Need A Little Help For Sunday Shift v 2.0

Hello all 🤍I just wanted to do a little check-in.

I had some time cocooning with my family, and I’m getting back into the swing of things this week—which honestly feels amazing.

I’ve been giving some thought to The Sunday Shift, and I’d really love your feedback.

What do you like? What don’t you like? What feels confusing or unclear? Please comment or DM me :)

Do you enjoy the mini-challenges and group mini-challenges? Or do you prefer doubling down on self-led goals?

My original intention was actually for this to be self-led because that’s the skill I want this community to be a catalyst for: practicing self-led actions.

We all have different constraints. For one person, it might be sleep quality. For someone else, fueling themselves. For someone else, movement. Or stress.

Obviously, most of us have a list of things we could work on but the biggest shifts tend to happen when we get really, really focused on one thing.

I think sometimes we over-complicate and under-complicate things at the same time.

There’s actually a lot of complex decision-making that goes into becoming someone who moves their body consistently. This isn’t like brushing your teeth, where there’s one clear trigger and the habit just happens.

Movement (and a lot of health behaviours) is more complex and requires adaptive systems.

The weather.

Your schedule.

The community center timetable.

The equipment you have.

So there’s a reason some things are trickier than others and figuring them out often requires thinking more deeply about the systems that support you (or don’t).

One of my favorite examples: I used to have big Costco bags of chia and hemp seeds sitting in my pantry. I meant to use them… but I never did.

It wasn’t until I put them in a mason jar with a spice lid right where I could see and access them that they suddenly started being consumed regularly. That one small systems change made it easy, and now it’s increased fiber and protein across my whole family’s diet.

There’s a bit of trial and error in this. And honestly the power is usually in less, not more.

If you look back through our community members Sunday Shifts Posts (community => Tag: Sunday Shift), you’ll notice they weren’t trying to change everything at once. They picked one thing. Reflected on it every week and saw things changes. I also noticed people who chose there Sunday Shift goal had more follow-through than just tagging on to a group challenge post (I think?!).

So I’d love to hear from you:

What does accountability look like for you?

What does accountability with community look like?

And what does accountability to yourself look like?

We’ve had Sunday Shift version 0.0 (or maybe 0.5 😅), and I want to think about how we can upgrade the experience with your input.

Are you feeling like: “Yep, I get it.” or “I’m confused as heck and need a simpler explanation of what the Sunday Shift actually is.”

(If you’re new here and curious, it really is the heartbeat of the accountability aspect of this community. Checkout the classroom -> Start here)
