
Speaker 1: would do more weights, lying down and focused on core stability.
Speaker 2: And so forth.
Speaker 1: So I worked around it, but I wouldn't have injured
Speaker 1: myself if I wasn't doing this challenge. I would also
Speaker 1: say there is a negative impact on your mental health
Speaker 1: if you have over committed and you know, you agree
Speaker 1: to do this and put it out there and then realize, actually,
Speaker 1: this is unrealistic. I can't possibly do this in my
Speaker 1: lifestyle because then you'd feel really bad about yourself. You'd
Speaker 1: have obviously a negative impact on your mental health. I
Speaker 1: would also say that there were elements and this wasn't
Speaker 1: so much for me, but it was justly my opair
Speaker 1: where she started to feel like, oh, I really don't
Speaker 1: want to go and exercise, and I also I felt
Speaker 1: like that time as well. But if you're doing the
Speaker 1: same type of excit size over and over again, you
Speaker 1: could fall out of love with that particular exercise. You know,
Speaker 1: too much of the same thing is never great. The
Speaker 1: other thing I would say that's negative about this is
Speaker 1: a diet of your choice under the official hard seventy
Speaker 1: five rules. That sounds a bit flaky. Is that healthy?
Speaker 1: Is that a balanced diart? I just I don't I
Speaker 1: really question that. I'm not a dietician. I'm not a doctor,
Speaker 1: I don't work in fitness and industry. But to me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think there could be some clear boundaries,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe around that. Also drinking four and a
Speaker 1: half laters of water. I think like everyone needs to
Speaker 1: go and do their own research. But there is quite
Speaker 1: a bit of studies about obviously over diluting your body
Speaker 1: of all the electrodes from drinking too much water. And
Speaker 1: you know the other thing with this is it is
Speaker 1: hard to sustain. Like, if you're going to do this challenge,
Speaker 1: you've got to look at what your calendar looks like
Speaker 1: for the next seventy five days. You know, doing this
Speaker 1: during school holidays if you've got kids can be hard,
Speaker 1: or if you're going away on holidays, this could be
Speaker 1: really hard. Or if you've got lots of social events
Speaker 1: coming up where you've got late nights, or you know
Speaker 1: that you're going to be at an event where you'll
Speaker 1: want to have a glass of wine, you know, this
Speaker 1: could be hard. So you really need to do to
Speaker 1: make sure you time this at something that's right for you. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking of doing this all over again, and
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to invite you to join me and
Speaker 1: do this together. So I want to do another version,
Speaker 1: a soft version, and I'm going to call it seventy
Speaker 1: five Canna And this is what I'm thinking of doing.
Speaker 1: And it's six thirty five minute training sessions per week
Speaker 1: like I previously did, but one of those training sessions
Speaker 1: can actually be thirty five minutes of stretching. I realized
Speaker 1: that my body is old and aggy, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: six is a bit too much for my body and
Speaker 1: my joints. So I have a day off to recover.
Speaker 1: But also i have a day off to recover, but
Speaker 1: I'm still technically doing exercise because I'm doing thirty five
Speaker 1: minutes of stretching. And I did this the other day
Speaker 1: and I was like when I finished, I was like, gosh,
Speaker 1: my body actually feels really good after stretching. Was like
Speaker 1: my body was like thanking me. Because I'm someone who
Speaker 1: goes to the gym and exercises straight away, I'm irresponsible
Speaker 1: not probably warming up. And I'm also too impatient that
Speaker 1: when I finish my workout, I don't stand there and
Speaker 1: stretch for five minutes like I should. I pretty much,
Speaker 1: you know, jump in the pool or walk out the
Speaker 1: door and get on with my day. So I think
Speaker 1: adding this component of one of those thirty five minute
Speaker 1: sessions being stretching, is great for me. The other thing
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of doing as a rule is adding in
Speaker 1: an area that I need to either organize, tidy, or declutter.
Speaker 1: So what I'm thinking is, each day, I have to
Speaker 1: find one area in my life. So it might be
Speaker 1: a draw, it might be a cupboard, it might be
Speaker 1: something in my bathroom, it might be my makeup kit,
Speaker 1: it might be something even in an area in my
Speaker 1: car where I have to declutter, tidy, or reorganize.
Speaker 2: So do just targeting one small area once a day.
