I think my biggest takeaway was a reflection on where I am placing my quiet time and how I can do better with it. I let my work schedule, other obligations, and people get in the way of it and that is not okay. I am giving myself grace and learning how to do better each day. I think the second biggest thing is continuing to see how my relationship with food is not the best and finding ways to change it.

I am finished !

Love it

Go Tiffany!!!

Good Morning. I have made a vow to myself that I will finish this challenge out no matter how long it takes me. So here is to finally completing day 4. I’m finishing strong because I need this and God needs me to do this so I can walk in my rightful purpose of proclaiming His excellencies to the nations.

Limiting dairy and sweets to 1-2 times a day was challenging yet sustainable. I believe I can make this a lifestyle change.

Day 7... I’m still up because I got this download and I’m processing it and writing what I’m hearing. As thoughts come up to discourage me from moving forward, I’m strengthened by all we discussed and learned this week during this challenge. I’m super grateful for this challenge and you all! I’m back in my size 12-14 leggings comfortably that I couldn’t fit after having my son. I’m so excited to see what God shows me next. How my day went: -Go to bed at the same time EVERYDAY❌ (still up currently) -Complete the correlating day of this challenge workbook✅ -Complete 30min of movement✅ -Drink 64oz of water✅ -Stick to a diet of your choice✅ -Take pictures of you completing at least one task post it to our group forum ✅ (I took my daughter with me today and had to do a lot of extra moving and shaking)

It is Day 7

You made it through spirit deep self-care.

I pray that you feel spiritually empowered to see yourself as God sees you.

I pray that you continue to identify the deception, fear, bondage, and pain that has been keeping you from fulfilling your destiny and walk in the promises of God over your life.

I would love for you to leave me a review on my website under my picturewww.purposefullytasha.com

It doesn't have to stop here. I am crafting a 30-day challenge.

I have been doing much work with this challenge, and each of you has been encouraging me, especially with healthy eating. Here's my check-in:

1) Still reflecting and revisiting Day 5--Faith as it relates to fear. Noting where in my life, I have allowed fear to cripple my faith and why.

2) Day 6--Community. I have reflected on how this pandemic has shown me the true community (surprisingly since "outside is closed" lol). However, community and relationship building, especially with bio mother, has been a recent connection. I wrote a forgiveness letter on dissolvable paper to get out all of my thoughts and feelings that I was harboring towards her and the unforgiveness I was harboring towards myself. I released it, and this was so cleansing.

My circle decided to hold me accountable...I kept saying I wanted to decorate and put up a Christmas tree because I have not celebrated the holidays since my grandmother's passing (2011) and brother's passing (2013). They reminded me of my promise to myself. Last night, I put up the tree and baked sugar cookies to honor the promise and their memory.

Lastly, I'm doing great on this water intake. However, this diet and exercise are kicking my butt...lol, but I'm doing at least 10 minutes in the morning and 5-7 before bed.

I'm still working, though. I refuse to give up on me.

Day 6 -Go to bed at the same time EVERYDAY.✅ -Complete the correlating day of this challenge workbook ✅ -Complete 30min of movement✅ (My son kept me busy today. I did squats while holding him. He weighs 26+lbs.) -Drink 64oz of water✅ -Stick to a diet of your choice✅ -Take pictures of you completing at least one task post it to our group forum ✅ Today I planned to not stick to the diet but when the time came, I didn’t miss/want the extra sweets or dairy. I even ate a burger without cheese for the first time since I can remember. God has allowed me to become more free from the bondage I was in with food! I’m grateful!

Day 6! I can’t believe it’s almost over! This challenge has been AMAZING! I’m so glad I checked my fear and doubt at the door and joined. You ladies are phenomenal!

Hey Sis!

It's Day 6 and we are talking community.

The community you keep will preserve you in purpose or deplete you in deceit. 

Now, before you go cutting people off.

No one community is perfect BUT the one that is grounded in purpose.

Disagreements may arise, conflicts may occur, but through it all abiding in purpose reigns.

