Overwhelming desire to be good challenge

Happy Halloween!

We don't really celebrate halloween in Australia but I have got my lollies ready for any potential trick or treaters that may happen by my house. Problem is I keep eating all the lollies...there wont be any left for them soon! 

But onto the real reason for this post.

 Does anybody else out there in Internet land ever feel overwhelmed by blogs, Instagram and Pinterest to be the most perfect, happy, domestic, healthy, fit and beautiful version of ourselves at all times?

Don’t get me wrong, I love all of the social medias, it’s just sometimes I feel completely overwhelmed by all the things I “need to do” in order to be happy.

·      I need to meditate twice a day, each day to remain calm and work on my mindfulness.

·      I need to do yoga every morning to keep my muscles toned and flexible.

·      I need to eat whole foods and cut out sugar.

·      I need to embrace super foods like chia seeds, coconut oil and weirdly named berries.

·      I need to create my own moss paint (check my Pinterest).

·      I need to drink fancy green juices out of mason jars with pretty straws.

·      Make my own spiced almond milk.

·      I need to make ten different types of chocolate vegan protein balls.

·      I need to print my own chevron cushions and dip-dye my dog.

OK, so that last one was clearly a joke (although I do have a white cat…hmmm).

But seriously, out of all the crafty/DIY pins that I have on my pinterest board, I have attempted a big fat zero. I would dearly love to, but where would I start? There are far too many. Probably easier just to keep pinning more craft projects. 

I am guessing I am not alone? Please guys, tell me I’m not alone!

Don’t get me wrong; this isn’t a preachy blog post about how you can find yourself without doing any of these things.

I still very much want to do all of the things!

So the challenge I am setting myself is to focus on one thing at a time, and for added incentive, reward myself with coveted items (because I’m worth it). Feel free to join in if you want and choose your own challenges and rewards.

The rules are simple.

One. Thing. At. A. Time.

&

Keep. It. Simple.

Watch this space guys, I will be kicking off on the 1^st of November with a new Monthly Challenge!
