About Try Something New Tuesday

Turning life’s ruts into ramps and exploring outside your comfort zone.

Do you ever get a “case of the Mondays”? I battle with a “case of the Tuesdays.” 

Monday mornings would start full of promise. Filled with hope and dreams of what I’d accomplish for the week. How I’d show up to situations as the best version of myself. As obstacles and unexpected things would come up, my joy for the week would turn to dread. 

By Tuesday, I’d feel discouraged, disappointed, and defeated. And still have four more work days until the weekend. 

Then in 2015, I did the math. If I lived every Tuesday like this, I’d spend approximately 4,588 of my days feeling like a deflated balloon. 

So I decided to reframe Tuesdays. 

Every Tuesday, I would try something new. An activity, a trial run, a habit hack, an adventure, anything to help me see the full potential held within a Tuesday.

And what did I learn? That an ordinary day can be extraordinary.

  • The best memories are made outside of your comfort zone.
  • One day is a long time to wait to start enjoying your life.
  • There’s always something new to explore.
