Does anyone ever take somethng they commonly do and change it? So, alter the way you live for a while, in other words.
For instance, this week, I’m not waching TV and using the time I would spend doing that (probably more than I realize) for other things: practicing more and active listening to more art music (rather than just in the background).
This isn’t my first lifestyle experiment. They seem to be challenging, but fun (in a way). I might give up the internet for next one, which would be rough.
Does anyone else do random lifestyle things like this?
What I am trying to say is… What your suggesting is not life style changes. Just habitual changes. The ones I suggested are life altering. That is how you get a life style change.

Well, I think doing things like Boyscout are fun, and can give you a heads up if you need to make bigger changes, like you are talking about.

gotta start small, baby!
I understand what your saying. I think it’s a matter of definition. small changes can still be significant. Giving up TV is not significant, however.
I got tired of my apartment and being tied to the stuff I own, so I put every thing in storage and went the homeless route for about 4 months. Used sites like Craigslist, couch surfing, and hospitality club to find temporary shelter while traveling on the cheap. It was alot of fun, but I learned I am far too independent in nature to rely on other people for shelter. So, now I am back in an apartment, with a couple roommates, and substantially lower living costs. Plus I learned how to travel without resorting to hotel/motels and seeing new places from the locals perspective.
