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!
#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.
#97 – giggle
Giggle when you overhear a child say something funny in public. Giggle when you realize your airplane seat number is “3D.” Giggle when you notice the “heads on” shrimp are looking at you on the plate. Giggle at life’s little moments full of silliness, coincidence, or hilarity.
#95 – try trapeze
If you have the opportunity to try a trapeze class, do it! Hanging from a bar 20-30′ in the air, with a giant safety net below you, will give you a huge adrenaline rush. Try swinging by your arms. Try swinging by your legs. Somersault to dismount. If they allow it, even try doing a catch. It is exhilarating!
#94 – thank your servers
When you eat at a restaurant, thank the waitstaff. Repeatedly. Thank them when they take your order. When they bring you your water or napkins. When they bring you your food or drinks. When they ask if you need a refill or anything else. Saying “thank you” is common courtesy.
#93 – listen to records
There is something so nostalgic and beautiful about the analog sound that comes from a record. Plus there is the joy from simply using a record player: Pulling the record from the album sleeve. Setting the player speed to the correct setting. Aligning the needle at the edge of the record, or beginning of a particular song. The click when the turntable starts to rotate. Listen to records.
#91 – do something unexpected
Are you a city kid? Go for a hike in the woods. More comfortable in the country? Visit a nightclub in a city. Quiet introvert? Try standup. Life of the party? Learn to embroider. Exposing yourself to new and unexpected experiences will enrich your life, and you may discover a new passion.
