BGU: Ending Summer On A High Note-7 Day Travel Someplace New Challenge


Courtesy of Freedigitalphotos.net



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-Spend a day touring ethnic and retail food stores.

Day 2-Take a day trip 2 hours outside of your town or better yet spend the whole weekend there.

Day 3-Enroll in an foreign language course and start practicing right way.

Day 4-Apply/renew your passport (if applicable) and investigate flights/travel service.

Day 5-Host a travel themed party.

Day 6--Participate in  a walking tour of your town or grab a couple of friends and host one of your own.

Day 7-Ride the bus or the train to work (if possible) and/or to run errands.

This is why it is important to have an outline of the type of life we want to lead.   Creating a life outline does not have to be a huge and complicated undertaking. We can start by jotting down  5-10 hobbies that we enjoy doing. Next, we write a brief history on how those hobbies came into our lives. Finally, we write a brief summary on how we plan to integrate these hobbies into the rest of our lives.  ...
