Introduction to the Full Focus Wellness Planner
The Full Focus Wellness Planner is introduced as an innovative tool designed to enhance self-care and overall well-being. Users can track essential elements of their lives, including sleep, self-care priorities, joy and stress levels, movement, hydration, nutrition, and gratitude. This planner serves as an updated edition of the original Full Focus Planner, integrating aspects of personal health management into daily planning routines. Positive feedback from early users indicates its effectiveness in fostering a holistic approach to health and wellness.
The 70-Day Health Challenge
A 70-day health challenge is proposed, encouraging participants to adopt new health-related habits in a structured timeframe. Research indicates that it takes an average of 66 days to establish health-related habits, thus the challenge spans approximately 10 weeks to solidify these routines. This collective effort is designed not only for personal growth but also to foster a sense of community among participants through shared accountability. The challenge aims to include various options to cater to different lifestyles and preferences, allowing individuals to engage in the process actively.
Three Daily Habits for Health Optimization
Participants in the challenge are encouraged to commit to three specific habits daily: 30 minutes of intentional movement, 10 minutes of mindfulness, and letting go of one diet-related item that is counterproductive to their health. The intentional movement can encompass various activities—ranging from yoga and walking to weight training—so long as the effort is consistent and purposeful. Mindfulness practice could involve meditation, breathing exercises, or simply quiet reflection, which has been shown to mitigate anxiety and enhance mental clarity. Additionally, participants are urged to identify and relinquish one unhealthy dietary choice, ranging from sweets to processed foods, providing an opportunity for personal accountability and growth.
Advantages of Mindfulness and Movement
Engaging in mindfulness and movement has profound physiological and psychological benefits, including stress reduction and improved cognitive function. Research demonstrates that mindfulness practices can help alleviate anxiety, often offering side effects that are milder than those associated with prescription medications. The practice encourages individuals to slow down and observe their thoughts, promoting clarity and emotional regulation. Combining mindfulness with physical activity not only improves physical fitness but also creates a balanced approach to overall well-being, enabling individuals to thrive both personally and professionally.

In this episode, Marissa and Ken talk you through the Daily Big Three of this wellness challenge and provide some of the science behind why these specific practices were chosen.
