One Small Thing
Are you ready for this weeks challenge? You know what I like?- Something to look forward to! Youre sitting through your day doing what you have to do and you can get tired or stressed or overwhelmed or bored. And what can keep you going through? Something fun to look forward to doing. Or something to get. This week I want us to treat ourselves a bit each day. Doesnt have to be much. Maybe a piece of chocolate, a few minutes reading a good book, a favorite song, a bath, exercise. What is it that you can do just for yourself as a treat. So that when you hit that mid afternoon slug you think Yes but I get (to do)_________ in a few hours. And part of it is knowing what youll do. Plan it out! So during the day you can use it as motivation. What can you do for yourself? Share with the group. Lets come up with ideas together!
So the challenge this week: Give yourself a treat to look forward to each day. Are you up for the challenge?
@AnnaKateMillerLCSW I think about how i can get back home and sit under the shower while blasting music.
@Isha Great idea! Make sure you follow through and enjoy the time to yourself!
For me it probably be reading my favourite book! Just to take my mind off od things :)
@terrytee Books have a way of letting us escape to another world if not for a few mins. It's great Self Care!
Thinking forward to gift myslf a peaceful weekend

@AnnaKateMillerLCSW Hello! think this is a really good challenge, because in a sense it adds more purpose! I think this will also give us a chance to understand how important self care is and doing little things for ourselves. I look forward to doing this.Thanks a ton!
@sunnyForest31 Thanks for taking it! I personally liked this one too. Hmmm you want me to do something fun. Why yes I think I will! I hope you find something fun and enjoyable to look foward to this week!

@Autismaunt14 Sorry for the late repsonse- I'm just catching up. I'm so glad you are taking good care of yourself and that this challenged helped. Enjoy the coloring- its not just for kids thank goodness! 
Talking to a close friend and listening to music helps A LOT! 
@Bushraaa Yes! Music can illicit such emotions and can be such a wonderful way to enjoy a fun night with a friend. Thanks for sharing!
