Challenge yourself with the four foundation habits
Choose your focus, learn the Habitmaking basics in your own time, and once that’s done you’ll get matched up with a buddy for support.
We recommend you make your focus one of the four foundation habits. These are each a building block. Make strides in these and they quickly pay back the energy invested – and more!
Keep your habit for 21 days, you’ll receive the digital badge for that foundation.
What the challenge is not
Habitmaking is about the amazing experience of really following through on a habit.
If you’re looking for a talking shop or a PhD, that’s not us.
We’ll provide some guidance on habits, but you’ll most likely already know what would be good for you to do.
Failing that, we can provide some non-controversial, science-led suggestions.
Think “cut out refined sugar” or “three sets of 30 strength reps” or “step out of bed into my trainers and leave the house for 2o minutes exercise”.

Power sleep
Many of the well-being goals people are served on a plate when we get a good night’s sleep. But the reasons we deny ourselves this can be complex. When we eat, when we use our phones, or that we simply make sleep important all play a role.
