Hi this is my first post on this forum.

My goal is to say 'hi' to 50 random strangers. I have attempted this several times in the past few years and failed, but really, I don't think I tried very hard.

This is the first week of the 'bootcamp' and sosuave.net, that's where I got the idea I think. But even if I just do this that will be great. I tried to get a 'hi' in the past few days by walking around the streets for a few hours but I didn't manage to start.

I will give myself until Sunday 19th to do this. I am going on a bushwalk on the weekend so hopefully I will be able to do some of it there.

Good luck BTW!

If you're like me, the more you practice saying "Hi" the easier it should become. It might take awhile though

Thanks guys. I'm not exactly sure how many hi's I got over the weekend, but I will say I got 6. So that's 6/50.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten any other his since, so it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it in time to get to 50 his. So, I'll give myself until the 23rd to get the rest of them... this means I'll need over 7 hi's each day, hopefully I will do this.

Good luck! You can do it

Well, I still haven’t managed to say hi to someone on the street. I do definitely want to continue this, but I won’t give myself another time limit yet. I’m not sure how much time I will have to focus on this in the next week or so. My goal now is to just start. This might take me a while but as long as I eventually get there it will be better than nothing.
