“Every day the clock resets. Your wins don't matter. Your failures don't matter. Don't stress on what was, fight for what could be.“
– Sean Higgins

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.”
– Johnny Cash
Week 1 (11. January 2021): “Eyes on the Prize”
Your task: Write a top 5 list of what you want to accomplish this year.
If you have more than 5 goals, you can make the list longer. The list will help you to keep on track, even when times get tough. Keep it visible in the house so you can look at it, e.g. on the fridge, your nightstand or the bathroom mirror. Tip: Your goals should be measurable (see examples below).
Example list of 5 goals:
- Say something nice to myself in the mirror every morning
- Be able to run a 5k
- Set a new personal record doing [insert exercise]
- Go to bed at 22:30 pm every day
- Being able to do 10 army push ups
"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts."
– Winston S. Churchill
When you’re done with your list, share your goals in social media using the #barahabit21 hashtag and #eyesontheprize. Maybe you’ll inspire your followers to do the same?
Week 2 (18. January 2021): “5k a Day”
Your task: Walk, run or jog 5k a day (or 5000 steps) for a week.
Walking is a fantastic way to ease into training for a 5k. If you have a smart watch (fitness tracker) or a smartphone, it’s easy to keep track of your daily activity. Most fitness trackers advise walking 10,000 steps a day, but even starting out at around 5,000 steps will be great progress towards your goal – whether it’s better health, weight loss, or to run a 5k.
"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts."
– Winston S. Churchill
Upload a picture of yourself in social media while being on one of your daily walks/runs using the #barahabit21 hashtag and #5kaday. Maybe you’ll inspire your followers to move too?
Week 3 (25. January 2021): “Local Hero”
Your task: Shop locally/show support to the small businesses in your local community or help someone.
2020 started out bad for many small business owners. 2021 will be as hard for many of them – if they’re still there. This week we challenge you to support your local community.
If you don’t have any local shops around you, are in lockdown or don’t want to use money, find another way to help out in your local community.
This can e.g. be:
- Shop locally (physical store or maybe they’re online?)
- Give one of your favorite local shops a shoutout on social media (e.g. your favorite coffee shop)
- Donate to someone that does something for others in your local community (e.g. animal shelters, local Red Cross, church etc.)
- Ask on Facebook or in groups if there is anyone in your local community that you can help. This can e.g. be grocery shopping (as many are elderly or in lockdown).
“No one has ever become poor by giving.”
― Anne Frank
Upload a picture of yourself in social media and tell us what you did for your local community this week and use the #barahabit21 hashtag and #localhero. Maybe you’ll inspire your followers to be a local hero too?
Week 4 (1. February 2021): “Active You”
Your task: Be active everyday for at least 20 min. The activity is up to you!
To kickstart your active goals of 2021, we want to challenge you to be active everyday for a week! Go for a run, for a walk, do yoga, strength training, vacuum, dance, horseback riding, weightlifting, crossfit, kickboxing … the choice is yours! Being active can be so much, and you don’t have to push yourself to the limit every time to benefit from an active lifestyle.
“If it doesn’t challenge you, it won't change you.”
– Fred DeVito
Upload a picture of yourself in social media and tell us what you did for staying active this week and use the #barahabit21 hashtag and #activeyou. Maybe you’ll inspire your followers to be active as well?
