Remember when you were a kid and somewhere along the line you played a version of the game Dare?  
In some format you would be dared to do something by one of your friends, and usually as a kid it didn’t
always involve the best of judgment.  

Well this game of dare is a lot  more productive and wholesome for you…and it’s called Dare to Be
Healthy.

So are you up to the challenge? Can I Dare You to Be Healthy ? Take it one step at a time
and see how far you go.









STEP 1
Create Your Healthy Image
So take that first step….I dare you to figure out what a good healthy life looks like to you? What do you
look like? What do you see yourself doing?  How are YOU feeling-
not only physically but emotionally, mentally and spiritually level? What are you eating?
What kinds of thoughts run through your mind? What is your daily mood like?  How about your
relationships with others, what are they like?

Create the mind pictures of this space.  Then record it somewhere and somehow.  If you like to write, put
it down on paper, if you like Vision Boards, cut out pictures, if you like to daydream, create the mental
movie to keep on file that can be replayed over and over again. Don’t leave out any details.  

Tips:
Leave out comparisons to others.
This is all about you, so create this any way you want to
You are the star of this new reality.
I DARE you to do this and not come back for Step 2 until this is done!    








STEP 2
Moving Forward, One Day at a Time
Ok so by now you have finished the first step of creating your healthy image in your mind. We will begin
to Dare to Do Something Healthy each day as we move forward in our personal challenge make
changes. Remember this: we are looking to make life long changes that stay with us rather than jumping
in with a big splash that produces no noticeable long term results.

Commit to the Journey
Today is about writing a contract to yourself to commit to this challenge, to agree to work every day
toward self improvement. So here is today’s  task- write a one paragraph only contract, that is both
inspirational and binding,  stating your intention to accomplish to this goal. Include your own personal
philosophy that will help you in the days to come. Sign and date it. Make copies and post them
everywhere. Put one on the bathroom mirror so it is the first thing you see in the morning, Put a copy on
the refrigerator, to help you remember your plan.  Put another copy in your purse or wallet so it is there
when you are tempted to make a questionable purchase.  Think of the strategic places a copy should be
within eyeballs view: at work, near the computer, in the car, wherever temptation lurks to pull  you off
your course.   

Why All This Crazy Posting?
Well, we want to be able to keep our plan first and foremost in our mind. We want a positive set of
thoughts to replace any self recriminating thinking that may have been occurring previously.  The first
part of manifesting our new reality is achieved by energizing our thoughts in the format we want to create.

Here is My Personal Contract
I, Susan Anderson, believe my life is an endless stream of opportunities and possibilities for good health,
personal happiness and spiritual growth.   I today choose to live my life fully from this perspective.  I
commit to make healthy choices today that empower me to be the person I am meant to be, so my life
brings out the best in me and all those whose lives I touch through my actions.

So Off You GO Now...
Do your contact, and come back later to find out the next step.  And as always, if you wish to share your
personal contract with us, please post a comment.  I would love to hear from you.
