Are you excited yet??? Welcome to Day 1 of the Wifey Challenge!
Here’s the General Plan:
- For 5 days, you’ll receive a daily e-mail from me with a challenge.
- Set aside 30 minutes to an hour everyday to complete your challenge.
- Feel free to take pictures and share them on your social media platforms with the hashtag #wmdwifeychallenge, as you go through everyday! I’d love to see the awesome things you’re doing. Hopefully, we can motivate other women to take the time out to nurture their relationships! (You can also e-mail me personally if you don’t want to post on social media)
- Grab the Wifey Diary, if you haven’t already. It has questions and journal prompts to enhance each daily challenge. As well as space to write down your thoughts and feelings during the challenge. What’s going well? What’s not going well? What do you want to keep doing after the challenge is over? How do you feel about it all?
And, in order to stay in the right mindset, I want you to make a couple promises for the 5 days of the challenge:
- No correction/belittling of your spouse
- No sarcasm directed his way
- Smile when you’re with him
- Give him at least one hug and kiss per day
- Be kind
- Be positive
- Pray for him/meditate daily
- Treat him with respect
- Connect at least once a day while you’re apart (text, call, etc)
- Limit electronics/distractions when you’re with him
- Keep your stresses, worries, frustrations, and complaints to yourself
- Genuinely listen to him; let him talk
- Watch your body language towards him
- Practice patience
Are You Ready???
Today’s Challenge:
Today I want you to think about your spouse’s favorite things. His favorite foods, snacks, movies, TV shows or activities. Think about what he used to love doing before the two of you got together, or before you had kids. Think about his passions. Your task today is to shower him with a few of his favorite things. Be creative! After all, it’s Valentine’s Day!
Purpose of this challenge:
I know how easy it is as moms to go through our day-to-day focusing on the needs of our children, and forgetting to focus on our spouse. So, the purpose of today’s challenge is to refocus and let him know that you’re paying attention to HIM. His desires and interests are still just as important to you now as they were when you first met. And just as important as the kids’. Let him feel special today!
So, get started on your challenge, and remember to tag your posts on social media with #wmdwifeychallenge. I can’t wait to follow along!
If you have any questions or feedback as the challenge moves along, please feel free to e-mail me at petra@wifeymommydoc.com or visit me on facebook. I’ll talk to you again tomorrow!
