Congratulations, you made it through the first week of this year. In not so other great news, you probably are already slipping in your New Year resolutions. Judging by several internet posts you are not alone. Whose idea was it to make these resolutions, sometimes the same one year after year? Lose weight, eat healthy, sleep early, read more, blog more, find a job? Mine probably haven't changed for what feels like an eternity now. And now I have come to the conclusion, most of us know this deep down inside too, that resolutions just don't work. We're only humans and under normal circumstances generally weak willed. Obviously not talking about type A personality folks here.
Since resolutions have failed me all my life, it is time to try something new. I like the idea of challenges. 30 day challenges are immensely popular (although never done one of my own though). I don't know the challenges yet, but succeeding at least 50% of my challenges would be one of the challenges. I think I'm not going to stick with the usual 30 days, it seems like a big commitment in some months (especially travel months). Some of my challenges would be 7/15 days. Some could be noncommittal with a validity throughout the year. Some could be as simple (or not) as talking to 10 strangers this year. These modular challenges would provide flexibility to pick and choose as the heart desires and some room to make up new ones on the fly.
Next week's challenge would be to come up with at least 4-5 challenges. Let's see if I fail or succeed in my very first challenge 😂.
