Hi Everyone!!! Today is the first Thursday of the month and here we are doing our updates! First, I would like to welcome everyone to the challenge. You guys made some great word choices, and I am excited to read what you have been doing during the month of January to push you toward your goals for the year.
For this year, I have chosen the word “LOVE” to meditate upon and be driven towards. I decided to have a theme category for each month, because that is how my brain focuses. As far as love goes, I am a firm believer that you must love yourself before you can love anyone else. With this in mind, I decided to dedicate the month of January to “Self Love”.
What did I do to foster “Self Love” in the month of January, you may ask? Let’s see shall we…
• I started meditating each morning for 15 minutes in silence
• Goals and deadlines to complete working on my novel were established
• I wrote several poems to help purge my feeling I usually keep bottled up
• After the passing of a childhood friend, I decided to start a bucket list
• A photo shoot I have wanted to do for quite some time has been completed
• I have done daily affirmations to practice loving “ME”
I’m sure there were several other things I have done throughout the month to walk in my truth of self love. One of the most important things I continue to do on a daily basis is to give myself permission to be happy!
For the month of February, I have chosen to focus on the “Love of History,” and look forward to reporting my progress in March.
