Feeling sluggish from all your holiday indulgences just to realize it’s only beginning? What about taking a breakfast challenge to bring life back into balance?

The premise is simple: Record what you eat for breakfast for seven days and how you feel ½, 1, and 2 hours after enjoying your meal. This could be done for any meal of the day, but I personally prefer breakfast as it’s a time of fewer stress variables, decreased physical and psychological carry-over from other meals, and limited influence of social situations altering your regular routine.

Do not fret. You don’t have to change what you have for breakfast or judge yourself for your choices. For example, in meditation, when observing your breathing, you’ll just be observing your food intake. There’s no wrong way to record (in a journal, on a piece of paper, via Instagram) just as long it’s a place you can easily reflect upon later. (But if you opt for Instagram, tag me and #breakfastchallenge so I can cheer you on!)

Once you’ve recorded your meals for a time that feels substantial enough for you, journal or reflect on the process in some way. And that’s it!
