website knows how to make the most of this time, and suggests that you listen to self-improvement ideas to meet New Year another person.

Weeks 1–3: Cleaning the house

Numerous studies have proven that cleaning not only cleanses our physical space, but also helps us organize our thoughts and achieve mental balance.

So, let's go!

  • Let's get rid of unnecessary things.

This advice is as old as time, but full of wisdom. If you really start cleaning your house, and not moving unnecessary things from place to place, your home will be transformed. And they can help with this by putting things in order.

  • Transforming space.

Every home has annoying little things: a broken socket, a piece of wallpaper torn off by a child, a peeling door handle. Doesn't qualify for a full renovation, but appearance and spoils your mood.

Make a list of rooms and what needs to be done in them. Gradually eliminate these shortcomings. We assure you, you won't have to spend a lot of money on endless renovations, but your home will look better.

Weeks 4–6: Relationships

Think about the people who make you happy and reciprocate.

  • Call friends and family whom you have not seen for a long time, visit elderly relatives, improve relationships with those with whom they were spoiled.
  • Have a romantic evening to your soulmate.
  • Make a list of gifts for family and loved ones. Buy them in advance, and not on the eve of December 31, as many of us are used to doing. Write and send Greeting Cards to friends who are far from you, so that they receive congratulations just in time for the holiday.

Weeks 7–9: nutrition

There is still a month and a half until New Year's olivier in bowls, which means that we have time to acquire healthy eating habits.

  • We've heard it a million times, but never followed it: limit your intake of sweets, replace flour and fried foods with fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains. , because you are definitely what you eat. Motivation in the form of a slim and healthy body for the New Year should help.
  • Avoid ready-made snacks and snacks, . You'll save some money at the same time.

Weeks 10–12: sports

Just for fun (for sport, of course), try to adhere to these simple rules:

  • Stop using the elevator and walk more. Get off public transport a couple of stops earlier, then park your car to “nurse” the doctor-recommended 10 thousand steps a day.
  • Start doing squats, push-ups, crunches, or running. If you do, say, 10 squats right now and increase the number of repetitions every day, by the New Year your body will have completely different shapes.

Weeks 13–14: self-development and rest

You did a great job! They started a lot good habits, strengthened willpower, became full of pride and self-respect. And we’ve even already bought gifts.

It's time to rest and take stock.

  • Psychologists assure: a feeling of gratitude makes us happier. Write a list of 100 pleasant events of the past year that brought you positive emotions or taught you something new. Look through the photos taken over the year to refresh your impressions.
  • Make a wish list and dreams for the coming year. And exactly one year later, don’t forget to re-read it and cross out everything that has happened.
  • Get into the habit of making your dreams come true: remember everything you have wanted for a long time, and start taking timid steps towards your aspirations every week of the new year. If you wanted to become a chef, cook a new dish every week or sign up for a cooking class. If you dreamed of becoming a writer, don’t get up from your desk until you write 2 pages every day. Is your longtime passion traveling? Dream about where you'd like to go in the next 12 months and start saving for that dream trip around the world now.
  • Write a letter to your future, tell it how you live now, what worries you, how you see your life in 10-20-30 years.
  • Make a list And most importantly, those who believe in miracles - just like in childhood. But now you already know that you can create miracles yourself.

    Do you feel the New Year approaching? Do you consider this holiday just another reason to relax, or is it a starting point for you, an opportunity to start life from scratch?

Personal development

100 days until the New Year!

She looked at hers and went to cry and was upset. The plans were Napoleonic, but laziness and all sorts of ugly things reduced them to Lilliputian ones. But our proud Varyag does not surrender to the enemy! I have a hundred days (a whole hundred!) to reach the end of many of them.

The goal of this hundred day: to tighten your tails, challenge yourself, not feel like a turd at the end of the year, exhale with a feeling of satisfaction, and, well, consolidate some habits.

Spheres: health, family, handicrafts and finances, personal development, recreation and beauty.

