30 Day Spiritual Fitness Challenge

30 DAY SPIRITUAL FITNESS CHALLENGE 

Track the following 3 habits for 30 days. Show your log to the RMT and win a prize for completing the challenge.  

WHY: Spiritual Fitness just like physical fitness is something that must be cultivated. It doesn't happen by accident or overnight. Resiliency is built through the practice of targeted habits that over time build spiritual strength.  

  1. Conduct a personal AAR 

Evaluate yourself daily. You can't improve or identify things that need to change unless you keep track of what you are doing. This doesn't need to be long, you can do this in the shower. Simply ask yourself the following questions.  

  1. What have I done well today? What should I sustain/keep doing?  

    • Identify 1 thing that helped you have a good day or that made you successful. Whether it's setting to alarm clocks so you don't miss formation or hydrating the night before a hike you need to be intentional in identifying what makes successful. 

    • People are their own worst critic, forcing you to identify what you do well helps you to counteract negative patterns of thinking.  

  2. What can I improve/change today? 

    • Be specific. If you've never used S.M.A.R.T. goals this is the time to research and implement the S.M.A.R.T tool. Asking this question helps create a growth mindset. If you can't ever think of anything you can improve you are either out of touch with reality, stagnated, or haven't broken down your goals into specific enough bite size chunks to observe measurable progress.  

  1. 1 Win A day(Priorities/Goals) 

If you could only accomplish one thing today what is the most important thing you can do to make your day successful in the three areas below.  

    1. Personal Life-Self Care: Whether its doing your laundry, treating yourself to dinner, or taking a nap maintaining yourself and being fully charged is essential to make sure you're prepared to face the challenges of the day.  

    2. Work Life- Purpose/Fulfillment: A lot of life satisfaction is derived from whether or not we perceive we've accomplished anything of value in our work. There will always be urgent or important things but what is the greater yes or most important thing you can do that makes the biggest impact in your work.  

    3. Relationships- Support Structures: We are social creatures built for relationship. Phones and social media are great but identifying local people that can relate to the challenges you face and that can physically help you is a necessary skill. Relationships only improve if you're intentional in putting the effort into it.  

  1. Gratitude Log 

    1. List a minimum of 10 things you can be thankful for today. Can't repeat what you've written down from previous days.  

      • Forcing yourself to identify things you are thankful for helps you to become resilient by learning to see options and resources.  When you identify  resources, you open yourself to possibilities and begin contemplating the future. 

      • When all you can see is what you think you're entitled to or what you don't have you train your mind to not see possibilities and get stuck in the past.
