Challenge #2: Nourish Your Body

Time to read: 45 seconds to read. Doing this challenge will give you time

Welcome to week 2 of your Summer challenge!

I hope you enjoyed your first challenge - choosing EASE. (If you missed last week and want to understand the goal and structure of this challenge, scroll down to the P.P.S. for more info.)

Here is your second challenge.

Nourish your body. For many years, I was so involved in my work, I forgot to eat. By evening, I was starving and depleted. This routine became a habit until one day I wondered if I needed to feel this crappy.

Guess what? You don't. The solution is easy,

Eat

So, for this week's challenge, you have some options, all of which involve eating. If you skip breakfast, try adding something to your morning - toast, an egg, fruit. My husband discovered overnight oats and eating those every morning has profoundly changed how my body feels all day.

If you skip lunch, commit to eating during the day.

You are a human with a body and your body needs fuel. So, this week, eat consistently and see how you feel.

If you're already feeling refreshed, please invite your friends and colleagues to join you. All they have to do is sign up for this newsletter to be part of the fun. They can sign up here.

If you have something you'd like me to address in this challenge, please reach out. Tell me the thing you'd like to shift, and I'll add a challenge tailored for you (and you can bet others need it, too!).

P.S. If you love this challenge, your friends and colleagues will, too. Share this link with them so they can join us!

P.P.S. Each week, an easy challenge will arrive in your inbox. Each activity/change/new perspective will be easy to implement alongside your regular life, meaning you don't have to buy special equipment or add to your mental load.

You may already be doing some of the things. Some may be new. You may choose to do some and not others. You might do some for one day and repeat others until they integrate into habits.

I encourage you to do as many as you can to get the most out of this experience. You have a week to practice and some will stick with you all summer and perhaps forever.

Many small shifts over the course of the summer will add up to profound change - healthier habits, feeling good in your body, and a calmer mind.

Do This One Tiny Thing #1

Breakfast!

Hey!

Here at the Corporate Rebel, we prioritize ease. My clients's lives are full so their coaching efforts must deliver the biggest bang for their buck. For the next 5 weeks, I'm going to share 5 fundamental strategies to help you get big results from small changes.

I invite you to make one tiny change each week in each of five areas. When you do, your efforts will add up and lead to more calm, energy and clarity.

Here's the first area: Nutrition.

Food = fuel. You already know everything there is to know about nutrition. Now it's time to make one small change in your eating habits to support your energy-level, focus and productivity. (Think about how hard it is to get stuff done when you're hungry.)

Here are some suggestions:

• I used to "forget" to eat lunch. A couple of years ago, I committed to eating lunch every day.
• Drop one cup of coffee.
• If you're not a breakfast eater, try eating a little breakfast.
• Add a salad to your dinner menu.
• Add a piece of fruit to your afternoon snack.
• Think of the next five weeks as a little mini-challenge (with a break for Thanksgiving). Make one small change each week. Easy peasy.

You'll get a big bang for your buck.

If you have a minute, post your action to The Corporate Rebel HQ Facebook group. Comment (or join) here. The simple act of sharing your commitment with others ensures your accountability and success.

Have a great weekend!
