This Week’s Challenge: 100 Push-ups (in one sitting)

MBS: Mind | Body | Soul
Difficulty: 3
Duration: 1 Day (100 Push-Ups)

Why It Matters:
This week, our challenge is 100 push-ups in one sitting. It’s not just about building physical strength—this challenge is a test of your endurance, willpower, and mental grit. Whether you’re breaking it down into sets or powering through in one go, the goal is to push past your limits. Remember, it’s not about perfection; it’s about progress. Can you do it? Let’s find out! #45MBSChallenge

Learning from the Challenge: Grit

What You’ll Gain:
As you take on this challenge, remember: It’s as much a mental exercise as it is physical. Your body will want to give up, but your mind is what will carry you through. So for me, it's about learning where my limits are and then pushing myself a little bit past that limit every time. By the end of it, you’ll have a stronger body, but more importantly, a stronger mindset. Let’s continue to grow, one challenge at a time.

Reflections on Last Week:  3 Hours of Silence

My Experience:
Last week’s challenge was all about embracing silence, and it turned out to be quite an experience. At first, it was difficult to calm my mind and focus. I thought I could just sit and meditate or visualise a few things I had planned, but for some reason, I couldn’t. Instead, I let my thoughts flow naturally, labelling whatever came to mind. There was a moment when I lost track of time, and it felt like I was in a time freeze—a strange but liberating sensation. About 75% into the challenge, my mind finally started to settle, and I could focus on the issues I wanted to address. This brought me a lot of clarity and resolve. And on a lighter note, my feet were sore for some reason, so a 3-hour foot rub turned out to be a nice bonus, haha!

It’s incredible what a little silence can do for the soul.

Sometimes, the answers we’re looking for are already within us; we just need to quiet the noise to hear them.

Member Highlights

Here is this week’s key insight from one of our members:

"Taking a few hours to sit in silence was tough, especially without my cell phone. It made me realise how much I rely on it to fill the quiet moments.

At first, it was really difficult to just be still, but after a while, I found that the absence of distractions helped me focus on my thoughts in a way I hadn’t experienced before.

It was a great way to reset my mind."