Speaker 1: It's going to take me anywhere between one minute to
Speaker 1: five minutes. I'm definitely going to keep in the journaling
Speaker 1: because I love this. This was a really beautiful exercise
Speaker 1: and I'm really in admiration of my own handwriting, if
Speaker 1: I don't say so myself. Next is reading ten pages
Speaker 1: or ten minutes of reading each day. I definitely want
Speaker 1: to keep doing this. There were so many books I've
Speaker 1: bought that so many books I've bought and I have
Speaker 1: an a chance yet to read. And she felt really
Speaker 1: good finally progressing through my list of books that I've
Speaker 1: bought and you know, I think I knocked off maybe
Speaker 1: four books during the seventy five challenge, which felt amazing,
Speaker 1: and I found that I've been able to articulate myself
Speaker 1: in a lot more I guess cohesive manner since reading more.
Speaker 1: So I definitely want to stick to that I goat
Speaker 1: with and that's non negotiable. I also want to add
Speaker 1: in an element of either financial goal work or financial
Speaker 1: goal manifesting work where I spend the morning rereading my
Speaker 1: financial goals or I spend my morning manifesting my goals.
Speaker 1: So I might do some affirmations around my financial goals,
Speaker 1: or I might do some visualization around my financial goals.
Speaker 1: So just literally spend two to ten minutes maybe looking
Speaker 1: at my financial goals or doing something around my financial goals.
Speaker 1: And there might be something like, okay, well I'm going
Speaker 1: to open I'm going to transfer one hundred dollars to
Speaker 1: one thousand dollar project, or I'm going to review my
Speaker 1: budget for ten minutes something that is in alignment to
Speaker 1: my financial well being and my financial journey, and of
Speaker 1: course including one thousand dollar project as much as possible.
Speaker 1: And then finally, what I'm thinking for doing this seventy
Speaker 1: five can. I challenge is eating five vegetables per day. Now,
Speaker 1: this is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I don't
Speaker 1: eat enough vegetables. I eat plenty of fruit, I just
Speaker 1: don't eat the recommended daily intake of vegetables being five
Speaker 1: vegetables per day. And I would really like to have
Speaker 1: a go at consciously and intentionally ensuring that I have
Speaker 1: five different vegetables per day.
Speaker 2: Even if it's just you know, a couple.
Speaker 1: Of cellery sticks or carrot sticks, or you know, half
Speaker 1: a tomato on a sandwich, I'm still going to count that.
Speaker 1: But I want to really increase the amount of fiber
Speaker 1: I'm getting from vegetables. So that is what I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of doing. And I'm going to start this on the
Speaker 1: ninth of June and it will finish around towards I
Speaker 1: think around that. I think I worked out finished around
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth of maybe August, for that full seventy
Speaker 1: five days. And I would absolutely love for you to
Speaker 1: join me in this challenge. Now I've shared with you
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking of doing, and I'm going to put
Speaker 1: on social media these rules so you can refer to them.
Speaker 1: But I would love for you to come up with
Speaker 1: your own rules as well. What I have I'm doing
Speaker 1: for me may not necessarily work for you, or you
Speaker 1: may actually think it's too soft, or we may actually
Speaker 1: think it's too hard. But what I would recommend you
Speaker 1: do as you're thinking about your seventy five rules, think
Speaker 1: about what you need to improve in your life. For example,
Speaker 1: you might really relate to that feeling of being overwhelmed
Speaker 1: and disorganized and having too much clutter around you and
Speaker 1: mess and just mayhem. So my idea of spending ten
Speaker 1: minutes a day tidying, decluttering, or reorganizing one area for
Speaker 1: your life might really appeal to you, But she might
Speaker 1: be someone who's actually got that area of your life
Speaker 1: completely sorted and downpat so doing that wouldn't actually add value.
Speaker 1: Perhaps there's something else in your life. Perhaps there is
Speaker 1: a course that you haven't completed, or something you've been
Speaker 1: putting on for a long time that you can go,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to put ten minutes a day
Speaker 1: towards getting that completed. Or perhaps you like to write
Speaker 1: a book but you've never actually sat down and got
Speaker 1: it done, or you've got maybe two thirds of the
Speaker 1: way and you stopped. Maybe this is the perfect challenge
Speaker 1: for you to help you get back on top of
Speaker 1: that particular project task challenge and completed it with the
Speaker 1: goal of having it completed and wrapped up within that
Speaker 1: seventy five day challenge in best time, thinking all, right,
Speaker 1: where do I need improvement in my life? And see
Speaker 1: if you can create a rule around that that is gentle,
Speaker 1: empowering and small, like bite size small, so that you
Speaker 1: can have it, stack it and have a great success
Speaker 1: and breakthrough at the end of those seventy five days.
