Ideas for 30 Day Challenges (Part 2)

I already know exactly what I want to do for my first two challenges, December 2011 and January 2012, but after that, I'm pretty much open...although I do have some ideas...

I already outlined five Ideas for 30 Day Challenges, but here are five more:

Morning Pages: Julia Cameron's book, "The Artist's Way", has become a guide for anyone hoping to uncover and deepen their creative mind. One of the two "pivotal tools" she recommends is writing Morning Pages: "put simply, the morning pages are three pages of longhand writing, strictly stream-of-consiciousness." While there is a lot that comes from this action, the main idea is to do this writing first thing in the morning to release any negative thoughts and connect to an inner power within. I'd like to do morning pages every day for 30 days.

30 Day Shred: Jillian Michaels might just be the world's most well-known personal trainer and fitness guru... In 2008, she released her "30 Day Shred" DVD which has three 20-minute workout routines where "you can lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days." While I'm not sure I trust (or think it's wise) to lose 20 pounds in 30 days, I figure it can't hurt to use this tool to whip my body into shape. I would do one of the work-out routines from this DVD every day for 30 days.

No Spending for 30 Days: Like most, I'm concerned about money and ensuring that I can live comfortably for the rest of my life and I do think I sometimes spend more money than I should, so after paying my bills (rent, phone, internet, utilities), I'd like to not spend any money at all (except for gas). It will require some creativity and pre-planning on my part, but I definitely think it will be a challenge and will be a good way for to clean out my pantry and freezer. So, for 30 days I will not spend any money outside of my bills and gas.

Yoga for 30 Days: I do enjoy yoga, but I'm not very disciplined about my practice, so I don't think I'm getting all of the benefits from it that I could (flexibility, strength, relaxation). By committing myself to 60 minutes of yoga every day for 30 days, I'd like to see what progress I make in my physical, emotional, and spiritual development. By taking advantage of various teachers, studios, and DVD's, I'd do 60 minutes of yoga every day for 30 days.

Go Raw in 30 Days: I'll be honest, I'm a bit wary about the raw diet (eating only uncooked and unprocessed organic food). While I can see its benefits, I'm not sure if it's completely necessary and it's got to be tough to follow. I am curious, though, and I'm willing to give it a try. For 30 days, I'd follow a raw diet.

So many challenges, only so many months. What are you interested in seeing me do?
