Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

    When I first started the challenge I was really intimidated by the prospect of needing to depend on my bike to get to work especially during rain, but having it set as a challenge really motivated me to outfit my bike for weather and start this lifestyle change earlier then I otherwise would have. I'm amazed by how simple it seems now compared to when I started and look forward to continuing.

    Anyone else have a similar experience and expect to continue a new habit post challenge?
