How I did it: I chose someone at random for 8 weeks and cheerbombed all the entires or goals I thought were noteworthy or interesting.Everyday I felt good about cheering peoples goals and towards the end of each week I started to notice that those people were actually writing MORE entries. I like to think that they were more actively working on their 43 things because there was someone there cheering them along! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Whenever I went grocery shopping or out with friends I'd pick something I'd never had before along with something I knew I liked (just to be on the safe side lol). I didn't let people's opinions about different foods influence me anymore, I tried foods even if my friends said they didn't like it...and sometimes I didn't like it either but other times I did. It just like anything else :you got to do it/try it for yourself and make your own… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Signing up is the easy part, remembering to send and log the postcards you receive is the tricky part.It was neat to come home from work and find postcards from people in Europe, US, Asia telling me about their city, town, country.Getting a new postcard brought a little smile to my face, it's nice to know that the world is so much greater than what I see daily.
