New Challenge - 10 positive steps a day! - October

fairyclicks

I started this challenge for the first time half way through last month - Thanks to all those who joined me on that thread, and i hope you will join me again this month.

I got a little bit distracted last time and forgot to post my positive steps but thought i would give it another try this month.

For any newbies to the challenge here is my intro information:

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

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

3 a day sounds good for me as I'm at work all day so it can be surveys, listing things, sorting out paperwork etc dependant on the day.

Aesop

I just can't keep up with posting every day

I need the email reminders to post

anyway, count me in, will try again for October.

Rosie

Me too again please fairy

Pollydaydream

Can I join, please?

Feeling distinctly not positive today, but will try to kick self up you know what by Saturday :eek:

I'm going to try for 9 positive moneymaking/saving things a day and make at least one of them something new, plus one "generally make myself feel better" thing a day.

Oh its so lovely logging in and having some more people on the challenge - big warm welcome to you all

I like your plan Polly - your 'rules' sound like something i would do such a good idea to have one generally make yourself feel better thing in there too - i may have to steal that one myself

Is anyone else feeling like oh i did some good stuff today - i want to write that up and not have to wait? hehehehe typical me..... Well i am going to claim this for today anyway - i wrote a letter a while ago to go to my credit cards asking for the information i need to start claiming back fees - well finally i got them all sorted, added the account numbers etc and actually posted them! It feels great to have actually sent them off - i can't imagine how much i have paid in fees for my 8 credit cards over the last 6 years - If i actually get money back from them i think i will put it towards something nice

I'm also looking forward to hearing everyones positve steps - hope you are all ready for Saturday?
