It's a new year, and we want to make sure that you kick it off right with our fabulous challenges designed to help bring out a new and improved you...
TAME
Put past demons to bed! What's holding you back from living your best life? An addiction to impulse spending, loser boyfriends or smoking getting you down? Unleash your new you in 2009 and banish those demons of the past! If kicking cigarettes to the curb is on your hit list, then you're in luck! With support from the ACTIVESTOP® programme and NICORETTE® products you've got double the chance of success than going it alone - the twofold approach to quitting tackles the psychological as well as the physical side of stopping smoking!

Spend time with family who you don’t see that often. So you haven’t seen your Grandparents or Aunties/Uncles in months? Now’s the time to pop around to say hello or organise that long-distance trip. They’ll love you for it, you’ll make their day/weekend. It’s all too easy to get so caught up in our own lives and how busy we are to set aside the time and make the effort. We seem to take for granted that our family will be around tomorrow, next week, next month when this might not be the reality. January is the perfect time to put in the appearance, let them know you’re still around and love them!
INTERMEDIATE
Personal admin time! Be extra tough on yourself this month in getting all those menial tasks, that we all hate doing, organised. Make sure your car is warranted, registered and had a service recently. Check that your passport is up to date (just in case you win that fab trip overseas!), file away and organise any important documents and spring clean your bedroom to get yourself ready for the New Year!
Do a good deed. Buy or make something for someone for no apparent reason or just to let them know that you were thinking about them. It’s always nice to feel appreciated, especially when it’s out of the blue!
CHALLENGING Go on a spontaneous and totally unplanned roadtrip. Pack up the car, get a few mates together and head off on a random roadtrip where you haven’t really planned where you’re heading or what you’re doing. That way you can stop and stay wherever you feel like! Make sure you take a tent just in case there’s no accommodation available.
Do something this month that is completely out of your comfort zone. Whether it’s as simple as setting free that big bad spider that’s been torturing you in the bathroom, introducing yourself to new people in a group or bungy jumping off the Harbour Bridge.
Do something that scares you a little that you’ll be so pleased for achieving afterwards. Doing something out of your comfort zone is one of the most challenging but satisfying things you can do!
