Sleep CHALLENGE

Eat
Sleep
CHALLENGE
4 weeks to Living Mindfully March 1 - 31
The Eat, Sleep and Move Challenge encourages you to practice mindfulness in a variety of ways over the four week period.
Studies show that people who regularly practice mindfulness are more creative, have a more positive outlook on life, are less
affected by stress, receive better quality sleep and have greater overall health than those who don’t participate in mindfulness.
How the Challenge Works
A new activity will be available each week to practice in a new, mindful way.
Week One: Eat mindfully.
Pick one meal or snack each day to practice eating mindfully. Observe
how you feel before eating — are you truly hungry or are you bored or
stressed? Turn off electronics and other distractions while you eat.
Think about the food itself — is it healthy? How does it make your body
feel? How does it taste? Stop eating when you start to feel full.
WEEK 1
You can also earn one point for being mindful of what you eat by
journaling or tracking what you eat each day this week.
WEEK 2
Week Two: Sleep thoughtfully.
Turn off all electronic devices including phones, TVs and computers at
least 30 minutes before bedtime. Use that time to calm your mind
through reading, deep breathing or other relaxing activities.
You can also earn one point each day you get at least seven hours of
sleep each day this week.
Week Three: Exercise attentively.
When you exercise, focus your attention on what you are doing rather
than going through the motions. Notice your breath, the movement of
your feet and the contraction and release of your muscles. Try to keep
your focus for at least 10 minutes.
You can also earn one point for being physically active for at least 10
minutes each day this week.
Week Four: Relax consciously.
Take time each day to reduce the damaging effects of stress by
activating the body’s natural relaxation response. Spend at least 10
minutes practicing techniques such as deep breathing, progressive
muscle relaxation, yoga or tai chi.
Take the last three days to practice a mindful activity of your choice.
