June 4 – July 31, 2026
Why are we doing this?
Our 2026 Theme is Mental Mastery – and how that leads to Inner Peace. We will be exploring concepts and conversations together – but true change comes from consistent, mindful action. So the 60-day Challenge was born to bring intentional practices that enliven body, mind and Spirit to your every day life.
What is it?
This 60-Day Challenge weaves 8 simple daily practices into our lives—but it is about far more than habit-building.
It is a practice of transformation through consistency: strengthening the body, sharpening the mind, and nourishing the spirit while cultivating Mental Mastery & Inner Peace.
Each day we learn to move through resistance, align action with intention, and elevate the energy we bring into our lives.
The goal is not perfection. It is transformation.
What does it include?
Each week’s challenge is designed to elevate us in some way.
Some practices strengthen the body.
Some sharpen the mind.
Some nourish the spirit.
Each week we will introduce one practice that elevates your body, mind or Spirit. They will all be simple and easy to incorporate into your daily routine no matter where you are or what you are doing that day. They are designed to weave into your day and support you in every way. You will continue each practice for the rest of the challenge so at the end you will be playing with all 8 practices each day.
Over 60 days, these small daily actions can lead to greater health, vitality, focus, resilience, gratitude, peace, and overall well-being. Those benefits alone are valuable. But they are not the real purpose of this journey.
What is the deeper Purpose?
Life is constantly inviting us to become more than we were yesterday. Not by becoming someone else. But by uncovering more of who we truly are.
Each of us carries untapped potential, dormant gifts, greater wisdom, deeper compassion, and a more powerful expression of ourselves waiting to emerge.
The challenge is a vehicle for that emergence. Every practice becomes an opportunity to move beyond old limitations and into a higher expression of our own nature.
How much time will it take?
Not much! None of the challenges are more then 5 minutes, some just layer over what you are already doing – and all 8 practices together wont add more then 15 minutes to your day. A very tiny block of time for profound shifts in your frequency. And they all feel really, really good!
What are the real benefits?
*Raising Our Frequency – Whether we realize it or not, every thought, action, habit, and choice contributes to the energetic signature we bring into the world.
When we live unconsciously, our energy is often scattered by distraction, doubt, fear, reaction, and old conditioning. When we live intentionally, our energy becomes more coherent.
More focused.
More aligned.
More powerful.
The purpose of these daily practices is not simply to complete a task. It is to cultivate a state of greater alignment between what we know, what we value, and how we live. As alignment increases, so does the quality of our experience
* The Power of Keeping Our Word – Every time we honor a commitment, something subtle happens. We strengthen the connection between intention and action. Between who we aspire to be and who we are being.
Over time, this creates a sense of inner coherence.
Our thoughts, words, and actions begin moving in the same direction. And when that happens, energy that was once lost to inner conflict becomes available for growth, creativity, service, healing, and purpose
Many spiritual traditions teach that life moves through us most powerfully when we are clear, present, and aligned.
The body becomes stronger.
The mind becomes quieter.
The spirit becomes more awake.
We become better instruments for inspiration, intuition, love, creativity, and meaningful contribution. Not because we have added something new to ourselves. But because we have removed some of what was standing in the way.
What is the Ultimate GOAL of the challenge?
This challenge is not about checking boxes. It is not about perfection. It is not even about discipline for its own sake. It is about consciously participating in our own evolution.
It is about becoming more aligned with our highest potential.
More connected to ourselves.
More connected to others.
More connected to life itself.
Because ultimately, the goal is not simply to improve our lives. The goal is to become the fullest expression of who we came here to be.
June 4 Session – Kick Off and introducing the first practice
Zen Teaching – As you listen to the story, take a moment to reflect on its deeper message: awareness is the beginning, but true transformation is created through consistent, mindful steps taken over time.
#1 First Practice: Morning Water
As soon as possible upon arising – drink 8 – 16 oz of room temperature water. 16 is ideal but work up to it if that is difficult.
Why?
When you wake up, your body is in a mild state of dehydration – after several hours without fluid intake during sleep, while still losing water through breathing, skin, and metabolism.
A simple glass of water first thing helps restore that balance and brings the system back toward baseline. It supports a smoother transition from rest into an active state and is often felt immediately.
Benefits:
Brain function improves: even small fluid deficits can make you feel foggy, slower, or less sharp—hydration helps restore mental clarity
Energy stabilizes: replenishing fluids reduces the fatigue and heaviness associated with overnight dehydration
Alertness increases: it supports circulation and helps the nervous system shift out of sleep mode
Dryness is relieved: it directly reduces physical sensations like dry mouth or throat, improving comfort and clarity
Digestion is activated: water can stimulate the gastrocolic reflex, helping initiate natural morning bowel movement activity
The result is a clear shift in state—from low fluid, low alertness, and sleep inertia to greater clarity, steadiness, and readiness for the day.
Specifics: 8 – 16 oz of room temperature water
- (8 oz): enough to gently rehydrate and “wake up” the system
- (16 oz): more noticeable effect for hydration, alertness, and digestion
Recommend 16oz – but start with 8 if easier. You can drink quickly or sip.
