Is 7 days enough time to create a lasting change? Well, I believe that 7 days of effort and dedication can create just enough space to change our perspective. A different perspective can enable us to create lasting change.

The tasks listed in the 7 day challenge may appear on the outset to be too simplistic. However, simple changes are often the catalyst for bigger ones. Students will need a notebook and writing utensil for this course. The notepad feature in a mobile device will also work.


Day 1- Make a list of the following things:

-Food, beverages, and/or restaurants which you have always wanted to try
-Skills that you wish to learn.
-Cultures and ethnic groups which you have always been curious about.
-Musical and dance genres which you are not familiar with.
-Groups/Organizations which you always wanted to join.

Day 2- Food/Beverage/Restaurant Day
Try a new food, beverage, and/or restaurant. Jot down what you tried and your thoughts about it.

Day 3-Music and Dance
Listen to an unfamiliar genre of music. You can listen to it online or attend a live show. In addition, learn some new dance steps. You can find informative dance step  tutorials by surfing Youtube.com.

Day 4-
Research one of the skills which you want to learn by watching and reading tutorials.

Day 5-
Join a Meetup.com group and attend one of their functions.

Day 6-
Research a culture/ethnic group which you have always been curious about.

Day 7-
Review the past 6 days of activities and assess what worked and what didn't.

Week 4 –Making Consistency a Habit It has been said that practice makes permanent. In other words, our daily habits help to shape our lives. For  example, if you desperately want to get into shape but, every day you forego exercise in order to surf the Internet all day and night… What are the chances that you are going to get back in shape?  However, if you carved out 30 minutes in the morning to go on a stroll, you would create a new and healthier habit.  You would also get closer to your goal of getting into shape.    The key to making consistency a habit is to build a solid foundation and to keep things simple whenever possible.