  • Health: Goal: to complete a full examination of Max, and don’t forget about us.
  • Handicrafts and finance. Goal: preparation for sales. Well, so that there is something to sell, if anything :). Prepare gifts for the New Year.
  • Personal development: Goal: keep your brain from shrinking.
  • Recreation, sports and entertainment: Goal: not to let yourself get stuck in everyday life. Put yourself out in public more often.
  • Beauty or self-care. Goal: look ten years younger :)
  • Miscellaneous: Goal: reach some annual goals to the end (write to LJ every week)

Plan: write down the tasks for each week here and add steps to the everyday goals that need to be achieved.

Write a short report for each week here.

I didn’t specifically write goals (except for health) that depend on finances. Looking at this year, I understand that if you don’t have your own stable income, planning all sorts of trips and purchases is fraught with danger :)

What awaits me during these three months?

  • “Breakdowns” due to a bad mood or the Moon is in the wrong Jupiter.
  • Obstacles in the form of: poor health, apathy, laziness, being stuck on the phone.

What will help me:

Well, something will definitely help me))

May the force be with me!

Have a dream? Run to her. Can't run? Go to her. Can't go? Crawl towards her. Can't crawl? Lie down and lie in the direction of your dreams! (V.A. Uspensky)

Good afternoon, dear accomplices!
I would like to propose an idea for a race that has existed on the Internet for many years, but which I would like to implement in a more closed and familiar group. I am waiting for those interested and your suggestions for holding such a race (maybe I didn’t take something into account).

Project "100 days". Hurry up to become better for the new year!

The purpose of the race is to motivate yourself and support your friend in acquiring healthy habits. :))
It is recommended to choose several big goals so that in 100 days you can either achieve them or get closer to their implementation. But if you are a planning and achievement mega-monster, you can set yourself 100 goals. ;))) And give an example to follow! Or maybe it’s more convenient and desirable for you to set yourself 100 small goals.

Take any 3 points from those proposed if you can’t come up with YOUR goals right now.
Can't choose 3 goals? Choose ONE, but important! And start walking towards her. Let your actions gradually become habitual.

In order to change your life (and in any direction), you need very little - just start taking action. But this “simple” is not always that simple. Sometimes we know what to do, but these actions seem scary to us. And sometimes we have neither a clear plan nor an understanding of how to make this plan. Perhaps these 60 small steps will help you finally start doing at least something.

And even if after 20 steps you realize that this is not your plan, you will be ready to make your own plan. Your eyes are afraid, but your hands are doing well?

1. Create your own “Calendar for clearing the House of unnecessary things”, distributing the cleaning of various areas of the home over the days.

Day 1: We sort through magazines.
Day 2: We disassemble the DVD.
Day 3. We sort out the books.

2. Live by the mantra: “There is a place for everything and put everything in its place.”
Try to follow the following 4 rules for all 100 days:

* If you took something, put it back later.
* If you open something, close it.
* If you drop something, pick it up.
* If you take something off, hang it back.

3. Walk through your home and find 100 things that need fixing or a little touching up. For example, change a light bulb, seal a hole in the wallpaper, screw in a new socket.

4. Finally, follow the advice that psychologists from all countries and completely different views repeat - write on a piece of paper from 5 to 10 things for which you are grateful in your life every day.

5. Create a list of 20 small things you enjoy doing and make sure you do at least one of these things a day for the next 100 days. For example, eat your lunch on a bench in the park, walk in the park with the dog in the evening, 1 hour of watercolor painting, etc.

7. For the next 100 days, try to have a good laugh at least once a day.

8. Choose a difficult book that you still haven’t decided to read, but wanted to. Read it in 100 days from cover to cover.

10. Stop complaining for the next 100 days. Negative thoughts lead to negative results. Every time you feel like complaining, try to stop yourself.

14. Create a budget. Write down every penny you spend in 100 days.

16. Pay in stores only with paper money and put the remaining change after shopping in a piggy bank. After 100 days, calculate how much you can save.

17. For 100 days, do not buy anything that you do not really need (this means quite large purchases). Use this money to pay off a loan (if you have one) or put it in a deposit account for six months.

