CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: What you’re doing for YOU!
Hi Boitumelo here, I am going to do some major self-introsprction and reflection and work on areas of my life where I feel I need to heal. I am also going to finish reading the books I started but did not finish.
This week I will make some time to sip on my favorite fall time drink, sit outside and enjoy the weather and write for fun!
I am going to let people care about me.
I always push people away because I fear being loved and cared for.
I will stop ignoring people when they try to highlight my qualities, and try harder to accept that I am a worthy human being.
I will stop isolating myself, and open up my heart to love and compassion.
Hi it’s jeanette here ,
To treat myself I am going to find the pleasure of giving rather than receiving , too often the world and the society is about receiving , just today I received a small parcel with things for my journal , it made my day , the world and no one in it owes us nothing really , rather we owe it things by being the best we can and helping others
This week I am going to simply remind myself to ….be still. My mind is always turning and twisting around in itself. When I say….be still….to myself, it quiets down. It’s so nice. It’s a gift I give myself.
Taking a long, hot bubble bath
My 94 father passed 1.5 weeks ago. He died on the way to his guardianship hearing. Good (God) timing. I prayed that he would get his freedom and he ironically did. This week, I am focusing on health, eating well, exercising and sorting through the memories of my dad. He was abused by his interim guardian–they kept him isolated for 2 months–away from family and people who loved him. I have taken steps to become a certified guardian, to do things right and stop abusive guardianships. So that others will not die the way my dad did–alone & lonely.
I am going to take time to be by myself. I am going to breathe and enjoy that breathing. I am going to allow myself that time to relax and be quiet. I rush around all the time and I don’t even know why. I eat fast, walk fast, clean the house fast, etc. I want to appreciate every moment and live in the present. I want to taste the food I eat and feel the grass under my feet, I want to enjoy the act of performing routine tasks and appreciating that moment. I need to remember to do this. That is the hard part.
This week I plan to take more time for me through reading more.
I amf applying to grad school to update my journalism skills.
