SacredBlossom's May 1st ✩Self-care✩ & ✩Self-love✩ badge month challenge!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Hello everyone!!(っ＾▿＾)۶🍸🌟🍺٩(˘◡˘ )
I have chosen May 1st to be the starting point of two, month long challenges to earn two badges!! The Self-care and self-love badge! Start May 1st, end May 31st!
Self-care - Exercise at least 3 times a week for a month!╰☆╮
Self-love - Do something nice for yourself everyday for a month!╰☆╮
I wanted to invite everyone to join along with me!! It can be hard to do this along, sticking to commitments is no easy task!! However I wanted to gather people so we can do it together and be supportive of one another during the month of May!!
Because I mean for real, exercing? Not easy!! But we can do it!!
Post if you would like to commit to either or both of these self care &love challenges and what you have done through out the month!!
Thank you!!!
All my love,
╰⊰❀SacredBlossom`❀⊱╮
I'm also in. sounds fun!
Welcome MissMary :)!!
@MissMary
Cool <3
Did you want to participate? If so, tell me and I will add you to the list! :D
@roy13
Yes :) I will
Awesome!! Welcome! I have added you to our participant list!!
@roy13
I'm going to do both actually since school is wrapping up and I'm basically unemployed right now. :) I really need this.
It's good to have you were. I'm glad this can be a support when your down. <3
@Tuscany
Ok! I have 13 people on our challenge list! If you would like to me added, please message me :)!!
I will be tagging everyone once a day when I write in my self-love thing I did. At this time or any time during the day, reply to that post what you did on that day.
As far as exercising goes, That's 3 times a week, so you can mention where ever that you did it.
The big challenge is being diligent and doing the self-love everyday!!
This is a month long challenge, the self-love must be done everyday to count!! However if you miss a day, I don't see why you can't make up the day and run a little into June!
When you have completed all 31 days, go to your dashboard and Tell them you have completed both badge requirements and even link them this thread to give proof!!
I love you all! Let's do this!

@manification10 @sinner @mystique1111 @ReyneeseLovingSnow @HiddenGrace @MusicMajor @MissMary @Tuscany
I meant to say:
Go to the dashboard, below your badges to the left you will see "apply for special badges". Click that, and locate self-love and self-care on the list. Then explain that you did it and show them this thread as proof of your records of it :)!
I'm in! This is an awesome idea. Self-care too often goes out the window when we get too busy! This is a great way to love & invest in ourselves.

My self-love and self-care things went hand in hand today!
I walked down to the store down my street and back :D That's my exercise^^ I know it's small, but it's something!! Also I have an injured foot and knee for over-extending while doing in internship. I struggle walking at all sometimes!!
Before I started to walk, my walking in itself is a self-love thing ^_^ When I was outside oh my gosh nature is so pretty.. Also when I was walking I was saying "self-care" to myself many times make sure I was being intentional about my walking.
Another self-love things I did, was actually going to the store was nice, because I'm just so hungry and in a lot of pain D: and SAD D: So I was going to get some form of food, but I happened to get Soda, ice cream and candy >:D! Hehe.
The candy was little things mostly 25 cent one's like I had as a child. I mostly bought them on novelty! I got a ring-pop :D!! Never had that in so long!! Had to be least 15 years or more!! I also got an air-head candy :D a small mike and ike, and lemon heads ^_^. For my ice-cream ;D I got Ben and Jerry's Boom chocolate cookie core, mocha and caramel ice-cream :D and a 1 liter of coca cola :3
I grew up poor and everything, so I never got things like Ben and Jerry's ice-cream. So yea! #Adult XD!
Also another thing I did for self-love. Was when I had admired the violets I saw in my yard and desired to take a picture of them. After I put my stuff away, I got my phone and went out and took some pictures, then pictures of nature in my backyard too :)! You may wonder why this means anything, however for me, normally I never get around to doing things at all, so the fact I got up and walked all the way back down and did it, even though I had ice-cream to eat lol, was an exercise of self-initiation and will help me be better at doing things and not being a procrastinator pro.
Always in my heart,
╰⊰❀SacredBlossom`❀⊱╮
Today...
As an act of self-care, I biked to and from the pool (about a 3 mile bike ride each way) and swam for 75mins.
As an act of self-love, I let myself sleep in.
Looking good @lightAsAButterfly :)
My self love and care : I went walking and playing basketball in the garden and also played badminton I love drawing so this counts for self love I drew a thank you heart
Sounds wonderful @littlepony :)
thankssss!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote in my gratitude journal today and I did some gardening for the first time ever!
Wonderful @hiddengrace ! It's nice that you are doing a new things and something as meaningful and lovely as garendeing!! Good luck with that journal!! <3
2 Of May:
note: I'm having several holidays and I'm also doing a personal spreadsheet for this May challenge for Self Love & Self Care.
Self Love:let myself to have afternoon nap to recharge my soul, and regulate my mood. Taking hot & cold water bath.. it's soothing.
Self Care:simple indoor body weightexercises, stretching, sit up, push up, and squat.. at least it makes me feels good :)
Sounds wonderful@ReyneeseLovingSnowKeeping your own spread sheet as a record works too!! at the end if you'd like to post it for the full month, we'd all love to see it :)!! also this will be proof when you are applying for the badge! Keep up the great work<3!!
<3 thanks for the motivation!! :)
@ReyneeseLovingSnow your welcome <3
35 min run
Sounds good!! @sinner ! This is a 2 part challenge, exercise (self-care) and doing something nice for ourselves (self-love), please post your act of self-love if you would like to do that badge challenge as well~
I was too sick to work out today but I allowed myself to take the day to relax without feeling guilty. I was just like, "Dude, leave the guilt behind. You're not a bad person for needing time to yourself." etc. :D
Awesome @Tuscany!! I love it!! I love you leaving guilt at the door! Kick it! <3
Also remember that we only need to exercise 3 times a week :) So we have days off per week :3
Always in my heart,
╰⊰❀SacredBlossom`❀⊱╮
I went to gym in the morning, having exams so could not give much time but I will go cycling in the evening may be.. and now am drinking black coffee.. which I really like :)
Sounds wonderful dear @roy13 :)!
I'm in for the Self-care badge. Since I was on high fever last week I have been reluctant to start exercising however I think it's an irrational worry now so I will pick it up. Nice idea, @SacredBlossom!
Welcome :) @Ocean It's wonderful to have you joining us~
So today I decided to clean my apartment by vacuuming, disinfecting everything, cleaning countertops etc. I love being in a clean environment. I made dinner for my husband, friend, and I.I watched a movie.Then, ate frozen yogurt and walked to the lake in the back of my apartment complex and saw swans. The weather was nice and I admired all the flowers
