30-Day Challenge: Halfway There!

Oh yeah. Halfway there.

Hello, hello, my wonderful people. We're at the halfway point of this challenge. How have I kept up?

Well.

I definitely have fallen behind a little on some things. That's what catching up is for, though!

....I have no integrity. I really need to stop being so busy.

On the other paw, I now get to work my brain more to come up with things I love about myself and life and for the bucket list. Hopefully, everyone else is doing better than I am. Besides forgetting to do some things, it's otherwise going very well. I feel happier overall and like I'm doing way better.

To anyone just now reading, here's the plan for my 30-Day Challenge:

• Name 5 things I love about myself
• Name 4 things I love about life/being alive
• Take 3 deep breaths 3 times a day
• Make 2 people smile and/or laugh
• Add 1 thing to my bucket list
• And as a bonus, write on Wattpad or on here.

My goal with this is to improve my well being and how I handle my mental disorders better so I can feel better about myself and so I can learn to not hate or fear my mental disorders but instead to respect them. Despite the difficulties with keeping up with all five things every day, I haven't really revised anything other than to just catch up if I miss something one day and to write down the five things and the four things. There were a few things I considered adding but I figured everything to do was difficult to remember enough as it is along with three different medications a day (at least two of them I do around the same time. Woo.).

The difficulties with this challenge mainly are actually remembering to do them. The only things I've managed to keep up with are the deep breaths and making two people smile and laugh every day. Generally, it happens to have been the same two people most days. Those are probably the easier parts of this. The harder parts are probably the five things, the four things, and the bucket list, as all those require me to have something on hand, either a computer or my bucket list and a pen. Despite those minor annoyances, I've learned a lot about myself, like how to better handle my mental disorders when they do their thing and the things I tend to do when they are doing their thing. This challenge has been meeting my expectations even more so than I expected with how much it's been helping me.

So I have those problems. How do I fix them to keep up with the things I have to do each day? I figure having a reminder on my phone like I do my deep breathing will definitely help. Asking the two closest people in my life to remind me to do these things would also be helpful. The main problem is that I forget to do the things, so having the constant reminder and not doing anything until they're done would likely help me keep up.

Yeah. Go having friends.

I had a few doubts about this thing, but I'm very grateful I've been doing it. The finish line is in sight, and I will make sure at least once during this thing I actually do all five (maybe even the bonus as well) things before the end of the day. Maybe that'll be a mini challenge. Challengeception. Woo. That's all I have at the moment so peace out people scouts.

No, I don't have a small obsession over cats.

It's a large one.
