Last night at Encore we started the 21 Day Challenge. Let me first say that it is never too late to start. If you started today, you would end on Thanksgiving. What a great day to celebrate the success of your challenge. If you did not make it to Encore last night (not sure why that would happen) let me take a moment to catch you up to speed and help you start your 21 Day Challenge.
People smarter than me in "Google-land" say that on average it takes 21 Days for a repetitive action to become a habit. 21 days...that's not that long. We normally think of habits as being something negative; yet habits can be positive as well.What things in your life do you need to become habitual? Reading scripture, praying, tithing, spending time with God. We want to challenge you to take 21 minutes for 21 days to reconnect with God and continue to renew your mind.
Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
Along with that we all know there are other things that need to become habits. Maybe you need to spend the next 21 days working on being a better steward of your finances. Maybe you need to become a better parent, spouse, or co-worker. Maybe you need to learn to simply be happier and re-affirming of people. Decide what it is that you need to become a habit and spend the next 21 days remapping your mind in that area.
So lets recap. Part 1 is to spend 21 minutes a day with God, and part 2 is to pick something in your life that needs to become a habit or a habit that needs to be changed. If you are up to the challenge we would love to send you a daily reminder for the next 21 days via text or email. You can text "21 Day Challenge" to 941.677.DAYS(3297) or you can email us at scc21days@gmail.com. Just think, 21 days from now, something very positive could be happening in your life!
