2022 - My Year of 30-day Challenges

I have been thinking about making some sort of New Year's Resolution for the coming year and just couldn't think of something that really spoke to me or something that I really wanted to focus on for a whole year.  But then the idea came to me about doing a social media detox for a month, and then that led me to think about doing a different 30-day challenge for each month of next year.  Now that I could get behind!  Something new to focus on for each month.  I could do something new for 30-days.  And each month would be something new to try and learn.  I'm keeping track in another document, but here's my plan for the year:

January - 30 days of social media detox

February - 30 days of learning about Black History

March - 30 days of learning ASL

April - 30 days of meditation

May - 30 days of TED talks

June - 30 days of 10,000 steps

July - 30 days of playing piano 

August - 30 days of inspirational articles 

September - 30 days of gratitude journaling

October - 30 days of acts of kindness

November - 30 days of daily photos

December - 30 days of yoga


I'll be capturing my thoughts and progress here as the year progresses to try and hold myself accountable.  I'm a bit nervous.  I've historically never been really good about keeping to these type of New Year's goals, but I think the 30-day part will help.  ??  Maybe?  Wish me luck!

Finished February Challenge - just 8 days late

 I finally got through all the Black History Month topics on the Discover Our Glory page.  I learned a lot - about events, people, and movements I was either fully unaware of or had heard about in passing, but definitely didn't know as much as about as I should have.  I'm really glad I did this and hope to review it each year and add more to the list and to my knowledge.   Black History Month

Almost to the end

 I can't believe it's almost the end of the month.  This has definitely been a good break for me.  It's gotten to the point where I don't really think about it (meaning Facebook) -which I was in the beginning, more than I was happy with.  Now I'll think about it when I'm sitting watching tv or when I don't have much to do - just like, I want to do some mindless scrolling.  I'll get that urge to check it and I normally would have, but now instead, I'll check the news, or just put my phone down and really watch tv without any other distraction.  I feel like not looking at it right before bed has been really good for me.  I feel like I've slept better, but man I've also been having crazy dreams!  Maybe I'm having more deep sleep?  I have no idea what that means.  Overall, I think I'll go back to Facebook, but maybe unfollow some people to keep it limited.  I'll continue to not look at it at night and also at work.  It was a huge d...

February Challenge

 For the month of February, my challenge was to learn some piece of Black History each day. I was not good about it. Turns out adding something like that to your day is very easy to procrastinate on. 😕 I’m not proud of it it and I am catching up. I have a few more topics to search up and learn about but I am determined to finish up. This is important to me and I want to keep to my challenge that made to myself. Must try better with my other challenges!!
