COMMITMENT I commit to revolutionizing my life by being a part of YogaOne s Mission:Possible 40 Days to Personal Revolution. I offer my intention, in support of my transformation and to each and every participant s transformation, for the next 40 Days. I commit as follows: DAILY YOGA PRACTICE I commit to practicing yoga six days a week either at YogaOne Studios or, when it is not possible to get to the studio, at home (mat2mat.com is a great tool). The seventh day may be a day of rest or restorative yoga practice. DAILY MEDITATION I commit to developing a daily meditation practice and meditating twice daily during the program, starting with 5 minutes, twice daily. (We have meditation classes at every studio around a yoga class. We also have a soundcloud meditation for each week. Check them out at https://m.soundcloud.com/roger-rippy). BALANCING DIET I commit to adding healthy, fresh, whole foods to my diet, eating for optimum energy and feeling, rather than as a way to numb out. (One Love Juice bar is a great way to add daily fruits and vegetables to your diet). JOURNALING I commit to maintaining a journal of experiences, feelings, and practices. I commit to using the excavating questions from the 40 Days books for each week as a guide for journaling and to using my journal reflections as insight to share with the group in the weekly meetings. WEEKLY READING I commit to reading Baron Baptiste s 40 Days to Personal Revolution book throughout the program as assigned each week. EMPOWERMENT AND POSSIBILITY I commit to empowering myself and creating possibility for myself through the program. I commit to empowering and creating possibility for others through the program.

Touchdown! You made it! You ve reached the end of your Mission:Possible 40 Days to Personal Revolution and the first day of the rest of your life. This is a great time to gift yourself a big breath of congratulations. This is a major accomplishment. Was it perfect? WHO CARES?! Was there beauty? We hope so. We think the whole process (highs and lows) are beautiful and lead to you being BIGGER and BETTER energetically. Breathe in the changes you feel in your body and mind. Something really beautiful happened when you committed yourself to these 40 Days. You ve likely felt all types of emotions, from tired to triumphant and everything in between. Give yourself time to reflect and journal on what has happened. Look back through your booklet and see what has changed since those first few pages. This year s theme was Mission:Possible. What new possibilities did you find? Now is your time to shed old ways that are not serving the bigger You and direct your energy into growing something beautiful, YOU. You, purposefully. With purpose, awareness, and intention, your possibilities are endless. With the new tools you have learned, how do you move forward from here? Keep continuing the healthy lifestyle you started in the 40 Days (meditation, clean eating, daily practice). If you are interested in delving deeper into yourself and your yoga practice, consider committing to YogaOne s teacher training, and attending our workshops and retreats. Use this momentum to do what you ve always wanted to do but were too scared or too distracted to try. Change is always happening so why not change directions to where you want to go, to do what your heart most desires? Know this: you are a miracle. Miracles are created through intention + action. You ve done that. You ARE that. This is the beginning. Love and abundance, Roger, Albina, Amanda and the entire YogaOne Love Squad
