What Makes a 30 Day Challenge?

There are a few requirements for a challenge to truly be considered for one of my 30 Day Challenges:


The challenge has to actually be a goal of mine or something I’m considering adding to my life–I’m not doing a challenge just for the sake of doing a challenge. Although I'm experimenting in a way, I'm not doing this for the sake of conducting an experiment--I really do want to discover positive changes that can work in my life.


It has to actually be a challenge–as much as I’d like to challenge myself to 30 Days of massages and see how I feel afterwards, that’s not really a challenge (except to my wallet). As strange as it sounds, I want to struggle and discover just how strong I am.


All challenges should lead to a positive outcome. As much as I enjoy Morgan Spurlock, I will never have a challenge where I try to Supersize Me (in fact, most of my challenges will be working on "Minimizing Me"). None of my challenges will ever involve harming myself, the environment, or others. (And yes, I'm the judge on what that means.) He does inspire one of my other challenge ideas, though...


It’s a 30 Day Challenge–not a three times a week or four times a month challenge, so I'd prefer challenges that involve some kind of daily action or commitment. (Although I might try some with an ultimate 30 Day goal–like read 10 books in 30 days or something like that…)


I'm always looking for ideas for challenges and resources to help me...share your ideas with me by commenting below!
