As part of the #hypefurychallenge, here is my story on...

How a 30 Day challenge taught me how to live.

Read on.

After a series of academic failures, I was depressed, overweight, and in the immortal words of my father, "living like an uncivilized animal." 😂

That story is long. I was so far gone that I needed an instruction manual on how to live, what to live for, and what I can do today.

I was so desperate for some change, that I took this 30 Day Life Transformation Challenge, and it was everything I needed. I come back to it every month, and it is, indeed, how I live.

Here's a quick run-down of how it works.

"You can't improve what you don't measure."

The Wheel of Life allows me to measure the level of my satisfaction in these 10 key areas of life.

This helped me identify what matters to me the most, and what I need to work on.

The Level-10 Vision

From where I stood, it felt like I could not afford to even wish for some of the things I wrote down as my vision in each of the 10 areas of life.

It was painful, and I needed to believe in the vision I had for myself so I made a #visionboard on Powerpoint.

Level-10 Habits

"Your level of success in any area of your life will almost always be a result of your habits."

At first, I took up one basic habit each in 5 areas so that it was absolutely doable.

‣ Physical Environment - Make the bed
‣ Health - Get sunlight. No junk food

It was hard sticking to these tiny rules but it was also very gratifying because I kept visualizing my plot on The Wheel of Life expanding each time I made my bed.

“Where you are is a result of who you were, but where you go depends entirely on who you choose to be.”

The only reason I wasn't slacking was that I was looking at my VisionBoard every morning, reminding myself that how I live today will determine how I'll get to live tomorrow.

It has been more than a 30 Day challenge for me, it is my North Star.

I use it to re-orient myself every month, especially when I feel low.

Evaluating myself on The Wheel of Life every month and seeing a little progress somewhere is extremely satisfying...

...and picking up tiny habits in all 10 dimensions of life
plus
taking one step at a time towards the Level-10 Vision has helped me love the life I have while I work to achieve the life I want.

I highly recommend taking the 30 Day challenge that accompanies Hal Elrod's book - The Miracle Morning.

I MADE myself a morning person and I escaped the cycle of dysfunction and depression thanks to the book.

And that's my story. Thank you for reading!
