Do something new and different each month for a year with the 12 New Things® Challenge.

“The list could be anything you would like for it to be, maybe horseback riding, hiking in Yosemite, taking in a concert of a new genre, or taking up painting (the sky is the limit) - whatever you’ve been wanting to do and just haven’t done, you can begin your own personal 12 New Things® adventure by jumping in and going for it,” says Shonda.

“My 12 New Things® list includes different experiences,” Shonda enthusiastically states “It just so happens that I love to travel,” she says. “I’m able to unwind, explore, and enjoy different destinations when traveling and immerse myself in the culture, cuisine, and nature of every place I visit.” “Traveling also provides me with new ideas and perspectives on different subjects, as I learn more about the places I visit (and even myself).”

Visiting Davies Symphony Hall recently in San Francisco to check out “The Colors of Christmas” concert was a first for Shonda and she soon added the experience to her 12 New Things Holiday check list.

When asked what led to her creating 12 New Things® Challenge, she shared what started as a personal goal, spring-boarded into thousands deciding to join the challenge with her to make an on-going lifestyle change.

“As part of my birthday celebrations in 2019, I created the 12 New Things® campaign, to do something new and different each month for a year, forcing me out of my comfort zone and embracing change in a fun, positive way.” “12 New Things® has now become a lifestyle of evolution and renewal for me and others,” she says.

Challenging yourself is one of the most important aspects of self-growth. Without challenge and change, there can be no progress or improvement.

“We often talk about things that we want out of life, things we dream about, and that’s where it ends – with us talking about it. We’re not always willing to challenge ourselves, to step out of our comfort zone and actually make things happen. Change and challenge, doing things that scare or intimidate us might seem difficult, but it doesn’t have to be,” Shonda added.
