Self-Care Challenge
See how long it takes you to complete the list of
challenges. Darken in the circle next to
each challenge as you complete them. There is no wrong way. Do the challenges over and over if you like
them. Challenge yourself and see if
things start changing more positive in your life. These challenges are meant for the young and
the old. Feel free to add challenges in
the blog comments.

I love "sweat" and "visit the library."
ReplyDeleteI might add "plan a trip to a place you'd like to visit/discover."
Excellent! Especially the good sweat from a walk, working out or taking on a tough task. It leaves you with a satisfaction that your are helping your mind and body while doing a good job of utilizing "time" in a healthy way. Sadly I don't always manage my time wisely. Most of the time with sweat.... You are producing something good for yourself and others! Thanks for the comment!!
ReplyDeleteIn reference to your suggestion of planning a trip to a place you'd like to visit/discover. Big trips are great but I am finally getting more wiser about trying to plan more weekend trips and day trips. There is so much to explore in our own areas of the world! Plus way more affordable! :)
