Hi,

I love to do challenges that last about a week. Gives variety to my weeks and something fun to distract me from work stress. I am trying to generate a list of 52 challenges that I can put in a jar and pick a random one each week. I came up with 10. I have things like Drink a gallon of water a day, Do a 15 min youtube workout each day, etc. Do you have ideas for fun challenges I can add to my list? I couldn't find a list online which is kind of surprising.

    That's a fun idea! If I were going to make challenges for myself, I think I'd pick things that I know I can fit into each day without stressing me out like:
    • Take 10 minutes out of the day to meditate
    • Do 20 squats or other body weight exercises of your choice
    • Write down three positive thoughts from your day
    • Take a walk around the block or do another 10 minute exercise of your choice

    Read a book/ebook/etc at least an hour per day
    Watch one hour less tv per day
    Cook your own food for a week (if you don't normally. Easy is fine)
    Think of a theme per day and take 5 photos outside per day (kind of a 15 minutes from home challenge)
    Try and find a new hobby and practice it 30 minutes per day (the same or different each day)
    get enough sleep each day for a week
    rainbow challenge: eat red, then orange, then yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet veggies or fruit on consecutive days for a week (if possible without food wastage)
    walk up x numbers of floors per day
    throw out or donate one item collecting dust per day
    a week of experimenting with no calories drinks (hello sweet coffee) or no carbonated drinks. Could be the miserable week for some :D

    Try a veggie or fruit you've never had before.
    Cook a meal you've never cooked (maybe something from a different culture) . . . but if you don't cook now (as some people don't), simplify this down to make one meal from scratch.

    • Don't eat anything I haven't prepared in my own kitchen
    • Use my food scale on everything I eat
    • No sweets - just fruit for desserts
    • Only drink water, coffee or tea (But not a gallon! Heavens no!)
