Thirty Days

I saw this great TED talk the other day (if you don't know about TED.com and the fantastic things you can find there, go check it out - and tell me which videos you like best) and I wanted to share it:




Once I saw it, I decided I wanted to try it. Following is my preliminary list of 30-day challenges. I don't expect to do them all at once, of course (though I figure two or three at the same time could be fine) - and I am interested in any other ideas, no matter how crazy they may seem (you may notice, this list currently has a distinct lack of crazy. I'd like to get some wacky challenges in here!). Fire away!

30 days of:
- scripture study morning and night
- morning stretches, series of crunches
- reading a different play
- memorizing a different scripture
- blogging (happy to go again)
- learning a new phrase from a foreign language
- speaking to someone new
- no chocolate
- no sugar
- NaNoWriMo (traditionally November, I think... wait...)
- walking everywhere (local)
- no Facebook
- emailing/messaging someone different that I haven't talked to for a while
- practice doing a handstand; work up to walking on hands (cont. by Matt)
- no procrastinating; refuse to put things off
- write a daily journal
-

...

I think 2012 may have more '30 days' than just your basic twelve!

Practice doing a handstand every day. If you can do it consistently before the end of thirty days, move on to walking on your hands.
