30-Day Challenges

The Power of 30-Day Challenges

• The idea of doing something new for 30 days was inspired by Morgan Spurlock, a Great American philosopher
• 30 days is the right amount of time to add or subtract a habit from your life
• Doing 30-day challenges can make time more memorable, instead of months flying by forgotten

Benefits of 30-Day Challenges

• Increases self-confidence as you take on more and harder challenges
• Allows you to try new things and discover new skills, even adventurous ones
• Example: from being a computer nerd to biking to work for fun and hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro

Overcoming Obstacles

• If you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days
• Example: writing a 50,000-word novel in 30 days by writing 1,667 words per day
• The secret is to not go to sleep until you've reached your daily goal

Sustainable Changes

• Big, crazy challenges are fun, but less likely to stick
• Example: giving up sugar for 30 days, but returning to old habits on day 31

Taking Action

• The next 30 days are going to pass anyway, so why not try something new?
• Take the opportunity to try something you've always wanted to do and see where it takes you
