Changing your lifestyle and reaching your goals in life can be overwhelming and at times seem impossible. We go round and round in circles trying to get where we want to be and with each failure our self belief is chipped away at until it almost doesn’t exist anymore. We become deflated, angry and disappointed with ourselves and in some cases we just, point blank, give up.
Read on and see What You CAN DO!
This usually happens when we make our decisions in moments of high motivation and take on too much. We are in the ‘I CAN DO ANYTHING’ mindset and literally feel like ‘THIS IS IT…THIS IS MY TIME’. Although this is an amazing place to be it is often short lived and we either stop doing what we needed to get us in that state of mind or we give up at the first hurdle. Sound familiar? Well you are NOT alone my friends…this is a very common cycle that people go through and we are here to overcome it!
The purpose of this challenge is not to just help you start your day in the right way but is also to start re building your self belief by keeping you focused on one area of self improvement at a time. Its literally 4% of your day so I have every faith that you will be able to stick to it!
Ok, so lets get to it….
This challenge will include set activities that you will complete EVERY morning! There will be days that you want to wake up, have a moan, down a coffee and stick your middle finger up at the neighbors as you speed of to work, but you can leave that for later on in the day if you still feel like it;-)
Your mornings are now going be CONSCIOUS. No more dragging yourself out of bed, walking to the toilet with your eyes closed thinking ‘I hate my life – why do mornings even exist?’, then worrying about being late, shouting at the kids, wanting to punch the alarm clock for continuing to go off even though your already up, drinking coffee, stuffing breakfast down, then driving to work in a fury ready for a day where you paint the smile on, push through the tiredness and hope no one notices you forgot to brush your teeth (the shame…hahaha)!!!
This may seem extreme but if we are honest with ourselves we have all had days like the above and these days this is more common then it really should be! Now I can’t say I can change all the crap things that happen to you but I honestly believe that what you do in the first hour of your day really does have an effect on the rest of it, so lets try and make things better!
The following steps have been recommend based on experience and recommendations for world professionals around the world. There is nothing too extreme and there is not anything that everyone can’t do so I am confident that this ‘Morning Mantra – Breakfast Challenge’ will be accessible and achievable for all.

Have a good day my friend…you got this shit’:-)
