Who inspires you to be more of YOU? Take this moment today to tell them. Write a note of gratitude or call them to say thank you. If it’s fun for you, post a picture and let the world know how this person embodies “being you.” It could be a friend, a family member, or someone more ”famous”. If you like making videos, let us know what this person is creating in the world that spreads the joy of being you!

Have you ever heard that phrase, “dance like nobody's watching”? What’s a song that, when it comes on, you just can’t help but get up and dance? Put on that song, and dance or sing like no one is watching. Now here’s the challenge... let us watch! Take a video of you getting your groove on and share on social media.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

What’s something you have in your closet that, when you wear it, makes you feel like standing on a mountain top and yell, “Watch out world, here I come!”? Take a picture of it, or even better yet, share a photo of YOU wearing it.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Make a “Being You List.” Make a list of all the things that give you more of you: more smiles, more space, more joy! It may look something like, “When I listen to this, do this, eat this, watch this or play with this, I get happier and have more of a sense of me!” Watch this video for more inspiration!

Strike up a conversation today with someone you don’t know or usually speak with. Maybe thank a local shop owner for their business, tell a stranger that they’re beautiful, ask a waitress how their day is going. What joy can you add to the world today just by being you?

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Spend a moment with a tree or plant today (Ever notice nature doesn’t judge or expect you to be anything but YOU?). Take a photo or video of you with the tree and let us know what the experience was like for you.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

What is something you used to love to do, that you have stopped doing? Ice skating, reading a novel, playing the piano, getting dressed up? What if you added it back into your life today? For the fun of it? Let us know what you choose and show us?

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

As you go about your day, ask “If I were truly being me, what would I choose?” Notice if you make different choices than you normally would. Just for today, see what shows up when you create your day from this space. How much fun can you have?

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Whose day could you change with 5 dollars or less? Maybe you pay for the person’s food behind you in a drive-through line or coffee shop? Or, add an extra tip for your barista? What change could you create with 5 dollars? Get creative, and if your story desires to be shared, let us know!

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

What have you been bullied, judged or made wrong for? What if that “thing” is actually one of your greatest gifts and strengths? Write down: “What have I been made wrong for in my life?” Next to that write: “What strength is this?” and see what awareness comes up for you.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Is there someone you could hug today, or call, or talk to and change their world by expressing the kindness and caring that you would like to see in the world? What if you did exactly that?

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

For everything that occurs in the next hour or throughout the day, ask “How does it get any better than this?” Ask this when something good OR bad happens. Post what shows up for you!

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

What if all of those thoughts, feelings and emotions aren’t even yours? What if they belong to someone else and you are just aware? For 20 minutes, an hour, or an entire day, ask, “Who does this belong to?” for everything that comes up in your world. If your world lightens up at all when you ask that question, it’s not yours. If you like this tool, you can download a free app called “Who Does This Belong To?^®” and get more information, regular reminders and tips to be more of what’s truly you every day.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

What’s one thing about you that makes you different? What is one thing that sets you apart from the crowd? Time to celebrate the difference of YOU! Make a post celebrating your difference or a difference you admire in someone else.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Imagine a day without judgment. What would it be like to go throughout an entire day without any judgment of you or anyone else? That’s the challenge! Take at least one hour and notice anytime you judge something or someone (including you), and say, “Interesting point of view I have this point of view.” Say this until you start to feel more at peace. This is a key tool to have more allowance for you and everything going on in the world around you.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Ask for more ease and wonderfulness to show up in your life! Say, “All of life comes to me with ease, joy and glory” out loud or in your head 10 times or as many times as you can remember. Do you feel different afterwards? Do you have access to more of you? Let us know what changed by posting your story on social media!

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Do something that is enjoyable, pleasurable or fun for you whether anyone else gets it or not! It could be seen as silly, weird, not necessary, or a waste of time to other people, and that doesn’t matter at all! What would you like to choose just for you?

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

What’s something that relaxes you from your head to your toes? Is it taking a bath, holding an animal, reading a book? Start by prioritizing 15-30 minutes today to relax and receive whatever shows up. If you’re curious about our favorite relaxation technique, Access Bars^®, head to the Access Bars website.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

One of the laws of the Universe is “Ask and you shall receive.” Your job is to ask. Today, make a request of the Universe, God, Allah, or whatever name works for you to… “Show me something beautiful.” Maybe a bird flies up to your window, or you notice the bloom of a flower or a smile from a stranger. Then bask in the wonder of what will show up for you! Let us know what you find.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Write down three things, people, or places that you are grateful for. Add to this list each day! When you are cranky or in a funk, go to this list and see if your mood changes. Sometimes all it takes is a shift in your perspective. And, gratitude is the key. Let us know about the change or share your list!

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

If you could have anything as your future in five years, what would it be? Write a list of at least 10 things that if they showed up would be a major “WOW” for you. Go BIG! Ask from total curiosity. Try asking “I wonder what it would take for this to show up?” Then, set a reminder from one year from now, and pull out this list. Notice what’s changed. Share your “wow list” for the future.

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

Write down the top 5 things you are procrastinating doing. Choose one and get started. Maybe it’s calling the plumber to fix that leaky sink, or finally getting clear on your finances. How much fun and relief could you have by taking action on this thing that has been lingering and causing you stress?

#beingyouchallenge #beingyouday

It’s time to ACKNOWLEDGE YOU! What’s great about you? What are the things that are naturally easy for you? When you start to see the gift of you, just as you are, without a need to change anything, you can begin to acknowledge the gift you are in the world. Make a list. Be as specific as possible. What if there’s more right about you than you’ve ever acknowledged?
