One of the great joys that I have found in going primal is all of the opportunities to “Do It Yourself” (DIY). There is a certain satisfaction and sense of pride that you can gain from taking on a project and completing it yourself that I feel is just lost on most people these days.

Enjoying the fruits of your own labor can be infinitely more enjoyable than enjoying the fruits of others in my book. There is truly a rewarding feeling when you eat a meal that YOU prepared or complete a project that YOU worked hard on.

In a world where we tend to be headed towards less DIY…frozen meals, processed pre-packaged meals, all inclusive products, consultants, contractors etc. There are less and less things to be able to work on and take pride in yourself. When is the last time you did something that you could really enjoy for yourself and take pride in? Maybe it was this today or when you cooked dinner last night… maybe it has been a month…. a year?

This weekend, my challenge to you is to fight back against the Wall-E corporate control of your life and take on one DIY project. You can cook a new meal, do a project that you have been putting off around the house, build a home gym… anything that floats your boat.

Here are some ideas:
1. Make an SoG Recipe.
2. Beef Jerky!
3. Make your own Mayonnaise.
4. Build a slosh tube or sand bag for exercising at home.
5. Do any of the cool projects from instructables.com or another Do It Yourself project site.

Take pride in your work… enjoy something that YOU put some work into.
