I’ve been doing this for 5 days so far and I’m enjoying it. It’s not the first time I’ve done it but I wanted to do it again right now because I’ve read a lot about the benefits of being grateful, and I’m keen to experience them. I guess I need to keep a gratitude journal for more than 30 days! 3 weeks ago

After reading this article and having watched the TED talk I’m keen to try new things and establish some new habits.

• Meditate
• A photo a day
• 10,000 steps a day
• 30 mins exercise a day
• No Facebook
• No soft drink
• 30 mins writing a day
• Read 1 hour a day 4 weeks ago

I was inspired to ‘try something new for 30 days’ by this TED talk.

“The next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days?”—Matt Cutts

I decided to de-activate my facebook account because I think I spend far too much time on there and not enough time doing things that are constructive and productive. I had once done it for a week, but I simply could not go on to do it for any longer after that because I was having major withdrawls (even though that was four years ago) So I’m prepared to take upon this challenge and succeed to the greatest extent.

I have set some goals to start myself with that I think will help me take my mind away from Facebook, focus and succeed:

- Create a new vision board, Write and Revise new speeches for Toastmasters, go to more Salsa events, look and apply for new employment, listen to more TED talks, drink more tea, take up sewing classes, write a list of other new goals for the month, go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, update my 43Things, do more yoga and meditation. 3 months ago
