Recently, I was listening to one of Hal Elrod's pod casts in which he suggested starting a 30 Day Challenge. For those of you who have never heard of Hal Elrod, he's the author of The Miracle Morning. It's a life changing book. I would strongly recommend watching his pod casts & reading his books. He suggested taking on one new challenge every 30 days. I thought this was a fantastic idea. What's your favorite 30 Day Challenge?
welcome to the rain.. i have been on a 30 day challenge. 1) lose 30 ounces of weight 2) place 30 open house flyers in the parking lot 3) welcoming 30 new first time posters to AR.. welcome!!!
Welcome to Activerain and congratulations on your first blog post!
The 30 day challenges on Activerain backfire for me. I burn out quickly when feeling pressure to write daily, as opposed to doing it on my own just because I want to and it's in my schedule. I've learned to avoid the temptation! We're all different, and this is one strategy that I need to avoid.
Michaela, I failed to mention in my earlier comment that the little orange Ambassador badge you see next to members' names indicates community volunteers who are available to answer all the how, what, when, where and why questions that will come to mind as your explore Activerain.

As others have said, blogging for 30 days, it's not as easy as it sounds. Welcome to the Rain...let us know how we can help.

Welcome, Michaela Hartery! I must agree with all of the smart people who posted before me, blogging 30 Days was a BIG challenge for me the first time I did it. I must say, as hard as it was, it became much easier when I read a post from another AR member who recommended having a plan. I did and I continued to blog consistently for several months. Hal Elrod is one smart man!

The challenge to post two blogs a day and to comment on twenty blogs a day is a good one for members of ActiveRain.

Welcome to ActiveRain. I haven't heard of Hal Elrod, but agree about the 30 day posting challenge as having been a real feat to accomplish.
Michaela Hartery - I don't have a 30 challenge yet. I can see what my homework assignment is today. Welcome aboard!
Cheers,
Tom

Michaela Hartery - I think Anita Clark has hit this one out of the park! Nothing like a 30 day blogging challenge to get into the great habit of blogging and posting every day! Great post and discussion!
