Why in the world do you want to get fit this Spring? Why do you want to eat clean, good mood food? Why do you want to give meditation a go? Why did you choose to sign up in the first place?
At Spring, we don’t ask you for a lot. Train as much or as little as you like. Follow the recipes if you want to, or don’t. OK, so we’re going to bribe you to track your mood, but for the most part it’s completely up to you how much you put into this feel-good challenge.
What we do recommend is that you stop for a few minutes right now and think about why you signed up in the first place. If you can keep that in mind, you’re more likely to get what you’re looking for. It’ll leave you feeling on top of the world.
So let me share with you what I’m looking for (other than a hugely successful campaign that gains national media attention, gets people talking about depression and raises a small fortune for Crisis Support Services). I want to learn to relax on demand. I’m perfectly capable of kicking back on holiday, even over the weekend. But wouldn’t it be better if I could relax a little each day? So I’m going to throw myself into the mini-meditations and commit to doing them at least once a day…. maybe even twice. According to all the regular meditators out there, it could change my life, so I’m willing to give it a go.
Whatever your motivation is for taking on Spring, keep it in mind and use it as motivation. No-one else can change your body, your health habits or your mind for you. So get on with it and remember to have fun!
