Quotes About A New Week QuotesGram by quotesgram

Hey everyone,

This week's challenge is to try something new. It can be anything you like no matter how small or big your think your challenge is. You could take a different route to work, wear your hair differently or even try a new hobby. Comment below what you've done new this week :) 

If you have any ideas of things we can do for the next weekly challenge head over to this thread to share your ideas. Don't forget to vote on next week's challenge ideas as well!

- Aife

Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Welll technically it was Saturday and yesterday but I went on the tube and on the huge escalators at London stations which is something I’ve never done before and for lunch is a ham and coleslaw sandwich which I’ve never had before 😂
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Today I painted my nails which is something I rarely do. I even have a couple of photos for everyone.

    I got two buses to my sisters house (normally she picks us up and never got the bus there). But enjoyed it.  Took forever and we got a bit lost when got off the stop before lol but got here eventually ahah. And had nice lil walk to it
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Today I ate jacket potato. Yum. I also woke up super duper early (aka 2:15am.)

    Yesterday I tried onion. Yuck!

    Does trying to actually sleep through the night count? Usually I wake up a lot during the night. But tonight I actually slept through the night. So from 9:40pm to 7:15am. So proud of myself. And my breathing gets so much better when I have a break from my retainer and easy breathing equals easy sleeping. Even if my orthodontist won't be too pleased but I'm sure she would understand that it sometimes affects my breathing.

    Sounds great Kasa!  
    A good friend of mine sometimes takes his retainer out at night because it can affect his sleep,  trying to sleep through the night definitely counts and I need to try that too :)

    As for me,  I actually melted my cheese on toast this morning instead of eating it hard, 

    And Saturday I tried a toasted teacake(was nice apart from the currents and raisins so I'll stick with bread 😂)

    Something new - actually planning a trip away in advance instead of just asking my manager when the soonest I can take holidays is 😂
