Hey everyone,

This week's challenge is: challenge the community.

The rules are simple:
  1. Complete the last challenge posted on this thread
  2. Talk a bit about what you did
  3. Post your own for someone else to complete

Make it nice and easy, and bonus points if you give it a self-care theme. :)

For example:

Challenge: Go for a walk somewhere green.
I walked through the park to have my lunch yesterday. It really helped clear my mind.

Challenge: Spend some time doing mindfulness exercises or meditating.

So, the first challenge is...

-----

Challenge: Do something you find therapeutic. For example, colouring, exercising, a puzzle... whatever helps you to clear you mind. :)
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.
I no longer work at The Mix! If you need anything, message or tag @TheMix

    What I did: Made myself a coffee and went for a walk in Regent's Park! I always forget how getting away from the desk even for a short period can help the brain unwind and refresh. Do I get a bonus point for a picture too, @Mike?



    Next challenge: Use a journey for a “Beauty Scavenger Hunt.” Find three unexpected beautiful things on your way to or from somewhere, can be as little as a sunset or someone smiling at you on the bus.

    Not joining in, don't worry :p Doesn't this usually have a poll so that people can vote on the next week's challenge? I'm probably getting it wrong, but I thought I'd check.

    Oh, yes! That's true actually. We can't add a poll to an existing post, but I'll post a fresh one. :tongue:@kathleen0172

    I checked in with an old school friend that I haven't spoken to in a few months, and we ended up reminiscing about the paper round we used to do together and the random stuff we got up to in the evenings. Aah, good times.

    Challenge: Tell someone what you love and appreciate about them. A friend, a colleague, family... just remind someone why they're awesome. :)
