YOU are the MEDICINE
Welcome to
JUICY
&
SUPER JUICY 2.0!
A 30 Day Self-Care Challenge
April 1 - 30, 2022
Back for its second year, this 30 Day Self-Care Challenge continues to evolve and will offer something fresh for returning friends and a
warm welcome to those of you arriving
here for the first time.
You have a choice between two levels of engagement:
JUICY 2.0! and SUPER JUICY 2.0!
SUPER JUICY 2.0! includes additional opportunities for live connection, learning and practice together.
This year you can either design your own self-care commitment(s) or
else join me (Christina) in doing a new one each day!
The idea behind a new commitment each day is to keep them fresh, fun, do-able and playful -
and also to have them as a source of support and encouragement.
If any of the daily commitments don't work for you, you could simply
do one from a previous day or choose your own.

WHAT IS SELF-CARE?
Self-Care encompasses attitudes, beliefs and actions that support your health and wellbeing. It includes all aspects of your life: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, sexual, relational and financial.
It is an act of personal power and supports you to be your fullest, most alive, most vital self. It is based on the premise that your health and wellbeing are foundational to creating the life you most desire, to accomplishing your goals and manifesting your dreams.
Self-care is about living a life that is JUICY!

3. It better enables you to better meet your needs: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, sexual, relational, financial.

HOW IT WILL WORK
(applies to both JUICY & SUPER JUICY)
1. Choose Your Commitment
Commit to your self-care with a minimum of one commitment every day for 30 days
If choosing your own, how complex or involved your commitment will be is up to you. And, it is a good idea to start with something small and build it over time. This can give you a better chance of success and feeling good about yourself and your level of participation. Maybe start with one minute of something and go from there.
2. Complete your Commitment Each Day!
and enjoy the benefits of prioritizing yourself
and your health & wellbeing
3. Chart your victories! (AKA Accountability)
See your progress as you create new habits and let go of old, unhealthy ones. Feel amazing as the fruits of your steady efforts and commitment grow!
Each day you will receive an accountability notification asking you to report your progress for the day.
4. Group Sharing:
Share with new friends about your experiences, inspirations, and self-care ideas. Build new connections, friendships and be part of this amazing community of heart-centred humans and beautiful souls.
