I love doing these 30-day challenges simply because they make things a little more interesting. I’m always up for a good challenge, especially if it has to do with proving something to myself haha! Plus it’s an amazing exercise of discipline and willpower because you don’t want to break the chain! 30-day tasks are also more doable and workable compared with 365-day challenges.
I’m on my fourth monthly challenge now. Last April, I wore black every day. Last May, I gave up soda. And just last month, I abstained from junk food. I wish I’d started in January so I could end 2011 with the accomplishment of doing one new thing every month!

First off, I’ve successfully completed the 30 Day Song Challenge! And it’s May 31st today, which means summer is coming to a close and school opening is just around the corner. Oh I’ve so dreaded the end of this month, but I’m not complaining that this break was too short/nonexistent because, for the first time in five years, I’ve managed to actually take a vacation. And I don’t feel the least bit guilty for not working on certain *stuff* I should have worked on this break!
Also, I’ve managed to post an entry on ze blog almost every day this May, thanks to the music challenge. So I’m thinking of taking on another 30 Day Tumblr challenge for June!
And lastly, I was able to keep my word (to myself) and avoid softdrinks for the entire month of May!
Now it doesn’t appear to be much of a challenge but if you know this person well enough, then you know he’s a Coke addict! To keep things interesting this year, I plan to do something different every month — every day for thirty days. Whether it be giving up something (like soda) or doing something different (like sleeping before midnight) or introducing something to my routine (breakfast?).
This June, I plan to take on the impossible and avoid chips for thirty days! Let’s see if I don’t lose my sanity. Wish me luck!
