5 Lessons I Learned from doing 30 days challenge!

From these past two months, I adopted a new strategy to bring out the best in me. I started this challenge to increase my discipline, consistency and to push myself to the limits, Here are the lessons that I've learned so far:

1. Discipline is the key

This is the most important lesson I learned during this challenge. You might be motivated during some days and some days you might not. That's where discipline comes in. It doesn't matter how great you are or how talented you are, if you don't have discipline you're NOBODY. The hunger you have to reach your goal is crucial, that's what drives you through.

• Discipline will help you to develop an attitude, which will play a huge role in your life if you want to become successful.

• Self-discipline is mainly self-control over yourself. The way you talk, respond to problems determines who you are and also affects your personality.

2. Rest Days are Crucial

For me, it was also physically harder, as the challenge I took had a tough workout and mentally sometimes it was exhausting. Therefore, you should at least have one rest day in the week to recharge your batteries and keep yourself ready for the next day.

Rest days can be boring and you might feel that you're lazy and not doing enough, but believe me, the results you'll get over time will be awesome.

• I did have workouts of a specific muscle group for 30 days straight, so rest days helped my muscle to recover and eventually grow, this played a major role for me.

• I woke up fresh and fully charged and pumped up for the next day and most excited as ever.

3. Just start it today!

Whenever you start a thing, a habit that helps you grow to become the best version of yourself, you just gotta start it. Don't wait for that Monday, for that 1st day of the month or the new year. The more you delay the more time you will lose. Your time is crucial, and you all have a purpose to accomplish. Once you start it, there's no going back then.

• Once you start, you already have accomplished that first goal of starting to do it. Most people never start, they keep delaying and eventually never start.

• At first, it will be hard but believe me if you can go through that first week, then you won't feel the need to stop.

4. It Does Get Easier

One of the most important lessons I learned. The more consistent I was, the more disciplined was, the easier it got. But you have to do it every day, that's the hard part. Once you start doing it consistently you will want to continue every day. Once you start to see the results you will not want to stop.

• You might be surprised that even one month of focusing and discipline can have a major impact on your life.

• Just imagine if you keep going for the whole year, you can turn your life around.

• It doesn't get easier, you get stronger.

Work so hard you want to quit everyday, Be so hard you never quit!

5. It doesn't matter what type of challenge it is!

The last lesson I learned is that it doesn't matter what type of challenge you take, as long as it makes you feel good, improves your life and brings out the best in you, it's all good. As in my case, I'm a fitness enthusiast and take challenges related to that and that has made a lot of difference. Here are some good 30-day challenges-

• Taking daily walks

• Starting a side business

• Sticking to a budget

• Eliminating a bad habit, etc

Also, you might be wondering that once my 30 days are over should I not continue doing it. ABSOLUTELY NOT! Once you get the results you will want to continue and keep going. I know you can't completely transform yourself in 30 days, imagine if you do it for the whole year you'll get that change.

RESULTS HAPPEN OVERTIME, NOT OVERNIGHT. WORK HARD, STAY CONSISTENT AND BE PATIENT.

At last, I'd like to say that just start. It doesn't matter if you know nothing, you will learn something on every path you go through. Life is a journey, believe me, It's the journey, not the destination that will make you more happy, satisfied and proud.

Suffer now, and life the rest of your life as a champion.
