The following considerations are neither easy nor impossible to adopt as this author can confirm by his own account. Yet small pieces of the puzzle added regularly every day make eventually a whole new pic.

1. Switch From 'I Have To Do This' To 'I Want To Do It'

When you are in the mode of 'I HAVE to do this' you are a running slave of whoever's orders you are following. They may be an external boss or your internalized commander. Actually the external boss just passes on the 'schedule' of his external boss and so on. When you switch your motivation to 'I WANT to to this' your whole perspective on life, work and play shifts. Everybody in the rat race is still a rat (Billie Jean King). So you might re-consider.

2. Adopt A Beginners Mind: Start Fresh Every Day

This is another change of doubting unhealthy conventional ways of acting: when you do your challenge any given day, try your best to look at the practice as new, the same as you would travelling to a new place. How does this look and feel today?

3. Share Your Process With Likeminded People

If you have any chance of communicating your journey of challenges, do so by all means. Others may have interesting comments. Even if they are negative you might recognize their negativity as fear which is valuable in itself. Yet maybe somebody even joins you?

4. Watch Your Approach: Change It If It Doesn't Serve You Anymore

Any practice has the potential to become routine and boring, in which case its starts to suck. Could you do it differently? E.g. starting from the end today, re-structuring the order of your challenge? Or just deepen it and seeing new previously hidden interesting layers?

5. See The Particular Topic As An Investigation Or Research Project

Maybe the most powerful way to change from routine and repetition to interest and passion is to see your challenge as a keen investigation. New questions might arise, answers will present themselves and more questions will come from that: this is the way of discovery!

6. Make Every Day Of Practice An Actualization Of Yourself

Does your challenge feel authentic, something that is – even for the limited time of 30 days – important to you? Does it inspire you and bring up more and new ideas? Do you feel like 'this is really me doing what I want to do'? Check out all aspects of it, including your resistance from time to time. Then continue and put your new insights into practice.
