When our spirit is right, and before we work on relationships with other people, we must work on ourselves. This part of our series “100-Days In” will explore topics related to us. What is it that we gravitate to in order to cope? What does restraint look like in our daily life? How does discipline factor into our finances or our weight?
We’re talking about about it all on It’s Finally Me.

For the first few weeks of our new series, we're going to be exploring the topic of faith and the impact it has on our lives.
This episode is the story behind the 100-Day challenge and the catalyst for my change.
We can make more effective intuitive decisions when we focus on our intuition. Our intuition is made up of what we know and the experiences we have. So we do three things:
We gain more knowledge and understanding; either in general or specific to the things we do every day or the jobs we have
We listen to our bodies and the wealth of information it gives us; and we
Create better pathways of thinking in our brain by repeatedly taking corrective action while not under pressure. When we can do things how they’re supposed to be done with it doesn’t matter, your brain will do it know how to do those same things the way you do them when you’re under pressure and don’t have time to think about it.
The goal of the 100-day challenge is to develop a new lifestyle by starting or dropping a habit that does or does not benefit your future you. We are focusing on three areas of our lives: our faith, ourselves, and our relationships. I did the challenge last year, with a focus on my mental health. Reading books, listening to podcasts, going for walks, becoming more physically active, all of that started with a commitment to myself to be more emotionally and mentally healthy. My perspective had completely changed by the end of the challenge. Not only was I mentally stable, I changed my style a bit, dropped over 30 pounds, and have become the best version of myself.
I want to challenge you to do the same. Starting Sunday July 23 and going for 100 days until October 31st, I want you to challenge yourself in an area of your life. Maybe you need to focus on your mental health. Maybe it’s your spiritual health. It could even be your physical health. While this won’t be easy, it will be worth it. And the people around you will see the results.
Pledge to yourself to be the best you that you can be.
It’s finally time to ditch the excuses. It’s finally time to clear your mind. It’s finally time to commit to yourself. At the end of the 100 days, maybe even you’ll say: It’s finally me.
Remember the three ways to directing your emotions
Be open and honest about how you feel
Take responsibility
Choose how to respond
