Step out of your Comfort Zone - A Challenge!

I recently started taking acting classes, and one of my fave things about it is stepping out of my comfort zone. I am a bit shy, so I love being challenged to do crazy things in class. Instead of worrying about what people will think and holding myself back, I now enjoy the moment and just go for it! It's pretty neat, but unfortunately classes are only once a week...hence this swap!

For this swap you will email your partner a list of 5 challenges. After you've received your 5 challenges from your partner, try and do them! Try to complete them all within a week. After the week is over, email your partner back to let them know how it went. Maybe you can share what you learned, or how hard/easy it was. Also, if you simply can't bring yourself to do something...that's ok too. You can report back to your partner that you were simply to scared, or it didnt work out. But just give it a try at least! Don't allow yourself to back out too quickly!

Examples of challenges:

• Start a conversation with a complete stranger and keep the conversation going for at least 5 minutes.

• When shopping, try on some crazy clothes you would normally never wear. Take a picture and show someone.

• Ask the person in line behind you what coffee/food they are getting, and then offer to pay for them.

• Whistle a tune in a crowded area.

You can come up with all kinds of challenges, as long as they require you to step out of your comfort zone a bit. Keep it nice and friendly though. Don't ask your partner to do the impossible. And don't ask them to do weird or dangerous things either. Keep it fun for everyone!

Since this is an email swap, everyone with a rating of at least 4.5 is welcome. Newbies are welcome too. If anyone flakes, I can send you a list of challenges instead :)
