Tony Robbins’ 7-Day Challenge: An Overview
Jump-start your life transformation with Tony Robbins’ seven-day challenge. Each day for the next week, you’ll tackle an assignment to begin improving a different area of your life. Here is an overview of Tony Robbins’ 7-day challenge:
Day 1: Master Your Emotional Patterns
Change your habitual emotional patterns to experience fewer negative emotions and spend more time in positive, empowering states:
- Write a list of every emotion you experience in a typical week, as well as the situations and events that trigger each one.
- Develop a plan for addressing each negative emotion and replacing it with new, empowering emotional patterns. The more consistently you do this, the more you will condition this change.

Make a commitment to your physical well-being so that you can enjoy your emotional health to the fullest. Increase your longevity and improve your quality of life by:
- Assessing your current level of health
- Committing to maintaining your health
- Committing to making regular exercise part of your identity
Day 3: Master Your Relationship

- Committing to prioritizing the health of your relationship over winning arguments
- Brainstorming with your partner pattern disruptions that you’ll both use when either or both of you become really upset
