Day 03 - New Habits
By WWTW Fundraising on
Welcome to Day Three. Today, we embark on the first challenge within our well-being series. At Walking With The Wounded, we believe mental health and well-being are just as crucial as physical fitness, which is why we’ve integrated well-being into our calendar.
Why focus on well-being?
Did you know that it typically takes 21 days to form a habit? Establishing positive habits can have a lasting impact on your overall well-being. Today, we challenge you to introduce a new daily habit for the rest of June that can contribute to your mental and physical health.
Suggested habits to enhance your well-being
Here are some simple yet effective habits to consider:
- Limit Screen Time: Avoid using your mobile phone before bedtime or first thing in the morning. This can improve your sleep quality and mental clarity.
- Stay Hydrated: Aim to drink up to 2 litres of water each day. Proper hydration is essential for physical health and cognitive function.
- Healthy Breakfast: Include a piece of fruit with your breakfast each morning. This small addition can boost your nutrition and energy levels.
The power of routine
Incorporating a habit into your daily routine can significantly increase your chances of sticking with it. Routines provide structure and consistency, which are vital for habit formation.
Integrating habits with your daily challenges
Consider aligning your new habit with the daily challenges from our calendar. Here are some examples to inspire you:
- Hydration: For each daily challenge you complete, ensure you stay hydrated by drinking water before, during, and after your activity.
- Morning Productivity: Make your bed each morning before checking the LD80 calendar for the day’s challenge. This can help you start the day with a sense of readiness.
Remember, the journey to improved well-being starts with a single step. Choose a habit that resonates with you and commit to it for the rest of June. By integrating these small changes into your routine, you’ll build a foundation for lasting well-being.

Welcome to our Longest Day 80 calendar! As we near the end of our Longest Day 80 journey, remember that each step you take is part of a larger goal. Your commitment and participation are making a difference. Today we'd like you to venture outdoors and take a mindful walk.

Today is Day 23 of our calendar and today we are exploring mindfulness.

Many resources are available online, including podcasts, YouTube videos, and books. Take a minute to explore these resources if you have time. However, if you’re new to mindfulness, here are three simple introductory techniques you can try today:
