30 Day Push

Lets take a second and think about something.. what in your life makes you happy? What is that one thing present in your life that you would not trade for the world? What if you could take that one thing and use it to push you through everyday to reach your goals? 


I was so excited when Chalene Johnson's 30 DAY PUSH was brought up on a team call last week. Previously to that call I had never heard of it, but after my coach Lindsay Matway explained it and said whoever had not taken the program should and that it was FREE I was like.. Why Not?!


I went onto the website she provided us with and read the little intro on the page. Chalene Johnson PROMISES that after taking her 30 day program you will HAVE THE BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE! So I signed up for the free program and just waited until the next day to start receiving my Emails.


I'm only a little ways into the 30 DAY PUSH, but I will share with you what it is about so far. 

Chalene has you watch a short video everyday and then you have a quick "homework" assignment. She helps you list out your priorities, goals and everything else that matters to you and helps you use that to better yourself as a person. With that knowledge it is guaranteed if you give it your all you WILL REACH YOUR GOALS...


It is a repetitive process... but as Chalene states:
"IT'S TIME TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE. IT TAKES 21 DAYS TO BUILD A HABIT. IN A MONTH, YOU WILL NOT ONLY HAVE THE SKILLS TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS, BUT WILL HAVE CULTIVATED THE HABITS THAT MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL."


So what are you waiting for?!
