30 DAY Challenge Ideas To Try During Your Quarantine

Ismail oubarka | 8:02 AM
Lately, I've had a few conversations with ladies who've chosen to make the most of this mandatory time at home.  There's already talk of certain states opening back up in the near future.  There's no telling when we'll have the opportunity again to have unlimited time to work on ourselves with very little distractions.

Who knows how things will be in 1 or 2 months from now.  There's no better time to start a 30-day challenge than this exact moment.   Allow me to share a few ideas o various 30-Day Challenge ideas to master in the upcoming weeks.
Daily at Home Workouts
Over the past 30 days, you probably either gained a little weight or lost some.  I've done both.  At first, my weight ballooned up after being locked inside with an unlimited supply of snacks on hand.  Then I came to my senses and finally realized that I had to turn things around.  A couple of things that helped me shed a few pounds was starting a few short term challenges.  The first challenge that I completed successfully was a step challenge on Fitbit.  Within a couple of weeks of walking 10k-15k steps a day, I noticed a shift on the scale.

Then I stumbled across a woman who shared before/after pics of her recent weight loss.  After being bombarded with a slew of questions, the woman responded that, along with fasting, she recommended that everyone hula hoop for 15-20 minutes a day.  You might recall that I wrote about the wonders of hula hooping for toning the waist.  By the time this quarantine lets up, we'll be nearly at the start of summer.  Wouldn't you love to enjoy the benefits of a smaller, more defined waist, thanks to the help of a hula hoop? If hula hooping isn't your thing, just pick out an activity that you enjoy and commit to doing it daily for 20 minutes a day. 

Drink Your Water Challenge 
Ever wanted to increase your water intake but restricted yourself because you didn't want to make multiple trips to a public restroom?  Well, you're in luck.  You have now been granted the perfect opportunity to experience the wonderful results everyone talks about when they drastically increase their water intake.

Having worked from home for several years, I understand the luxury of being able to take a few steps to the restroom whenever without it becoming a burden.  This allows me the opportunity to become intentional with increasing my daily water intake.  If you're working on a quarantine glow up, I strongly urge you to make it a goal to drink at least several liters of water a day. 

As a reminder, by increasing your water intake could produce these amazing results:
- clearer skin
-a smaller waistline
-a healthy scalp
-moisturized new growth
-improved digestion, sleep and overall sense of well-being

So yeah.  Don't miss out on this opportunity to drink up!

Option B would be to do a juice cleanse.  It was hard for me to incorporate juice cleanses into my busy life when I worked away from home.  But, now that I'm within a few steps of my juicer, I have no excuses.  Even if I don't have time to juice fresh veggies from scratch, I can still execute my lazy method to juicing at home. 
Thicker/Longer Hair Challenge
The inspiration for this article comes from a couple people I talked to who are excited to work on improving the health of their hair during this little hiatus.  If you haven't done so, now is the time to implement those time-consuming hair related activities that sometimes seem to eat into your busy schedule.  We have no reason to skip out on deep conditioning.  Now's the time to trim those ends since the loss of inches won't be noticed.  Since you don't have to get up early for work tomorrow, you can take the time to moisturize and seal your hair in small, individual sections. With a little extra time on our hands, we can treat ourselves to morning smoothies rich in protein to nourish our hair from within.

Daily Creation Challenge
Lastly, if you haven't been very productive during this time of quarantine, may I suggest that you utilize these upcoming weeks/days to harness your creative energy.  Once life gets back to normal, things will get hectic again.  Consider challenging yourself with creating something that will last once this mandatory lockdown is over.

Here are some ideas to get you started:
-Launching your website/blog/YT channel
-Writing a book or guide.
-Launching a product or business.
-Updating an area in your home.
-Learning a new skill

So far, I'm learning new recipes, doing a lot of home improvement, and will launch at least one new product for my brand. Basically, I want to put this extra time at home to good use.  Now that we're (possibly) nearing the end, I really want to focus over the next 30 days and get more done! 

Once this is behind us and things are back to normal again, I'd love to look back and be pleased with what I was able to accomplish during this time.

Try This Manifestation Technique to Easily Attract What You Desire.

Ismail oubarka | 5:02 AM
Although I've been aware of the Law of Attraction for over a decade, I've only really put it into daily practice fairly recently.  If you study the principles of LOA, you're pretty aware that there are several techniques that most people utilize.

I'm sure that many of you are familiar with vision boards, journaling, visualization, etc.  All of those techniques can create decent results, but I'm here to introduce you to a specific method that I've used successfully for a while now.  It works so well that it's become my primary LAO strategy.  Hopefully, this method will produce spectacular results for you as well.
As far as I know, this method isn't widely known.  As a matter of fact, I think that I may have developed it on a whim.  I remember implementing this technique during a time when there was a lot of anxiety and uncertainty in my life.  I found myself thinking a lot about what was going wrong.  In doing so, I realized that I was filling myself up with negative emotions.

Carrying around negative emotions is extremely counterproductive.  Especially if you want to experience a result that's completely different from your current reality.  It's hard to take your focus from everything that's going wrong in order to attract that which you desire.

My technique will help turn everything around.

 To focus my attention on what I'd like to attract, I make a mental (or written) list of everything that I'm looking forward to.

Here's the key:  The list must include both things that are certain to take place along with that which I wish to create.

Let me explain....

While I'm washing dishes or doing something mundane, I'll ask myself "what am I looking forward to?"

Then I'll start to rattle off a list of everything that I can't wait to experience.  At least 75% of the list must comprise of things that will absolutely take place in the near future.   I then sprinkle a few items that I want to experience via the law of attraction.

If I were to create a list right now, it would look something like this.

What am I looking forward to?
- "I can't wait to get my shipment of purchases from Amazon."
- "I'm looking forward to experiencing beautiful weather this coming weekend."
- "I'm excited to visit my mom on Wednesday."
- "I'm really looking forward to taking a long bath on Friday."
- I can't wait to binge-watch my favorite shows this weekend
-I'm looking forward to being able to have brunch with friends again.

This list represents a few things that I'm certain will take place in the near future.  I try to make the list as long as possible.  The longer, the better.

Next, I include some intentions that I'm also looking forward to experiencing.
-I can't wait to fit into a size "x" pair of jeans.
-I'm looking forward to having "x" amount of money in the bank.
- I'll be so happy to enjoy my updated back yard.
- I'm so excited to enjoy my new dining room chairs.
-I'm looking forward to being able to travel to "x" next year.

When I do this exercise in real-time, I try not to separate the certain from the uncertain.  The goal is to treat everything on the list as if they will all take place in the not too distant future.  This increases the believability potential to the intentions included as a part of the list.  Another important aspect of this exercise is to get excited about everything included on the list ( both the certain and the desired).  It's super important to include your feelings and emotions in this experience. Try to generate the same level of anticipation and excitement about your package from Amazon as the intention you wish to experience.

Why do I believe this exercise works?  Because it incorporates multiple elements of the Law of Attraction into one simple process.  You can visualize yourself experiencing it because it's so close to happening.  You incorporate positive emotions.  You can express gratitude for all the good things in your life that you're looking forward to.  You are practicing positive affirmations. You're removing resistance. You're doing it all!

As I repeat this exercise over and over again, I realize that some of my intentions happen without much effort.  Perhaps this is because I expected them to happen in the same effortless way as the other items on my list.

Give it a try.  It only takes a few minutes and can easily be added to a daily routine. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
