New Challenge - 10 steps a day! September 2011

fairyclicks

Hi All and thanks for taking a look at this new challenge thread I am pretty new to MSE and i love it - it has changed my view of my debts and turned paying them off a fun game rather than a huge uphill struggle :j

I decided to start this challenge as it is something that i find useful and i believe it could be used in many different ways - for example i am currently using it to try and increase my income and pay off my debts, however in the past i used the same principle to help me cope with my severe depression.....

Ok so these are the 'rules' of the challenge as i do it, however do feel free to modify them for yourself a little bit

The goal as i said is to increase my income and pay off my debts, so quite simply i attempt to take 10 positive steps a day to help me achieve this. As i personally need to stretch myself a bit for a challenge to be effective i also state that i have to do 10 UNIQUE things a day (that also means i don't get bored cos i'm a bit prone to that )

Some modifications could be doing 5 things a day, or even 1 if you feel you need to start slow. Or you could do 10 of the same things in a day but make each day have a unique theme ( I do like this one myself too!)

Ok so I think thats it for now, i may add some bits to this as the challenge progresses.

I hope you will join me.... otherwise i will be a bit lonesome
