How the challenge works

Nightingale's idea is that we become what we think about most. The 30-day test asks you to take charge of your thinking and hold one clear goal in front of you every day.

1. Decide on one goal, the thing you want more than anything else. Make it a single, clearly defined goal.
2. Write it on one side of a card. On the other side, write the words “Ask, seek, knock” from the Sermon on the Mount. Carry the card with you. You do not have to show it to anyone.
3. Look at the card when you get up, several times during the day, and just before bed. Think about your goal in a cheerful, relaxed, positive way.
4. Notice the abundance around you as you go about your day.
5. Stop thinking about what you fear. When a fearful or negative thought appears, replace it with a picture of your goal.
6. Each day, do more than you have to do and give more of yourself than usual.
7. Do not worry about exactly how you will get there. Keep your goal in front of you and do your best.
8. In your spare time, read books that inspire you.
9. If you find yourself overwhelmed by negative thoughts, start again and go 30 more days. When you finish, repeat the test.
