Those of us who are a part of Connie Green and Jeanne Cates’ coaching groups are coming near the end of the 30 Day Blog Challenge.  The deal is to post to your blog every day for 30 days, and to comment on someone else’s blog who is a part of the group.

This is the second time I have been a part of the challenge.  It didn’t seem nearly as daunting as the first one did.  In fact, I was pretty scared to step up to accept the challenge the first time.  Connie said that her reason for challenging us was to help us get in the habit of writing every day.  It did that and more.

It must be true that establishing a new habit takes 30 days, because every day I now automatically put blog posting on my schedule.  There really isn’t any doubt in my own mind that I will do it.  Sometimes it takes a little while to decide what I will write about, but as I have said before, inspiration is all around if you are open to it.

This makes me wonder what I might challenge myself with next.  There are so many options to choose from!

What new habit would you like to establish in 30 days?  Or what kind of challenge would you like to give yourself?  Do you have a new skill that you would like to practice?  Is there something daunting that you have been putting off?

Here are some ideas:  eat 5 vegetables a day for 30 days; contact a friend or relative that you have little contact with, every day for 30 days (this could be via email, card, letter or phone call); collect some piece of unused clothing or clutter every day and donate to a charity; keep your checkbook balanced (unless you are already doing that); go for a walk every day or do some other kind of exercise; make a journal entry every day for 30 days; write a gratitude list every day; meditate for 15-20 minutes; do one random act of kindness without mentioning it to anyone; read a book every day.

I hope you will step up to the challenge and that you learn something about yourself and have some fun too.
