It’s time for a good old fashioned challenge. We know the tribe is strong. We know the tribe knows how to show up. And there have been a few folks out there who took on the Feb Destination Deck challenge to attend every Monday that month. Four individuals are still going strong after that challenge and haven’t missed a single Monday since the start of Feb. Other tribe members have challenged themselves to get to all 3 workouts in a week, or even to all in a single month.
So here’s the challenge. Pick your goal for showing up. Some possibilities:
- All 3 workouts in the same week
- All Mondays for a month. Or all Wednesdays, or all Fridays.
- Every workout for an entire month.
- One workout this month (this is ideal for those who’ve been away for the winter or a couple of years)
- Friday this week, Wednesday next week, Monday the following week.
- All the workouts that Bojan shows up to*.
- Some other creative and/or hardcore idea that you make up.
THEN you need to complete the following steps:
- Find an accountabilibuddy.
Someone wise NP coleader somewhere came up with the brilliant word “accountabilibuddy” and it’s a wicked smart idea about using the strength of the tribe to keep us focused on and accountable to our goals. This is someone who KNOWS your goals and will talk to you about them. Who will ask you, support you, help you, and basically not let you forget that you’re good enough, smart enough, and gosh darn it, you can accomplish what you set your mind to. They will help hold you accountable to what YOU are holding yourself accountable to.
2. Post about it on social media. Use the hashtag #myNPgoal and tag your accountabilibuddy.
But why, EmSauce?
I’ve got two reasons. First, because seeing people get a little competitive fires everyone up. And second, because we all keep getting better when we not just mindlessly go through a routine, but we purposefully choose to do things that we love and that make us better. Here’s some ideal reading about the importance of setting goals (or resolutions) and sticking to them. Nick from NP_BAL was wise AF way back in 2015, and his wisdom shouldn’t be lost in the archives of the blog.
So, get after it.
The time is now, the weather is warming, the light is more, and the tribe is strong.
