Kick Your Habit Month: 5 Tips to Help You Win the #70Challenge

June is Kick Your Habit Month, and SANCA is inviting South Africans to take part in the #70Challenge from 22–28 June 2026.

The challenge is simple:

⏸️ Pause It.🔄 Swap It.🥋 Kick It.

Whether you're trying to cut back on sugar, reduce screen time, stop vaping, avoid junk food, or overcome procrastination, lasting change starts with small daily actions.

5 Tips to Help You Succeed

1. Start with One Habit

Don't try to change everything at once. Choose one habit that is holding you back and focus on that for the week.

2. Know Your Triggers

Pay attention to when and why the habit happens. Is it stress, boredom, loneliness, or routine? Understanding the trigger helps you prepare for it.

3. Use the 70-Second Swap

When the urge strikes, replace the habit with something positive for just 70 seconds. Stretch, take a walk, drink water, breathe deeply, listen to music, or message a friend.

4. Delay the Urge

Most urges lose intensity when we don't act immediately. Challenge yourself to delay the habit for 70 minutes and see how your mindset changes.

5. Celebrate Small Wins

Every urge resisted is a victory. Every day completed is progress. Focus on improvement, not perfection.

Small Changes Create Powerful Results

The #70Challenge is not about being perfect. It's about proving to yourself that positive change is possible.

This SANCA Week, let's show that healthier choices can become healthier lifestyles—one habit, one choice, one day at a time.

Join the movement from 22–28 June 2026 and discover what you are capable of achieving.
