30 day Challenge: Do New Things Everyday

You will never know how much you can accomplish until you try. Never stop trying. Your miracle will come in undefined moments. ― Lailah Gifty Akita. 

 

One of the great things in life is trying something new because it offsets a monotony and mundane life. I was someone who liked routine and disliked changes. But once I made it a habit to implement something new in my life weekly or monthly, I started looking forward to it. Trying something new makes life exciting and you get to learn new things. Here are a list of things to try this upcoming month:

 

 

1. New hairstyle. Pinterest has some great inspirations!
2. Drive different route to work
3. Eat a cuisine from a culture you’ve never had before or new dish you’ve never tried before.  You might find something new you like.
4. Go on a new adventure. Maybe go on an unexpected road trip to somewhere on your bucket list?
5. Drive somewhere you’ve never been to before
6. Experiment with a new morning routine. Here’s a post I wrote on morning routines and how you can start yours!
7. Do something random in public
8. Strike up a conversation with a stranger or someone you’ve never talked to before
9. Do a random act of kindness
10. Try a new workout or a new gym. Check out Classpass to try a slew of new classes
11. Put a new outfit together with what you already have.  Mix it up!
12. Show what you mean by “I love you” to your partner or a family member in a new way
13. Start a new tradition
14. Read a new book
15. Watch a movie you’ve never seen before by yourself
16. Learn a new word. Check out Merriam-Webster’s word of the day!
17. Go to a Broadway show
18. Do a science experiment. Here are some cool ones to try!
19. Create a scrapbook for a family member
20. Turn off your phone for a whole day and be completely in tune to the world and people around you
21. Pay for someone’s bill at a restaurant
22. Make a list of 10 things for which you’re grateful (David and I do 10 while we take walks or on drives and it only takes 2 minutes).  You’ll be more positive during the rest of the day too.
23. Learn a new language. Try Duolingo or Babbel.
24. Handwrite a thank you note to someone who made a difference in your life
25. Rearrange your furniture
26. Learn a new skill. Try Skillshare or CreativeLive.
27. Spend an hour to start that business you’ve been wanting to start or apply to that dream job you want.  You have nothing to lose, everything to gain, and may learn a lot on the way
28. Do something that scares you like improv or surfing
29. Eat a fruit or vegetables you’ve never eaten before. I still need to try a dragonfruit!
30. Search of a quote that resonates with you and memorize it.