18. For 100 days, devote at least 1 hour a day to finding or creating a source of additional income.

19. For the next 100 days, carry it with you everywhere. notebook. Write down all the ideas and thoughts that come to your mind, make your to-do list, add new appointments literally on the go right after your calls.

20. Monitor how you use your time for 5 days. Use the information you've gathered to create your "time budget": the percentage of your total time spent on the things you do each day. For example, house cleaning, time to travel to work, rest, etc. Make sure you stay within your budget for the next 95 days.

21. Identify a low priority task that you can not do for 100 days, and replace it with something that is really important.

I suggest running with secret reports.
Every day there will be a new post for reports: in the comments we write about our results and encourage each other. There will be no score board, but you can replace it with a table with report marks. Or maybe let it be with points - according to your accounting system, just so that everything is in one place and you don’t need to count anything additional. And I suggest that you still come up with your own assessment of what is happening and some kind of prize for your beloved (for myself, I plan to count the points earned for goals, which will eventually be converted into rubles and will be spent on some kind of gift).

The race starts on September 22 or 23 and finishes on December 30 or 31. A reporting, boastful and congratulatory post on the results of the race already in January 2018.

I planned and even started writing in early January.

Fast forward to September 22nd. Suddenly it turns out that there are 100 days left until the New Year. The book has not been written, deadlines are running out, I am a seal and a sloth, where to run, what to do?))

So my colleague and I are starting a hundred-day challenge.

What kind of challenge is this?

Then every day, for 100 days, we wrote for 20 minutes. Usually it took longer, but at least twenty. I wrote chapters of the book; Ira also chose to write – articles for the blog and writing for CPE.

We had a common document in Google Docs - a plate where we marked the days. If you've done your job, go for a walk. But check it out first. Missed days, and occasionally there were some, had to be made up on any other day. That's all.

And this is our sign (enlarged), which helped to track the process and feel the shoulder of like-minded people. In a sense, this also helped me not to quit what I started.


Why is a challenge needed? And why a book?

Firstly, as I already wrote, in December 2017 I foolishly added to my plans “to write a book in 2018”. I got discouraged very quickly (because I forced myself to write for an hour every day) and came to my senses when I almost wasted the whole year.

The second, and main, reason is the cultivation of discipline. When you combine best qualities seal and sloth, very often it is easier to come up with a reason why “no” than to find a way to “yes”. I need to sit down and check the tests, but for some reason I don’t want to. I should go for a walk, but it’s raining and I don’t feel like it. And this is all very pleasant in the moment, but in the long term it is harmful. And here – a whole 100 days. Exactly what is needed. At least educate yourself))

There are 100 days left until the New Year, friends. Yes, yes, that day is today. Think about what you want to do before the New Year? Read ten books, knit a scarf, lose weight, learn to swim? Three months - optimal time in order to bring your plans to life.

Share what you dream of doing before the end of the year: post a photo with the hashtag #100 days until 2017_MYTH, publish reports and impressions - every day or once a month. Let's inspire each other!

Give yourself permission to dream! What would you really, really, really like? It could be creative project, like the MYTH creator Zhenya Rykalova (every day Zhenya, who surprised and impressed her), or an old dream that you for some reason forgot about. Eric Larssen wrote great about this in his book “At the Limit.” Read it.

Every person has great dreams that speak about who they are - or at least who they want to become. If a postal worker dreams of building a yacht to one day sail around the world, this means that he loves endless oceans, the huge sky above his head and the sound of the wind in the sails.

He probably thought in his youth that he had his whole life ahead of him, and that someday - not right now - he would make such a journey. But years passed, and suddenly he realized that he no longer believed in his dream.

But the dream is still alive! He still loves the endless oceans, the huge sky above his head and the sound of the wind in the sails!

We encourage you not to give up on your dream. Remember what plans you made for 2016. Everyone has something that has not yet been realized. You can do a lot in three months. And even the impossible!

And some inspiration in the paintings of El Luna, the author of the magical book “Between I Need and I Want.” To start the journey.
