SHOT IN THE ENERGETIC VISCERA

Today after our session my client took me out to lunch at Patriot's Place by the stadium. We really enjoyed having some relax time together. After we left I went over to check out BASS PRO SHOPS as I had never been in there. It is the last store before the cranberry bog from DAY 2 of the DO NEW CHALLENGE.

Walking in I was impressed with the store displays. That is until I got to the shooting range. I am not a fan of hunting. Promoting blasting innocent animals gave me a hit in the old gut. The store has a lot to offer if you can ignore the violence aspect. At any rate I need to go lie down or walk it off. I leave you with a photo-log of their interesting displays.

Peace, Love and Non-violence. Shoot targets not animals.

THE DO NEW CHALLENGE is pushing yourself every day to DO something that you have never done before. That's right, each day find and DO something completely NEW.

Why??????
It sparks creativity, adds spice to life, breaks up the routine and stops you postponing so many of the big and small adventures awaiting to be experienced. In brief, it pulls you out of a rut.

Well isn't that like a BUCKET LIST??????
No. Bucket lists are different. First of all they're lists. Some of us are really bad at making lists and/or we have enough TO DO lists. Also bucket lists are usually for the BIG "check off" items before you DIE.

THE DO NEW CHALLENGE is more spontaneous although some DO's can be planned. Some days the DO NEW will be small, something as simple as taste a new food or travel a new route to work. Some days the DO NEW will be medium such as taking a NEW class, trying a NEW restaurant, seeing a NEW sight in a nearby town. AND some days the DO NEW will be BUCKET LIST BIG such as climbing a volcano, swimming with the dolphins or witnessing the birth of a baby.

Well let's get real. I am too busy for that. I can't DO more!!!!!!
It is not always about doing more. Sometimes it is just about doing things differently. For instance, let's say you wake up on a normal weekday knowing it will be busy and perhaps the perception is that doing something NEW just can't fit into the schedule. Just change something small like the radio station in the car, your choice of lunch place, the part in your hair - something. DO NEW will spark your creative thinking. Once sparks ignite then more creativity flows into your life, new ideas pop up, out of the box thinking abounds, VOILAs, AH-HAs and EUREKAs dangle like ripening fruit waiting for the picking.

If you are having a bit of a challenge thinking of DO NEW ideas just relax and let them flow in. It gets easier over time and with practice. Trust me. If you have ever felt the need to break set just DO SOMETHING NEW TODAY.

Join me. Let's inspire each other. Post me a comment with your own NEW DOs.
