Open mic

Perform at open mic or karaoke

One Day of Fear

Today, do one thing that truly scares you

Surströmming

Have you tried surströmming? No? Time to fix that. Get a can any way you can. Find brave company or risk it alone. Film the reaction — yours or theirs. If you liked it — you're stronger than you thought.

Lap It Up

Take a saucer. Pour whatever you want into it — milk, tea, juice, beer. Get on all fours. And lap it up. Like a cat. Like a dog. Like a being that doesn't care how it looks.

New Color

You chose extreme? Then go. Dye your hair a color you've never tried. Pink, blue, green — your choice. Never dyed at all? Perfect reason to start. Spray, chalk, salon — doesn't matter how. What matters — today you're a different person.

10 rejections in one day

Ask 10 different people for something. Goal is rejection. Get used to "no".

The Mirror

Sit in front of a mirror in dim light and gaze at your face for at least 15 minutes without looking away. First your features will "drift" — then keep observing. ⚠️ At your own responsibility only. Do not attempt if you have anxiety, panic attacks or dissociative conditions.

Three days that can change a life

Three days in a row: do only what you want, and refuse to react to negativity

Half a tennis ball over each eye

The classic Ganzfeld: even diffuse light, white noise, half an hour with no external images

Ask to Move It

Ask to change one fixed point in your week: your start time, the standing call, Sunday lunch.

I'm Not Coming

Cancel something you only attend out of habit — and give the real reason, no cover story.

Collect Three No’s

Deliberately collect three refusals today: ask for things almost certain to get a no.

The Thing You Are Ashamed Of

Tell one person the thing you are ashamed of, and soften it with not a single word.

Name the Higher Price

Once, name a price for your work higher than usual — and go silent after it.

The Conversation You Owe by Years

Set for today, and hold, the conversation you have been postponing for years.

Call the One You Owe

Call the creditor yourself and ask for a payment plan — before they call you.

Ask for More

Set up the money conversation and say a specific figure out loud. Today: the request for a meeting and a prepared number.

Ask What They Earn

Ask one person in your line of work what they earn, and give them your own figure in return.
