What's the challenge?

On the 11th October I turned 29. Some embrace getting older, some fear it and others wonder where the time went. This is what I thought. Jane Fonda said in her Oprah Master Class that you live your life in 3 acts, each act spanning 30 years. With this in mind all I was thinking when I turned 29 was that I am nearing the end of my first act, make it count!

I have a great set of friends, some are married with kids and settled down, others are high flying in their careers, and others are still trying to figure it all out. I guess that's where I am. I'm nowhere near ready for marriage and kids (thanks to an 8 month stint as a 
wedding planner, it's put me off for quite a while.) And I'm not flying high in my career thanks to a career change earlier this year. But having lived in the same town for nearly 6 years, and knowing the area my whole life, I've started to get a bit of cabin fever. I want and need some change, and then I thought of the 29 challenge.

It's a simple concept, between now and my next birthday I will aim to do 29 things in 11 different categories.

These categories are:

Cook 29 new things
Meet 29 new people
Try 29 new foods
Go to 29 new places or try/watch a new activity
Reconnect with 29 things or people 
Read 29 new books
See 29 new films I haven't seen before
Write 29 pages of a screenplay every month
Learn 29 phrases in different languages
Listens to 29 albums I haven't heard before
See 29 comedians I haven't seen before
You can see my progress on this blog and Instagram - josstheboss2014, and if you're in the same boat as me, come on board and take the 29 challenge. Any suggestions for what to do in any of the categories are welcome.

So bring on being 29, who knows where it'll take me!
