Healthy Habits Challenge
Hey everyone! 
Creating healthy habits for ourselves can be extremely important for our mental health. It can help us with depression and so much more. Creating healthy habits doesn't have to be a huge step or change, it can just be one small thing.
So for the month of November I will be having a healthy habits challenge, that was inspired from members. I will be posting a challenge each week and encourage you to participate and post your answers here.
Week one: November 1st - November 8th:
I challenge you:
--> Read one positive quote that speaks to you and share it here
--> Say one nice thing to yourself every day this week

(First off thank you Blithe and to the other members that helped bring this challenge into fruition!)
Day 1:
"Let not the world and its jewels cascade beneath you as you learn to unchain yourself from your limitations. The cacophony from its waters are akin to the symphonies from the fleet of doves above them who dare to fly in pride, selflessness, spirit, and bravery." - Grade 11 Me
I am brave enough to face any challenge.

"Always do your best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret." - Don Miguel Ruiz

That's a very good quote to take to heart!!! Thank you for adding to the forum. You are part of our group 💙💖💙🍪🍪🍪
A quote: "The most important thing is to enjoy your life — to be happy. It's all that matters."
I believe that happiness is success because you are content and feel good with what you have and what's going on.
A nice thing for me to say is: It's okay to feel happy, you are worthy of happiness, and you do not need to feel guilty because other people around you aren't prioritizing their own.
Day 2:
You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.
~ William W. Purkey
Today I say to myself: You have your own rythm to life, like a rolling tide, and it's okay to be different.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." ~Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.
One of my favorite literary quotes, and since it's also National Novel Writing Month, it seemed fitting. These last few days have been super anxiety-inducing for me, and I pray to God that everything ends up okay.
I keep an affirmation journal that I write in every morning, first thing. Today, I told myself that worrying about things outside of my control is useless. At the end of the day, things are in God's hands, and everything will be okay in the end.
Day 2
Quote on Elliot's behalf:
"The secret of making something work in your life is first of all, the deep desire to make it work; then the faith and belief that it can work; then to hold that clear definite vision in your consciousness and see it working out step by step..." -Eileen Caddy
