Strong Challenge Week 3:  CONNECT

November 23rd - November 29th

Your STRONG Challenge continues with Connect! This week we will get STRONGER through CONNECTING with others.

Did you know that on average we receive over 6000 messages a day? Let that sink in...
These constant beeps, dings, buzzes and tweets are demanding our attention and severely hurting our health. And worse, they are pulling us away from the things that truly matter the most in our short lives. This week, you will be challenged go to deeper mentally and spiritually in the Challenge. You got this and we believe in YOU, because YOU are STRONG.

STRONG HOME

ACCOUNTABILITY

There has never been a better week in the challenge to connect with your accountabilibuddy!  Ask how they are doing and offer some encouragement and STRONG cheerleader spirit! AND, join the Facebook Community Group by sharing your moments of connection with your new friends! When we connect, we are STRONG.

Add goals to your tracking sheet and remember to post it in a prominent place to stay on track.  Connect with your accountability buddy to make sure they are doing the same!