Get it

Good Morning. Day 4&5 have not gone as well as I hoped. I was able to everything but the workbook and 64oz of water. I hope to still finish out strong today and catch up with my workbook because days without my quiet time have been nonstop busy.

Boom It Is Day 5! We have talked and worked through a lot of heavy things. Overwhelming thoughts may be setting in. Your mental to-do list may be growing. I want to narrow down your list to one thing FAITH. Today I want to remind and comfort you with the miracle, the gift, the responsibility of faith.

I got everything done today! I’m so excited! I’m very tired and almost quick on the workbook section and video for today but I sat up, got myself together, and finished them. -Go to bed at the same time EVERYDAY. ✅ -Complete the correlating day of this challenge workbook.✅ -Complete 30min of movement.✅ I followed Tasha’s advice and danced with the kids. We had so much fun! -Drink 64oz of water.✅ -Stick to a diet of your choice✅ -Take pictures of you completing at least one task post it to our group forum✅

It is day 4!

The rebuilding process is really REST.

Reverence

Endurance

Surrender

Test

If you would have been the one in charge of rebuilding you wouldn't need to endure the rebuilding process.

So sis, REST in the assurance that he will FINISH the GOOD work that he started in you.

Holla back 

Y’all today ... grace. Second day of my cycle. Back is aching . 3 toddlers. Workout complete Only 20oz of water One too many tootsie rolls A bad habit of mine is when I mess up I’m like o well and just keep going with the “mess up” flow until a “good” time to start over. But I’m a cycle breaker so I don’t have no time fah day. I can start over at any second and at the same time exercise the grace that was given to me.

Good Afternoon,

Late start to my challenge today, I went shopping at Bath and Body for their candle sell (candles are self care for me). Yesterday was great. Seeing the possibility to make healthy choices and be okay was a little remarkable. I am always like I have to give into my food cravings or I wont be satisfied however that is a LIE ! So I am shifting my brain on that thought to help me for the long run.

-Wake up at the same time: Completed

-Complete challenge workbook: Have to finish the statement of faith (got busy with work assignments)

-30 minutes of movement: Completed

-Drink 64oz: Completed and surpassed

-Stick to diet: Completed and did not spend money on unnecessary food

-Take pictures: Completed (food and workout)

Today is a bit of a struggle but I am getting to it now !

I do my workbook at night too. Congratulations on all of your progress thus far! You are killing it!!! Praying and agreeing with you for the grace you need for today! Also, peace that surpasses all understanding and the feeling of His loving arms wrapped around you!

Megan post partum is a real thing I KNOW from experience. Take it moment by moment and drown yourself with grace. We are in a peculiar time right now and this season is not normal. Celebrate your wins no matter how small and drown your misses in grace. Being a mom in a pandemic is no easy fete ! Love you girl! If this is your season to ask for help, and you have help available, done hesitate to ask. ❤️

How is it going? I’m managing trying to find a good schedule and stick to it Let's reflect: How is your body feeling? I feel tired , battling post partum depression . What about your spirit? My spirit has been down but I’m working to be better What are you thinking? I’m a bit hard on myself but just pushing to remind myself I have three kids work and virtual school How do you visualize your whole person ( spirit,soul,and body)

-Go to bed at the same time EVERYDAY. ❌ Still up currently. I wanted to get my workbook done for today but I’m going to bed now... -Complete the correlating day of this challenge workbook.✅ -Complete 30min of movement.❌ I’ve had a headache all day so I didn’t even attempt to workout but I moved a little with my 1 year old. -Drink 64oz of water.✅ -Stick to a diet of your choice✅ -Take pictures of you completing at least one task post it to our group forum✅ Picture of my workbook for day 3

It is day 3 you are almost done!

Are you thinking about giving up?

AHT AHT. you are almost there. 

DO NOT GIVE UP NOW.

Remember that vision of yourself finished? LEAN ON THAT.

Look how far you have come in three days.

I want to ask you a favor. 

Can you reach out to someone on the thread and encourage them.

I know you don't know them. I know that it is awkward. But we all need encouragement.

Here is the thread:

https://bit.ly/Purposediscussion

Let me tell you why.

We are dropping the WAIT.

