Try Something New - Mini-Challenge June 2026

Welcome to June's mini-challenge! Imogen has managed to wrangle control of the mini-challenges back from the Self Care Mafia. After a month of writing like the wind, and then a month of taking care of ourselves it's time to challenge ourselves once again. This month the challenge will be to try new things. Change can be scary but it is a part of life that can make it all the richer.

To Participate

Do at least one thing that is new to you in the month of June. Whether that's going to a new place, trying out a new hobby, listening to a new genre of music, or reading a book in a genre you don't normally read, try something new and tell us about it in #mini-challenges in the GoT discord!

The Challenge will run
June 1st-30th 2026
