#106 – slack line
Try balancing on a slack line. It is very difficult at first, but with practice your balance will improve. It will strengthen your core and small muscles in your feet that help with balance. There are slack line groups that meet up in local parks. Challenge yourself to try it!
#105 – be humble
You can work hard, and should be proud, but stay humble. Be grateful for your good fortune and opportunities, and don’t take anything in life for granted. Be humble.
#104 – learn to cook
Everyone should be able to make some simple meals. If you are new to the kitchen, start with meals that involve little cooking (i.e. salads, sandwiches), and/or that don’t have a lot of ingredients. Take a cooking class to gain confidence. Watch instructional videos (cooking shows, Youtube videos, etc.). Order from a meal kit service if you aren’t sure what to buy. If possible, make extra and freeze or save your leftovers for the next day.
#103 – take a helicopter tour
If you ever get a chance to take a helicopter tour: do it! Flying and hovering above a city or landscape in a helicopter is exciting and the views you will witness will be unbelievable. Every trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you shouldn’t miss!
#102 – eat eggs
Eating eggs with breakfast will help keep you full all day. Make an omelet. Eat eggs with toast or potatoes. Buy an egg sandwich or breakfast burrito. Keep hard-boiled eggs in your fridge. Eggs are delicious, inexpensive, and nutritious!
#101 – buy basics discounted
Buy basics (underwear, undershirts, bras, pantyhose/tights, socks, leggings, etc.) on sale or at discount or outlet stores. Since these are items that are worn year-round, and sizes tend not to fluctuate as much, stock up when you find something you like for a good price. With coupons and clearance racks, you should be able to get these items for at least 50% off.
#100 – iron less
Try not to buy clothes that require ironing at all. If you do buy something that wrinkles, hang it up on a hanger when you take it out of the washing machine. Air drying it will usually remove the wrinkles. Life is too short to be spending hours ironing.
#99 – do a 30 day challenge
Whether it is a 30 day challenge to encourage you to read more, exercise, eat better, or get better at a hobby, 30 day challenges are less intimidating way to develop habits, skills, or just try something new. Track your finances (to the cent!) for 30 days. Run or walk outside 1 mile every day for 30 days. Cut fast food from your diet for 30 days. Get up 30 minutes earlier every day for 30 days. The options are endless.
#98 – paint
Pull out that tray of watercolor paints from elementary school, and paint a picture. It can be abstract. It can be realistic. It can be soft and flowing, or use saturated colors. Listen to music while you paint. You will find it calming and it will reawaken your creative side. Paint.
