"The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; 
to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity."
— Benjamin Franklin

Day 30 of 30: Congratulations!!!!

DAY 30 of 30!
TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE!
You made it, CONGRATULATIONS! I hope this is the beginning of many successful 30 DAY CHALLENGES for you!

Today's Focus: REJOICE!

Yes, enjoy the fact you're on your last day! You see, it's really the journey that matters when you look back. It's the journey that brought you where you're at today. It's the journey that helped you learn about yourself along the way, helped you see your imperfections, your strengths, and helped you realize your 'limit' is something you've placed upon yourself. Yes, you CAN do it! 

When you participate in the 30 DAY CHALLENGE, you grow much along the way. There is a lot to be learned in a single day, combine that over 30 days and you've been exposed to all sorts of new possibilities. 

THE TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE is more than just going without for 30 days, it's an awakening of mind, body, spirit, and character. Participating in the 'exercise' of the daily blogs, and contemplating what each one means to you, is an integral part of your success, not only for 30 days, but for all future CHALLENGES, as well.

Many of our CHALLENGES are based on our perception of them. Many perceptions are then feed by emotion, and  

leads us either down a productive path, or a destructive path, 

depending on how you perceived it to begin with. 

As many of the CHALLENGERS have e-mailed me with their CHALLENGES (for personal reasons), I can tell you this: The majority involved eating. People who knew what to do but chose otherwise. People who have a basic understanding of eating healthy, and people who honestly just guess at what they're doing when it comes to eating. Others were about spending, drinking, and yet others involved being on the computer, way too much. Yes, we also had people who chose to drink more water every day, eat their vegetables, and get eight hours of sleep.

CONGRATULATIONS!

MANY, IF NOT ALL, EATING ISSUES HAVE AN EMOTIONAL COMPONENT. IN FACT, I BELIEVE SPENDING, DRINKING, COMPUTER ISSUES, AND ALL ADDICTIONS HAVE THE SAME UNDERLYING EMOTIONAL COMPONENTS. 

There is something that gives you pleasure, or perhaps takes you out of a stressful place to a comforting place, or gives you a sense of power, when you give in to temptations. What you need to realize is this, what started off as a comfort, becomes an addiction, and addictions do anything BUT give you power. 

In fact, in the long-run they will leave you feeling powerless, and out of control.

This is why it's crucial to learn and understand, your own feelings, and DEAL WITH THEM! Don't bury them, ignore them, stuff yourself silly trying to keep them down, drink, spend, or waste any of your precious time away! It's simply NOT worth it! I want you to think of this each time you're tempted, to be lulled away. Think about how much time, effort, and resources are utterly wasted by masking your problems instead of dealing with them. These addictions cost people their relationships, their dreams, their goals, and sometimes...even their lives! DO NOT BE DECEIVED. The interesting thing is, you're the only person who truly knows what you're thinking, how you feel about it, and the 'stress' factor on your body. Therefore,  

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TAKE CHARGE.

JILL'S TIP FOR YOU

If you notice anything you feel like you're starting to cling to, that isn't healthy, run from it! If your family wants you to buy cookies or candy every week at the store, it's a red flag, simply say, "No, we don't have to get those every week". This way you're not only reinforcing your new found habit, but you're also helping your children. Our children want what we teach them for the most part. If youngsters crave sweets, and want soda, etc., take a good look at your own habits. Yes, they will make decisions of their own while they're at school, etc., but your influence has a great impact on them. 

On to the next TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE cycle! Please, tell all your friends, family, co-workers, the postman, you get the idea, about the 30 DAY CHALLENGE! Give them the blogspot address and share the rewards with all you know. You never know, you could really have helped someone change their life, for the better! Be sure to tell them about the Face Book TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE, as well. 'LIKE' the page too, while you're at it! Be sure to add me as your friend if I haven't already, I'd like to stay in touch with you, and all your future success stories!

May your DAY 30 of 30 be filled with much gratitude, excitement, enlightenment, and peace. May your hearts be filled with hope and faith, and a new found belief in you and your own ability to make the changes you desire in your life.

Health and Hugs,
Jill

Day 29 of 30: Journaling: A Look at Where You've Been

DAY 29 of 30!
TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE!
Here you are, one day away from ending the first cycle of your 30 DAY CHALLENGE! If you're planing on moving on to another cycle of the TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE to improve in another area, or onto another item on your list, that you'd like to omit from your lifestyle, or implement into your lifestyle, or make a transformation 30 days at a time, begin making your plans today!

I suggest taking the 31st off, and begin your new 30 DAY CHALLENGE straight up on September 1st! Very fun, very exciting! I'm stoked! This month has been very successful, yes challenging, but very successful, I couldn't have ask for more. I hope your journey has proven positive for you, as well. 

You can apply the TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE anywhere, anytime, for any reason. You don't need to have the 'perfect' plan, 'perfect' time, 'perfect' anything, but you DO need to put some thought into it, and a lot of conscious, and physical effort, as it will not happen haphazardly. 

TODAY'S FOCUS: JOURNALING

If you haven't kept a journal, or some sort of notes on your calendar, today is a great day to do it. Write about how you felt about your CHALLENGE to begin with, what it was like along the way, and what's it like to reach the end, yes, tomorrow! Write about your personal growth: Mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Make note of people who have come into your life, and perhaps a few who have left. Write down the blessing and opportunities that came to you, and where you stepped out of your comfort zone to create a better you. Be sure to include your feelings. You will use this journal to remind you of your success, your ability to overcome, to prepare, plan, execute, and fulfill your CHALLENGE, and it will motivate you whenever you need an extra boost!

Have a wonderful DAY 29 of 30!

Day 28 of 30: Our Deepest Fear....

DAY 28 OF 30!
TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE! 

Stand tall. Believe in yourself. Let doubt be buried. Let confidence arise. Learn from your mistakes. Press forward. Don't look back. Smile. Live. Love. Laugh. Hugs!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson

Peace to you. DAY 28 of 30!