WAITING until it feels right.

WAITING until we have time.

WAITING until our emotions align with our purpose.

Obedience is on a timeline it starts right now.

Late obedience is no obedience.

The only thing we wait for is GOD and we wait on him by serving him in obedience.

Gone ahead and get uncomfortable and reach out to someone on our thread, that you DO NOT KNOW.

Also, invite someone to the challenge that you think would benefit from it.

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 No means yes to your sanity Yes to your peace Yes to your Purpose Yes to you joy Yes to your space Yes to your consistency Yes to your diligence That is awesome

I haven't checked in...yesterday and today were SUPER busy between work and classes. However, I got it all done.

Guess what....I refused to take on more than I was able to and said NO without explanation. Yesterday and today were remainders for me that my NO is for my sanity and well-being.

Water intake has increased, yesterday, I drank about 64 oz and today about 70oz.

I did a little cardio this morning for about 10 minutes.

I was sooo close to going on Grubhub to order food because I didn’t feel like cooking 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ However I made an omelette (vegan cheeze) and kale instead .. 💪🏾💪🏾

Today was a busy day and I’m super tired right now BUT I got everything done today! -Go to bed at the same time EVERYDAY. ✅ -Complete the correlating day of this challenge workbook.✅ -Complete 30min of movement.✅ (15 minutes) -Drink 64oz of water. ✅ -Stick to a diet of your choice. ✅ I was very busy today but more mindful about what I ate instead of just eating whatever I can get my hands on first. I probably didn’t eat enough which is why I have a headache. I was supposed to meal prep but that didn’t happen 😩😩😩 I did tell my mom and husband about the challenge so they can hold me accountable. -Take pictures of you completing at least one task post it to our group forum✅ GN ladies! I hope you all had a great day as well! 🥰🥰🥰

My body is feeling good besides this headache. I had enough energy to do a slight workout though. Spiritually I feel refreshed. I’ve had clearer thoughts and ability to articulate my boundaries clearly. I was much more mindful about what I ate. I visualize my whole person as free from all bondage, healthy, whole, walking out my purpose, a great wife and mom, growing constantly, and better every day.

Lol yes day 2 my bad

Hey Sis!

So it is the end of day threeeeeeee! How is it going?

Let's reflect:

• How is your body feeling?

• What about your spirit?

• What are you thinking?

• How do you visualize your whole person ( spirit,soul,and body) 

One of my favorite things about this challenge is it takes you out of autopilot. Makes me more intention with God, with myself, with everyone attached to me. It causes my spirit to be sensitive and quiets me enough so I can hear Him.

Workout completed tonight. Water intake is getting there. Have to drink 2 more bottles before 9..

Workout done with my new belly band. Not 30 minutes because I started to get a headache but more than any other day.

Questions from the email: What did you do great today? With my water, the workbook, more mindful of what I was eating, focusing on tasks, and nourishing my spirit. What were some limitations? My limitations were with my diet and not yelling at my son out of frustration. What can you do tomorrow to limit your limitations? Tell my husband and mom what I’m doing as far as my diet changes, take time for myself to start my day, and planning my meals. Did you notice any habits? I have the habit of just grabbing things to eat without paying attention, dairy for just about everything I eat, and thinking negatively about my ability to do things like making dietary changes.

Here’s how I did today: -Wake up at the same time EVERYDAY. (I have a 3 month old so I decided to go to bed at the same time everyday) ✅ - Complete the correlating day of this challenge workbook ✅ This was so good and such a great reminder of who I am and who’s I am! Thank you Tasha for creating this challenge and the workbook! -Complete 30min of movement ❌ This was a serious struggle because I have not set aside time to intentionally exercise. I run around with my toddler all day but I haven’t been setting aside time to exercise. -Drink 64oz of water ✅ -Stick to a diet of your choice ❌ This was a struggle because I don’t cook my husband does and I didn’t tell him what I was doing so he just cooked the way he normally does with cheese. My go to foods when I can grab something is something sweet or something that includes dairy specifically cheese. -Take pictures of you completing at least one task post it to our group forum ✅
