It begins! The Minimalist Challenge
I took on this challenge a couple of years ago but it seems like quite a fitting time to try it again. It’s quite fitting as I seem to be having more breakdowns these days. She says with a light flick of the wrist. I’m not suggesting that this is going to help anything at all, I just feel like I need to mix stuff up a bit.
I’ve taken this minimalist challenge from Anuschka Rees’ Pinterest and I’m going to attempt it day by day. So here it is:
Day 1: Stay offline for one day (You might notice that this says ‘offline’ so tomorrow there will be no post…)
Day 2: Meditate for fifteen minutes
Day 3: Declutter your digital life
Day 4: No-complaint day
Day 5: Identify your 4 to 6 main priorities
Day 6:Follow a morning ritual
Day 7: Streamline your reading list
Day 8: Learn to enjoy solitude
Day 9: Downsize your beauty collection
Day 10: No email or social media until lunch
Day 11: Evaluate your commitments
Day 12: Define your goals for this year
Day 13: Clean out your closet
Day 14: Take a step towards learning a new skill
Day 15: Examine your daily habits
Day 16: Don’t buy anything for 24 hours
Day 17: Practice single tasking
Day 18: Unfollow and unfriend
Day 19: Go for a walk and practice mindfulness
Day 20: No TV all day, read instead
Day 21: Journal for 20 minutes
Day 22: Create a relaxing bedtime routine
Day 23: Go bare-faced
Day 24: Practice gratitude
Day 25: Leave a whole day unplanned
Day 26: Identify your stress triggers
Day 27: Clear out your junk drawer
