Rooting Into Routine and Real Change
Welcome to Week 3 of the April 30-Day Healthy Habits Challenge from Life on Pages.

At this point in the challenge, you're not just participating—you’re transforming. You've created momentum, taken care of both your body and mind, and developed a deeper awareness of what wellness really looks like in your daily life.
This week’s habits helped you reflect, reset, and reconnect with your goals in meaningful ways. If you're catching up or simply revisiting the highlights, here’s a full recap of Days 16–22.
Day 16: Reflect on a Recent Win
Challenge: Acknowledge something you've done recently that you're proud of.
Celebrating progress, no matter how small, builds confidence and motivation. This challenge was about recognizing that you're already on your way—whether it’s a new routine, a better mindset, or a small goal you accomplished.
Reflection prompt: What’s something you’ve done recently that your past self would be proud of?
Day 17: Write Down 3 Personal Strengths
Challenge: Own your unique talents and qualities.
This was a day to turn inward and appreciate the things that make you strong. When you write down your personal strengths, you create space for self-trust and resilience. It’s a reminder that you already have the tools you need within you.
Tip: Keep your list somewhere visible as a confidence booster.
Day 18: Tidy Up Your Digital Life
Challenge: Declutter your inbox, organize your apps, or clean out your files.
Digital clutter causes unnecessary stress and distraction. Taking time to simplify your online space can improve your focus and reduce overwhelm. This challenge was all about creating digital breathing room.
Suggestion: Unsubscribe from emails you no longer read or create folders for important documents.
Day 19: Listen to an Inspiring Podcast
Challenge: Fuel your mind with positivity and new ideas.
What we consume mentally shapes our mindset. By choosing content that uplifts and educates, you’re planting the seeds for a more empowered outlook. This habit supports curiosity, learning, and emotional health.
Looking for suggestions? Try podcasts on mindfulness, wellness, personal growth, or creativity.
Day 20: Give Yourself a Break
Challenge: Take intentional time to rest or reset.
Rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement. Whether you took a nap, stepped away from your to-do list, or simply slowed down, this challenge reminded us to pause without guilt. Wellness includes rest, recovery, and boundaries.
Reminder: Your productivity does not define your worth.
Day 21: Say Yes to Something Exciting
Challenge: Step out of your comfort zone and welcome a new opportunity.
Saying yes can open doors to growth and unexpected joy. This challenge was about allowing space for something new—whether that’s an experience, a person, or an idea you’ve been thinking about but haven’t acted on yet.
Question to ask yourself: What’s something I’ve wanted to try, but haven’t given myself permission to pursue?
Day 22: Plan a Fun Activity
Challenge: Do something simply because it brings you joy.
Joy is a vital part of wellness. This challenge encouraged you to set aside time for fun—not productivity, not progress, just play. Laughter, relaxation, and enjoyment are essential for a balanced and fulfilling life.
Examples: Try a hobby, go on a spontaneous outing, watch a favorite film, or do something creative.
