30 day challenges are famous for a reason. Famous psychologist and medical practitioner Maxwell Maltz found out after years of noticing changes in his patients’ behaviors that it takes on average 21 days to form a new habit or acclimatize to change. Here are some of the best, no-BS 30 day challenges to turn your life around. [Feature Image taken from: TheAtlantic]
Go to the Gym for 15 Minutes for 30 Days
Trust me, if you could push yourself to the gym just for 30 days, it’ll become a habit. Think of all the money you’d spent and wasted on gym memberships and personal trainers. Think of all the emotional pain and sadness that comes as a result of not being able to stay regular at the gym. You can set aside just 30 days from your life, and go to your nearest gym just for 15 minutes. You could run or walk on a treadmill, checkout machines, do elliptical or stepper, it doesn’t matter.
Cooking Daily for 30 Days
Seriously, you should try cooking. It isn’t that difficult. You’d end up saving loads of money. On top of that, you’ll get a chance to eat healthy.
Use Airbnb for 30 Days
If you travel a lot or rent places, try to live on Airbnb. This practice would give you a chance of saving a lot of money and making new friends. Imagine your social circle after living with strangers for 30 days.

Do HIIT in your Room for 30 Days

Write about Your Past, Present and Future
Several studies have shown that writing about your past, present and future significantly increases your productivity and achievement. If you had some negative experiences in your past, writing about them will help you find the real causes of them. Write just 2 pages about your past and future goals for 30 days. It’s impossible to write the benefits of writing daily here. I’d recommend watching the video of Jordan Peterson explaining the benefits of writing.
