doing something for the first time ever

carolbee

I am going to do something this year for the first time ever - just not sure what its going to be yet! it has to be something I have NEVER done before. what would YOU do? not necessarily looking for ideas, just curious ...

I would want to do a challenge, push myself to a limit that would seem difficult/impossible to my own social group.

Sky dive! Bungee jump! Something to scare the crap out of myself but when I land (hopefully not head fast) I can say '**** me that was awesome'!

I'd love to punch my boss in the mouth and tell him to stick his job where the sun doesn't shine - but I know that's just in my dreams :rotfl:


Giving up smoking is my real goal for this year.

I did Tai Chi really made me calm and think about things, the warm up excercises helped me become more flexible

paintballing is ace!! but on a more spiritual note, i can reccomend paul mckenna's change your life in 7 days book and cd.

Tai chi really is excellent, I used to go home floating almost! It is so relaxing.

Two years ago I had something devastating happen to me. At the time I completely on my own in Australia. When I came home it took a while for me to pick myself up, but when I did, I was determined that I was going to change my life and there was only me who could do that. I decided to try lots of new challenges whenever they cropped up. Since then I have done all sorts of things, so go for it! Doesn't matter what it is, just so you can look back and say 'Wow, I did that".:T
Do something for charity - something that you have to make an effort to do.:D
Go up in a small aeroplane, fly over your house and see it from a different perspective.:j
Get close to Nature - take up gardening, walking, wildlife watching.:j
Learn a new skill, make it something unusual.:T
Give 2 hours a week to a voluntary cause - local dogs/cats home perhaps.:A
Do something for somebody else once a week - maybe an elderly person.:j

do something that scares you - doesnt matter how big or small. once you've done it, you start to realise that the only thing to fear is fear itself, and it really pushes you on to try other stuff you've always been too afraid to try

i agree pavlovs-dog i went down this road in jan 06 and went white water rafting it scared the living daylight out of me but it open a new chapter in my life. i seem to make better decisions in what goes on around meand i feel100% better for it. not made plans for this year but who knows absailing maybe.

There - I was thinking along the lines of knitting or trying to hula-hoop, you're not as brave as me!
