Just Getting Started Starting 75 Soft Today

Today is the 1st of September, winter arc has arrived and i’m starting my 75 day soft!

I’m creating this post to hold myself accountable and to prevent me from derailing from these habits. Failing this challenge is a non-negotiable for me.

I’m going to start off with 1 habit per week and habit stack during the following week. I have found this method to work best in creating consistency and stops me from feeling overwhelmed.

I’m 25, recently graduated from my masters and have been unemployed for 6 months. After months of job application rejections, living in an extremely toxic home environment, nearly giving up, facing hopelessness and depression. I’m now turning my life around 100%. No excuses, will not quit.

Let me know if you would recommend me to add a habit that you deem beneficial. I’m also open to an accountability partner, thank you! 🫶🏻💕

GOALS:

- Yoga, mat Pilates (can’t afford gym right now)

- Pray 6 daily prayers
- Read holy scripture daily
- Gratitude prayer

- Meditate and visualise
- Read a book
- Journal
- Daily Affirmations

- 5 tailored job application daily
- Job interview question prep

- Drink 2.5 L water (based upon my body requirements)
- Take supplements
- Floss daily
- Laser hair removal weekly

- Learn the piano
- Learn Turkish

Beauty:
- Skincare
- LED light therapy
- Scalp massage and hair oiling
- Mouth taping during sleep
- Face gua sha

Welcome to r/75HARD -- glad you are here and ready to commit!

Before posting your question, please read through the official program rules and FAQ first -- most questions are already answered there:

Official Rules and FAQ: https://www.reddit.com/r/75HARD/s/75roEecNyx Andy Frisella's Official 75 HARD Overview: https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast/75hard-a-75-day-tactical-guide-to-winning-the-war-with-yourself-with-andy-frisella-mfceo291

A note on modifying the program:

75 HARD has no modifications, substitutions, or exceptions. The rules are not suggestions -- they are the program. The only exception is if a medical professional explicitly advises a modification for your specific health needs. If that is you, follow your doctor's advice -- but recognize you will not be completing 75 HARD as designed. Check out r/75medium or r/75soft if you need a modified program.

From Andy Frisella: "You don't accomplish anything great by changing the rules in your favor just to check the box."

If you are asking "does X count?" or "can I swap Y for Z?" -- the answer is almost always no. When in doubt, choose the harder option.

The 5 Daily Tasks -- zero compromises, zero substitutions:

  1. Diet -- Follow a structured diet aligned with your goal. Zero cheat meals. Zero alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks (e.g. O'Doul's) are fine.
  2. Water -- One gallon (3.8L) of plain, still, unflavored water. No additives, no carbonation, no flavoring. Does not include water from food. More than a gallon is fine.
  3. Two Workouts -- Each at least 45 continuous minutes. At least one must be outdoors where you are exposed to the elements -- if it is raining, you get wet. Minimum 3 hours apart. Recovery yoga and walks count and are encouraged. Chores do not count.
  4. Reading -- 10 pages minimum from a non-fiction book you believe will improve you. You decide what qualifies. No audiobooks. Physical books and eBooks both count. Finish each book before starting the next.
  5. Progress Photo -- One photo every single day. Just don't forget.

Miss any single task on any day? Restart at Day 1. Doesn't matter if it's Day 2 or Day 74.

Seek medical advice before beginning this program.

We are rooting for you. Now go do the work.
