January Tasks

Here are your tasks for the month of January. Do as many as you would like. 3 is the requirement. This month we are trying to focus on the spiritual/self/and people smarts. *Blue and Bag*

Red-Verbal-Linguistic-Spend some time learning some new words. I was watching Joel Osteen and he was telling a story about a man who stuttered and wanted to be a reporter. He talked about how this man's roommate helped him increase his vocabulary by teaching him a new word everyday for 4 years. That is amazing to have that commitment. So increase your word smarts by learning a new word for a period of time. Either in English or try another language. Record your reactions to this experience in your journal.

Orange-Musical-Rhythmical-Spend some time learning a new genre of music. You should have a favorite group in each genre. So this month look at the blues/jazz category. Listen to all the different jazz artists that are out there and decide which would be your favorite. Barnes and Noble has an amazing selection that you can listen to and decide which one you like. Then go to the public library and borrow the artist. I'd like you to record in your journal who the favorite artist in the categories blues and jazz.

Yellow-Mathematical-Logical/Visual-Spatial-Spend some time completing a color by number or Soduku. Engage either the Number or Picture Smart by doing anything outside of your comfort zone.Record in your journal what you did and your emotions about it.

Green-Naturalistic-Spend some time outside in nature or around animals this month. Pushing the envelope when it comes to your Nature Smart. Record how you did this.

Blue-Interpersonal-Spend some time leaving messages on every phone call you make if you can. Connect with people this month by leaving a message whenever you call someone.
Intrapersonal-Spend some time creating your lists about what your preferences. Use lists this month to get comfortable with writing and getting your thoughts onto paper. Work on your book list, choose a category and find books to fall into it.

Brown-Bodily-Kinesthetic-Spend some time moving this month. Try an exercise that you haven't done before. Try to do some yoga, hip hop dancing, and/or ballet. These are great strengthening activities...check with your doctor of course first.

Bag-Existential-Spend some time learning about other religions. Sometimes the things we don't understand are usually the things we fear the most. Find a religion that is different from your own and read the facts and some of their beliefs. Try something if you feel comfortable. Write in your journal about the alikes/differences in your religions.

Enjoy!!!! PUSH the FROG!!!
