Announcing Our New Daily Challenges!

If you've been following the Whole Life Action Plan for a while, you know it's all about making small steps toward a healthier, sustainable, more balanced life. And now you can make one small step each day, along with others in our community, with daily Action Plan challenges.

How does it work?
Every day, we'll post a new challenge here in the Whole Living community. These "assignments" aren't anything super complicated -- and in fact, you might be doing them already in your everyday life.

For example, how many of you are going for a walk outside today or are planning to grill some veggies tomorrow, Memorial Day? See -- that's not so hard, is it?

Track Your Progress
The best part of our new daily challenge assignments is that you can help us keep track of how well you're doing as a community. Each day we'll poll you and ask whether you accept the day's challenge. If it's something you plan to do that day or in the near future, accept the challenge and add your pledge to the group. If it's something you'd rather pass on, say no and wait for the next one.

Challenges will stay open for the full calendar month, so even if you miss a day you can always go back and pledge later, as well. You can also spread the word -- and let your friends know about all of the positive changes you're making -- by sharing your pledges on Facebook and Twitter.

Even though we're now posting daily challenges, the Whole Life Action Plan newsletter is still a weekly email, sent to you every Sunday. This email will become kind of a weekly round-up of what's ahead -- but in order to get every day's challenge, you have to check back with us in the community throughout the week.

So if you tried following us and weren't receiving daily emails, try again now!

Regardless, you'll continue receiving your weekly Sunday email roundup, and we hope you'll check back often to accept and give us feedback on the challenges we're putting forth every day this month -- and every month moving forward! You can also get the daily challenges on our homepage at WholeLiving.com.
