4 Lessons Learned After Being 30 Days into the 75 HARD

✨✨ 75 HARD, Medium, or Soft—it’s the best thing you can do! Here are four reasons I came up with after completing 30 days:

1. 1️⃣ Habit at a Time: You’re more likely to stick with it when you improve your actions one habit at a time, rather than making drastic changes that lead to eventual burnout. Since the challenge is intense, I took a progressive approach to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Instead of striving for perfection right away, I built my momentum with each activity—and I’m still actively improving as we speak!

2. 💪🏾 Discipline becomes ✨easier✨ when you think less. Let me explain: when I limit the time I spend talking myself out of tasks, I just get up as soon as I feel the urge to overthink. I recently realized that this simple switch is boosting my discipline too! That’s all discipline is really: doing things you don’t want to do (so the less you think about it, the higher chance you’ll actually get it done). For instance, if I spent too much time contemplating going for a run each morning, I’d still be stuck in bed 😭. I just have to get up and do it.

3. Moving every day significantly reduces the risk of falling into a depressive state. Doing one outdoor exercise daily has become a source of satisfaction for me; it forces me to step outside and embrace life while improving my mobility and endurance.

4. It’s likely you’ll face this challenge alone, as many people might give up or not even try. But here’s the beauty: you learn to show up for yourself 100% the way you want to. I started to appreciate my small wins and granted myself grace on days when I could only give 40-50% because I showed up regardless. Those days when you can give 110% feel even more rewarding too!

ALL IN ALL, it’s a beautiful journey of mental toughness. Try it out but even if you don’t, find a way to improve yourself!! It’s so worth it.
