While 75% made it through the first week, why is it not 100%? This means 25% of people

dropped out before their first week was over. And how many achieved their goals? 8%. When

you think about goals you've made in the past, when do you usually stop working towards those
goals? How far in?

Knock It Out in A 4-Week Challenge
Challenge yourself to improve your wellness over the next 4 weeks. Remember the six

dimensions: Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, Spiritual, Social, and Career. Be the 8% achieving

their goals.
Avoid too many areas to work on at the same time. Multitasking affects your brain and not in

a good way. Neuroscience has found when your brain focuses on more than one thing at a time,
it cannot fully give its attention to each one thing. This will fractionate your concentration,

deplete your neural resources, and tire you out. You become a statistic of someone not finishing.

Week 1: Evaluate your current lifestyle.

• Are you meeting your wellness priorities? How so? How not?

• What’s important to you when it comes to your wellness?

• Take pictures of yourself to compare to the new you in the future.
• Have your medical documents/lab work stored so you can compare a year from now.
