The “Bean by Bean” 7-Day Challenge
A Short, Powerful Path to Growt
The Power of Daily Rituals
Before we dive into our 7-Day Challenge, let’s talk about why even the smallest rituals hold so much potential for your life:
- They Keep You Focused: By carving out a few intentional minutes each day, you anchor your priorities and clear away mental clutter.
- They Build Incremental Momentum: Short, consistent actions—“beans” in your jar—create ripple effects that far surpass any one-time effort.
- They Enhance Self-Awareness: A quick morning intention-setting or evening reflection helps you better understand your patterns, strengths, and growth areas.
- They Foster Positivity: Starting and ending your day with calm and gratitude can shift your entire mindset, opening you up to opportunity rather than stress.
- They Encourage Intentional Living: A solid routine prevents you from drifting through life on autopilot. Instead, you act with clarity and purpose.
- They Form the Foundation for Continuous Growth: These small moments of self-care and reflection become building blocks for bigger, more lasting change.
Why a 7-Day Challenge?
- Easy to Begin: Seven days is short enough to feel doable but long enough to show you real, positive shifts.
- Perfect Foundation: By grounding your day in two simple rituals, you’ll gain the confidence and structure needed for deeper, long-term growth.
- Short Sessions, Big Impact: You’ll spend only about five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening—proof that minimal time can still lead to powerful change.
How the Challenge Works
When you sign up, you’ll receive:
- 7-Day Worksheet PDF
- Link to a Google Doc to track your daily progress
Each day is split into two quick entries:
- Morning Ritual (Approx. 5 Minutes)
- Center Yourself: Begin with a brief meditation or breathing practice.
- Set Intentions: Decide what truly matters today and affirm your belief in your capacity to grow.
- Evening Ritual (Approx. 5 Minutes)
- Unwind & Reflect: Calm the mind—try box breathing or a short pause.
- Wins & Lessons: Celebrate the day’s victories (big or small) and extract key insights for tomorrow.
What You’ll Find in the Daily Pages
- Morning Meditation (1–2 Minutes): You can do this right in bed—“beditate,” as Davidji says. Close your eyes, breathe, and observe your thoughts without judgment.
- Evening Box Breathing (1–2 Minutes): Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, and hold empty for 4. This simple pattern relaxes the mind and body.
- Wins & Lessons (1–2 Minutes): Note at least one positive from your day and one lesson to guide you forward.
Day-by-Day Outline
Each day, you’ll follow the same simple structure:
Morning
- Meditation Prompt: Sit or lie comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. When your mind wanders, gently bring it back.
- Time Logged: Record how long you practiced. Even a minute counts!
Evening
- Box Breathing Prompt: Practice the 4-4-4-4 cycle.
- Reflect on Wins & Lessons: What bright spots did you notice today? What area could you focus on improving tomorrow?
Getting the Most Out of Your 7 Days
- Stay Consistent: Aim for that quick morning and evening routine daily—no excuses!
- Stay Open: Some days may feel easier than others. Keep going, even on the tougher days.
- Celebrate “Beans”: At week’s end, reflect on all the “beans” of progress you’ve added. Notice how these small acts shift your outlook over time.
