CONNECT! Turn off the noise and connect deeper with your peeps and yourself.
Your STRONG Challenge continues with Connect! This week we will get STRONGer through CONNECTing with people. Did you know that on average we receive over 6,000 messages a day? Let that sink in... These constant beeps, dings, buzzes, and tweets are demanding our attention and severely hurting our health. And worse, they are pulling us away from the things that truly matter the most in our short lives. This week, you will be challenged to go deeper mentally and spiritually in the Challenge. You got this and we believe in YOU, because YOU are STRONG.
