Method Behind The Madness

These challenges gradually build on each other, and encourage users to focus on a specific idea without discarding the focus of the previous one. The journey’s start is a humble one, by simply asking the participant to genuinely listen and carefully measure out their own verbal contributions. Emphasizing sincere contemplation provides the foundation of the next challenge. The ‘Yes’ challenge asks the participant to maintain the same quiet awareness while adding in a specific active ingredient. Engaging positively, trying new things, and embracing opportunity is the next natural step towards shaping new, beneficial habits.

After quieting the impulse to continually provide ‘input’ without consideration, and then re-activating the participant’s contributions in a positive and adventurous way- the next logical step is to transform the mental awareness onto the physical plane. The participant is encouraged to not only listen and engage positively; but also to present themselves in a cohesive way that highlights their physical attributes. By pushing ourselves to be at our absolute best both mentally and physically, it’s reasonable to postulate that participants will feel a renewed sense of pride, satisfaction, energy, and overall happiness.

When we feel good about ourselves on the inside, engage with our surroundings in a positive way, and look our best physically - then it’s only natural that those aspects coalesce into a harmonious wave that replenishes our romantic relationships. Look forward to the ‘Sex’ challenge because it will directly benefit your relationship, and nurture intimacy.

Internal mindfulness engaged? Check. Positive interactions with our surroundings? Check. Physical appearance improved? Check. Relational intimacy renewed? Check. After carefully ordering ourselves internally, externally, and romantically - it’s time to transition our focus from our private lives and direct it out into the community. Giving back, looking out for others, and being generous.

This month is all about raising awareness, cultivating mindfulness, and continually moving forward.

We hope that you are all as excited as we are to begin this journey!
