If you log on to social media around this season, you are bound to see a few “challenges” to get yourself together in the new year. From the 21-day squat challenge to the money challenge where you save a dollar every day of the year, challenges are popping up in hopes to make this year the best year ever.

But there is one challenge that many people don’t talk about, but everyone should. It affects everything mentally and physically about you, but it’s the last thing people talk about.

It’s a 21-day-fast from negative thinking. Yes, negative thinking.
