Be Intentional 30 Baby Steps for Whole Life Change

be-intentional-baby-steps-for-whole-life-change

It’s that time!

Time to make changes

Time to be challenged

Time to be encouraged

Time to better our lives through baby steps

It’s a wonderful time to make changes in your life! Positive changes that will help you become a more productive, efficient, consistent, healthier new you!

For a few years, we have personally taken baby steps that we have called “being intentional” in everyday life. Little things that add up to a big, bigger, biggest changes in our lives.

A few years ago, we introduced our “Be Intentional” baby steps and it was a HUGE success! We received so many emails about lives that were changed from these simple steps!

There was big positive financial changes for many of you…

Big weight-loss goals met…..

More family time and personal time discovered…….

And productivity through the roof…….

All things that we have experienced in our years of having a personal goal of doing these things ourselves!

It was so inspirational to see all of the testimonies and positive changes that happened in our readers over that 30-day challenge.

So…… we have had requests to  provide this challenge again and in a format that is easy for everyone so that no matter when you join, your day #1 starts on your day and not when we are already going. And that is what we have done!

We are excited to have turned this challenge into a 30-day challenge that you can join at any time and start at any time. 

To do this , we will be sharing a step a day for 30 days via email to you personally so that you can follow each baby step and make those life changes and turn those into a habit.

So just what is a 30-Baby Steps to Be Intentional Challenges all about??

Well, we aren’t really a resolution-type of couple as we seem to make resolutions and then dive in both feet first and then seem to set ourselves up for failure and break our resolutions just a few weeks later. We tried the “jump all in feet first” approach with our debt and we kept crashing and failing.  It wasn’t until we finally planned to take baby steps that BIG changes happened!

So we have adopted that same idea in all areas of life: finances, routines, organization, healthy life living, etc.

Over the years, we noted that there are many things we do each week, month and year to help us stay on track in all of those areas and in total it was Be Intentional  – Taking Baby Steps for Whole Life Change. 

Here’s how we break it down:

We are going to start with those baby steps to increase your energy, efficiency and organization which will propel you into a life that is able to develop an overall financially smart, happy and frugal home.  And by frugal, we’re not meaning cheap! You can be frugal with no matter how little or how much money you have. It is just being good with the money you have.

In our many years of attempted thriftiness, one thing that we have determined is that you can save a buck here and there and grab deals left and right, but for a truly frugal lifestyle, it requires time and organization.  If you do not have those things, then frugality is very frustrating.

So this year’s 30 Baby Steps are very simple and very easy to implement so that you can implement one each day for 30 days. 

Most of the challenges build on themselves, which means it is best to start at the beginning for the results to take full effect.

Some of the challenges you may already be doing – that’s great, keep doing it and watch for the next days’ challenges to add to it.

We encourage couples and families to do these challenges together so the whole house can function well!

As the 30 baby steps go along, we will be focusing on 5 areas for the Be Intentional Month:

  • Self
  • Home
  • Budget
  • Schedule
  • Frugality

And, if you get off track, don’t worry…. pick yourself up where you left off, or start all over.  It doesn’t matter, just do it. 🙂

So sign up for the 30-day challenge!  You’ll receive an email each day with that day’s tip.  And then each subsequent day get another.  Each one being another baby step to get your closer to your goals.  Are you ready?  Let’s do it!

Join us at our small Facebook Be Intentional group HERE for encouragement, discussions and more as you are journeying through the challenge.  Just send a request to join and we will add you to the group.

      HI Helen,

      Some of the below links have a download where applicable. So if you click on one of the articles under the 5 categories, if there is a download for that, you will find it there. Not everyone of these steps has a download, but some do 🙂