Speaker 2: Now, why am.
Speaker 1: I I doing all of this so all over again?
Speaker 1: Like when I told my ow pair, I'm doing it
Speaker 1: all again, I'm restarting.
Speaker 2: She was like, why, why You've just finished?
Speaker 1: Why would you go and do this all over again
Speaker 1: and do this to yourself? I was like, well, I'm
Speaker 1: actually feeling so proud of myself and I have never, well,
Speaker 1: not for a really long time since. I think it
Speaker 1: was in my twenties that I've actually looked like I'm
Speaker 1: in better shape and felt proud of how much more
Speaker 1: toned I look. I also feel like I could benefit
Speaker 1: from particularly this. I guess you could say this minimalism
Speaker 1: or reorganizing decluttering my life right now because my ADHD
Speaker 1: has gotten a little bit out of control, and I
Speaker 1: think this will be a way of managing my ADHD
Speaker 1: without having to increase my ADHD medication. And I've still
Speaker 1: got a lot of books that I want to get through.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get through those books,
Speaker 1: and I want to I want to prioritize my manifesting
Speaker 1: work and my manifesting skills with more intention and on
Speaker 1: a regular basis, in alignment to my financial goals. And
Speaker 1: I really want to see how far I can go
Speaker 1: with my manifesting work. I've had some amazing breakthroughs. I
Speaker 1: want to keep going and see where this goes. And
Speaker 1: I mean eating more vegetables.
Speaker 2: I don't think I know a.
Speaker 1: Single person who doesn't need to eat more vegetables, to
Speaker 1: be honest, of course, unless you are a vegetarian and
Speaker 1: you're a strict vegetarian. So that is what I've been doing.
Speaker 1: This challenge costs me absolutely nothing. This challenge definitely was
Speaker 1: has transformed myself my life, and it's given me something
Speaker 1: that money can't buy.
Speaker 2: And I love that it costs absolutely.
Speaker 1: Nothing, and it's been a lot of fun and I've
Speaker 1: loved talking about it. I've loved receiving questions about it,
Speaker 1: and I've had so many people ask me to make
Speaker 1: this podcast explain all what I've been doing and why.
Speaker 1: So now I've done all those things, but I've also
Speaker 1: explained to you how to do this for yourself. So
Speaker 1: as I wrap up today's episode, I want to invite
Speaker 1: you to do this. I want you to come up
Speaker 1: with your own five rules. And I don't want anyone
Speaker 1: to punish themselves. Please don't do this. Nick Well, if
Speaker 1: I skip one day or broke, didn't complete something successfully
Speaker 1: or all the things successful, we have to restart again. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that rule doesn't exist with this one. And I would
Speaker 1: love for you to share on social media tag me
Speaker 1: and everything and hashtag seventy five canna because I would
Speaker 1: love for us to all inspire each other, motivate each
Speaker 1: other and see how we all look and feel on
Speaker 1: the other side of this, and for anyone that is
Speaker 1: actually interested. And I don't I feel a little bit
Speaker 1: weird sharing this, but my opair when I started, she
Speaker 1: made me a picture of myself and I'm not someone
Speaker 1: who does that, like takes a picture of myself to
Speaker 1: do a point of comparison, but she insisted I did it. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I did do it, and then I'm so glad I
Speaker 1: did this because I only took the one at the beginning,
Speaker 1: and then I took one at the end, and I compared,
Speaker 1: and I put them to side by side, and I
Speaker 1: was really impressive because I actually couldn't see those changes myself,
Speaker 1: because obviously, you know, you don't really notice that those
Speaker 1: little improvements every day in your physical appearance. But when
Speaker 1: I could compare between before and after, wow, I was
Speaker 1: really taken aback by how much more toned I looked.
Speaker 1: And it was just little things here and there. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so I will go and share that before and after
Speaker 1: maybe my act as a form of like motivation or
Speaker 1: inspiration to do this yourself. Again, Please note that this
Speaker 1: is not about a materialistic physical challenge. It's actually about
Speaker 1: personal growth and development, living our best lives and learning
Speaker 1: how to create new habits in our lives that will
Speaker 1: take us to better places, happier places, and allow us
Speaker 1: to live with more richness, more security, more stability, and
Speaker 1: more harmony. All right, that is it for today's episode.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. I look forward to
Speaker 1: seeing and hearing from you on social media on Instagram
Speaker 1: and I really hope you'll be a part of hashtag
Speaker 1: seventy five camera Chow for now,
