8/16 Whole Life Wednesday

"She believed she could. So she did." - R.S. Grey
Did you enjoy last week's Whole Life Challenge Weekly Lifestyle Practice? Wasn't it fun to do something you love for 10 minutes every day...just because you love doing it? It was for me!
This week's Whole Life Challenge Weekly Lifestyle Practice is to be a friend indeed. The instructions are simple:

1. Each day this week, reach out to a friend.
2. Use whatever communication method you see fit, but strive for a genuine connection.
3. Ideally, extend an invitation, and if you’re able, meet in person — to share a meal, workout, or just be together.
4. Don’t let “time” be an excuse. Find a moment to reach out, no matter how busy you might be.
5. If you happen to meet with difficulty in getting together, don’t worry. Just keep calling, texting, and inviting.

The Whole Life Challenge folks think this is an important healthy lifestyle practice because:

"There might be no better way to build happiness into your life than to connect with the people you truly enjoy (for no other reason than you enjoy them).

Still, many of us treat our friendships and connections as leisure activities, to be nurtured only after the “real work” of being an adult is complete. We go to work, we go home, we answer our emails, we schedule our days and then — maybe then — we make time for our friends. In doing so, we lose out on a huge source of joy, putting personal connection at the back of the line.

Luckily, it doesn’t have to be this way. With just a little bit of forethought, we can elevate the role of friendship in our lives to great effect — making both ourselves and our friends happy (and improving everyone’s life along the way).
​
This week, you’ll put friendship first, reaching out with the goal of bringing more joy to your days. Give it a shot, and see if this practice fits with your life."

The Whole Life Challenge asks you to examine your life through a different lens – your physical health, your emotional health, and your overall lifestyle. This eight-week challenge will improve your daily habits, leaving you happier, healthier, and more in control of your outcomes. If you’re ready for a change, this is your opportunity. The next WLC starts in September, click the image below to join our team.
