What is 2Weeking?


2Weeking is a project dedicated to challenging yourself and exploring new ways of thinking and living. This site will feature a new challenge every two weeks that will ask you to make a simple change in your life. Although only one challenge will be featured every two weeks, we invite you to complete any of the 2Weeks on your own schedule. If you complete a 2Week you will get a 2Week Badge from our site! Sweet!

The Premise:
Each challenge lasts for only two weeks and will explore different lifestyles from diet to behavior, use of technology to environmental conservation.

Why 2 Weeks:
Two weeks gives an adequate amount of time to internalize these challenges, better understand other ways of life and begin to break harmful habits. After 2 weeks the choice is yours to make the challenge a full on "lifestyle change." But hey, at least you tried it out and got a sweet badge from this site!

2Weeking Philosophy:
As with all self improvement endeavors, it is important to have a supporting community. It is best to 2Week with a close friend or loved one- someone who will support you during the challenge. 2Weeking also provides a forum where you can share your experiences with other 2Weekers.

Start 2Weeking out!

Tom's Review #12 - Visualization

I enjoyed the process of completing this 2Week, in that it made me think about some aspects of my life that I wanted to change. I originally thought that I wouldn't get as much out of the 2Week because I didn't have a specific goal in mind. Through following the steps in the article I found that I did want to change some things, particularly my health. I specifically decided to focus on rock climbing, eating better, and building exercise into my daily routines.

At first I did not like to do the progressive relaxation exercises, but the more I did, the easier they became and the more I actually felt relaxed. I was a bit skeptical my first time, noting to myself that I was already totally relaxed - how could I do so further (without falling asleep)? After doing the exercise I found that I was in fact more relaxed, and that I enjoyed the state. Doing periodic relaxation exercises, I felt more able to slip into these states, and that it was a more whole feeling.

I felt a little silly writing down elements of my goals and drawing pictures, but I think it helped me convince myself that this is truly what I want, and give me the energy to work towards it.

Overall, I strongly recommend this 2Week to anyone who is trying to accomplish something, or wants to make a change, but doesn't know what or where to start. I only got up to unit 6, but I hope to work through it, and finish the process in the future. I also feel that some of the relaxation and creative exercises were useful in and of themselves to gain some clarity in thought.

2Week or too weak?
2Week complete
