Make Me Do Stuff

[The Ox King]

Long story short, I'm going to let y'all decide my comfort zone breakers.

What do you think would be just crazy for me to do?

Keep in mind, I'm basically a normal fat guy. See my character description (in my signature) for a fuller description.

Go nuts with your suggestions, and I'll add them to the list as I see them.

It's even better if it's an invite to join you, or if you're inviting yourself to join me (and forcing me to do it).

 

Quests:

[Item to do] (User who suggested) [O means To Do, X means done]

 

Go to Camp Nerd Fitness (neomattlac) [X]

I did it and it was awesome. I regret not opening myself up to others more often, except twice when I just happened to slip.

 

Sign up for a class of something you're interested in; dance, parkour, or martial arts. (Elastigirl) [O]

 

You and me: saying five positive things about ourselves per day. These can be five things we're proud of accomplishing or things we like about ourselves. It's not quite a quest, more like a daily goal.  (StarRuby) [O]

 

Also, for a quest: go spelunking. Get the little head lamps and some clothes and crawl around in a cave! It's like nature with a little danger and adventure. (StarRuby) [O]

 

Practice Salsa from YouTube videos. Practice for 30 minutes (minimum) a day for 1 week. (Evicious) [O]

 

Go work out, outdoors, shirtless.  (Wear sunblock please.) 3 times per month, until the monthly mean daytime temp drops below 65 degrees.  (When winter comes, you're off the hook.)  (RainCloak) [O]

 

Talk to a stranger once every day for a week. This can just be the cashier at the grocery store or a colleague at work you usually don't talk to. (Akura) [O]

 

Attend a community event weekly.  You don't have to agree with them or contribute.  Just show up and see what's happening.  From presidential debates to high school sports to "save the Main Street oak tree". (Mike_d85) [O]

 

Give up alcohol for a month (or 4 weeks challange). (NemoG)  [X] (Oct/Nov 2016) Wasn't really a change. I rarely drink, plus I'm trying to lose weight, so it's less of an issue.

Hi, welcome!  

Here's an idea for a quest: Sign up for a class of something you're interested in; dance, parkour, or martial arts

Hey there!

I'll do this tomorrow, when the internet is better. Thanks! Also, I love your username, since I've always seen a little Mr . Incredible in myself.

Excited to hear about the class you find.

A lot of the quests in the academy are like this, and set for x days a week for a week, every day for a week, or every day for a month. Can you set a limit on it?

As for spelunking, hmm. I think there's some caves about an hour from here, so I'll check it out. Crawling around will be difficult, but not impossible.

Well, it's not going to be ballroom through the place I was before. I couldn't advance part the first stage because the second stage classes kept getting cancelled.

that's a bummer. Did they not have enough people sign up?

Correct. I signed up three times for the second level and never got to it.

Yeah, at that point you kind of figure it just ain't happening.

I like this thread! My suggestion is to practice salsa using Youtube videos. I found this one for you, but obviously you can pick whatever works best for you.

Like I told StarRuby with the affirmations, I need a specific time limit and/or quantity. Like, an hour a day for four weeks, or an hour a day for a month leading up to an amateur competition. Something like that.

Oops! I forgot to add that, sorry. Practice for 30 minutes (minimum) a day for 1 week.

Singular or repeatedly? 

[Akura]

Talk to a stranger once every day for a week. This can just be the cashier at the grocery store or a colleague at work you usually don't talk to.

Does the personal trainer I just hired count?

Well, the first time you talk to him/her does, obviously. The second time does not.

Oh, let's say 3 times per month, until the monthly mean daytime temp drops below 65 degrees.  (When winter comes, you're off the hook.)

To be clear, I'm still following this thread, so additions are still accepted.

[Mike_d85]

Attend a community event weekly.  You don't have to agree with them or contribute.  Just show up and see what's happening.  From presidential debates to high school sports to "save the Main Street oak tree".

[NemoG]

I like your idea of giving other the power to empower you! good luck with all your goals.

here's one;

Somehow I missed this one. I'll add it to the list.
