I try to take on a new chumrah each week. A new chumrah opens up new zchusim for the person who made the kabbolah. I am looking for suggestions. Any thoughts for a new chumchah for this week?
Abstain from the CR and do something productive in its stead. Maybe write a dvar torah? Hey, you asked…

Your chumrah should be not to use the internet for a week.

I don’t believe not using the internet is a chumra. I think using it is a kulla.
This shmendrick started 5 troll threads in just one week. What does it take to get him blocked?
Remember that comment that you made about rav Moshe, zt’l, and how Torah protects kinderlach outside the house??
I think there was much more to what Rav Moshe was saying.
Otherwise how could we have lost such a pure innocent neshomah like the one we lost a year and a half ago???
There must be more.
I think it’s more important to make sure you’ve learned properly whatever you’ve learned (your thoughts) before correcting your actions.
Actions stem from thought. If the thoughts are corrupt or twisted, so the actions will be too.
Only eat foods that start with the letter “Q.”
Well there is
Quince, Quiche, Quinoa,
Quince, Quiche, Quinoa,
and Quaker oats, so he could eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and have a healthful fruit as a snack.
quale. but you may die.
And drink plenty of quinine (tonic) water.

If you spell it “quale” you may deserve to die. Quayle would spell it “potatoe.”
Don’t forget quesadillas.
Did you want some Quackers with that too?

My new Chumro is to give thanks to haShem and be Makir Tov. To this end I shall recite full Hallel on Yom ha’Atzmaut & on Yom Yerusholayim, in recognition of the wonderful Nissim that haShem bestowed upon we Jewish people.
My other Chumro is, that when I attend a Mincho Minyan that habitually omits Tachnun for no valid reason whatsoever, I recite Tachnun before the cantor commences Chazoras haShatz.
My 3rd Chumro is that I shall spend a few days in the Southern Hemisphere this coming weekend, so that I can really feel the full impact of the tragedies of Assoro b’Teves by fasting at the summer solstice.

Stop trolling this stupidity.
Peeling all fruits and vegetables year round (not just pesach). And stop eating tomatoes and chicken.

What’s wrong with tomatoes & chicken?

You should ask a Rabbi before deciding to do something that may be kineged halacha. It would seem that in Shul Tachanun must be said after chazaras hashatz and you should confirm with a Rabbi if you may say it before or if it is better to say it after aleinu.
WIY: For whatever it’s worth, I also say Tachanun before Chazaras Hashat”z. I don’t do Nefilas Apayim, however, because that would be an Issur D’Oraisa of Lo Sisgod’du, even if I think the shul’s Minhag is a Minhag Ta’us. There’s no Issur of being Mafsik between SH”E and Chazaras Hashat”z. However, one should not interrupt between SH”E and Tachanun (see the Aruch Hashulchan who speaks very strongly on this).
Tachnun {being a Supplication} is an extension of the Amidah, and hence should be recited as closely as possible to the Amidah; Being recited after Chazoras haShatz implies that Chazoras haShatz is considered as if everyone is reciting it, and naturally the inverse is:- How serious it is to talk or conduct any other activity during Chazoras haShatz.
This being in addition to a Pesak that my Rosh Yeshiva ZT’L gave me decades ago.
be mekabel shabbos 5 minutes early (if possible)
learn more Torah
be more careful with lashon hara
scream “Omein. Yehay shamy rabba.”
I call troll.
Shmendrik instead of looking for new chumros to take on each week, may I suggest instead to learn sefer Cheshbon Hanefesh and work on a new middah every week? I think too many people get caught up in doing chumros that they forget about middos. After all middos are the way we act and how we think and feel.
Stand on your head and yell with all your might: ku, kuku, kukuri, kukuriku!
Mik5: To slightly tweak something you pointed out. It is Assur to say Amein louder than the person made the Bracha/said Kaddish. You should say Yehei Shmei Rabbah louder but not Amein. Also, the Poskim point out not to scream so loudly that it looks like you are making a mockery of what you’re saying.
My 3rd Chumro is that I shall spend a few days in the Southern Hemisphere this coming weekend, so that I can really feel the full impact of the tragedies of Assoro b’Teves by fasting at the summer solstice.
There’s nothing stopping you from staying here (or wherever you are) and just fasting a few extra hours.
Of course, the *real* chumra would be to travel to the South Pole and then fast until sunset — in late March.

There may be no Issur of fasting a few extra hours this year, but next year when the few extra hours shall be Leil Shabbos, this will not be allowed, so next year, the only way of feeling more anguish by an elongated fast without belittling Shabbos, will verily be, by going to the Southern Hemisphere.
I agree 100% with what Brisket said about working on a middah a week, but if you’re really looking to increase your zechusim via mitzvos, then I would first pick one mitzvah that you are already doing and learn all of the halochos very well that pertain to that mitzvah – say netilas yadayim – and then make sure that you are doing it exactly properly. Many times people are already not doing things 100% the right way and instead of accruing full mitzos, they are doing things half way right or something like that.
Don’t forget qishka and qugel.
Quenelles are delicious.
Recipes?
On another thread perhaps, lest we raise the ire of troll seeking members and strictest mods.
Maybe every week learn a siman of Mishnah Berurah and follow the halachos it says there. After you keep every halacha you can start chasing all the chumros you want
My comment was not posted.
I had some good points, but it looks like the mods rejected it because – Ahem, Ahem! – and I don’t have time to re-type the whole thing sans the controversial part. Whatever.
