Participant comments:

"Because I am aware of the challenge, I have been making more of an effort to keep track of other small things I can do throughout the day like meditation, breathing exercises, work outs to get moving, and more. I appreciate the reminder and support this challenge provides! It really does help."

"I would like to thank you again for this challenge.聽 It is a conscious, mindful way of doing something for your health everyday and it has been working.聽 I am doing some things that I would normally do anyway but I am also trying new things with the challenge.聽 Because I am accountable to someone it makes me get up and move sometimes when I otherwise wouldn鈥檛. I have been doing the daily challenge everyday.聽 I鈥檝e also been trying to adapt good habits like taking a lunch everyday and either going for a walk or getting out and raking leaves in my garden.聽 I found I was slipping into some bad habits and lack of activity working from home so this has been a great motivational tool and has gotten me back on track.聽 I am grateful for that."
