Perhaps a month isn't the right time frame. A lot of awesome things entail doing not-so-awesome things on a regular basis for many months or even years.

Personally, I can say that in December I flossed my teeth every day; I went to the gym every day; I stayed roughly the same weight despite having a lot of holiday events; and I put a thousand dollars or so into my retirement account. None of these things is particularly awesome, but I think I have a pretty good chance of awesomeness if I can manage to keep this stuff up for 20 or 30 years.
