“MAYbe I CAN” Challenge

Hey Tumblr I’m serving up another mental/physical challenge for the month of May.

The Challenge:

Pick something you’ve been wanting to do for your mental or physical well being. It can be something you’ve been wanting to get back to doing or just wanting to try but just never started.

Do that thing for 15 minutes EVERYDAY in the month of May. Just 15 minutes that’s it.

Keep it feasible and within the realm of possibility given your circumstances. But it should also be somewhat challenging and give you a sense of accomplishment.

Here’s some basic Physical or Mental Examples to help get you thinking.

15 minutes of walking or running. Workout or exercise, Meditation or yoga. Reading, crafting, doing a favorite pastime you just don’t make time for anymore and so on. Whatever it is it should have a positive mental/physical effect on your day to day life.

Staying Accountable:

Keep accountable by reblogging and adding onto daily posts. OR journal your own daily updates about what you did in your 15min. Use the tag #maybe i can to make it easier for others to find or tag me @m0tiv8me. If you wish to keep it more private and not post publicly feel free to DM me updates and I’ll respond with some words of encouragement.

Of course anyone is welcome to spend more than 15 minutes on their chosen activity if they wish. But aim for at least 15 minutes each day.

The GOAL:

The purpose of this challenge is to foster healthy habits through consistency and hopefully open the door to long term improved mental/physcial quality of life. Big changes often start small and it’s easy to become overwhelmed in this busy world. Take 15 minutes of time for yourself each day and start to believe “Maybe I Can” do those things I’ve always wanted to do.

What Next:

Simply add a 💙 emoji in the comments if you want in and you’ll be tagged in upcoming posts. Goal report and check in is Monday April 29th. Day 01 post goes up Wednesday May 1st at Midnight. So start thinking of what your 15 minutes will be used for and spread the word and let’s get a community of like minded people helping to encourage and cheer each other on for the month of May!

Any questions? Just ask!

If you're having a bad day, or you're just bored and have lots of leftover energy but nothing to do with it, consider putting on some Sparks tunes and dancing your heart out to them in a dark room

I've decided. I don't like the HTTYD movie sequels' xenophobia era. I don't think the themes should have gone that way.

Two fun things I learned about food lately:

The spice mix packet section of the grocery store is helpful for spice mixes for cheap! I used an enchilada spice packet to season a bean and meat stew lately, and it turned out so yummy.

I like chickpeas in soup. I don't know how I never tried it before, but chickpeas and lentils inside a soup with other veggies and meat, served with rice? phenomenal.

30 Day Fictionkind Challenge

26 Astron — Day 26: What are some songs that remind you of your fictotype or source?

I have my own playlist for tracks which remind me of my source. Some of them are there because they're part of the adaptations' soundtracks, a few resemble what I enjoyed listening at that time, and most are songs that either fully or partially express feelings and thoughts of mine and—from what I remember at times, guess at others—a few of the people around me.

I won't be sharing the entire thing because I have a bit of a complicated relationship with my musical taste, and it would most likely be nobody else's interest to listen to it, but I'll at the very least list half of the tracks:

The Lord of the Rings trilogy's soundtrack, especially tracks such as The Shire, Bag End, Very Old Friends, Concerning Hobbits, Flaming Red Hair, The Council of Elrond (feat. Aniron), May It Be, The Journey to the Grey Havens, Into the West, Bilbo's Song, and The Road Goes Ever On…, Pt. 2 / “In Dreams”;

The Lord of the Rings musical's soundtrack, giving special attention to The Road Goes On, The Cat And The Moon, Flight To The Ford, and Now And For Always;

Send Me On My Way by Rusted Root;

Just How It Goes, None Of Your Business, Darkest Hour, House In The Woods, Some Day Come Back To Me, and Friends Make Garbage (Good Friends Take It Out) by Low Roar;

Horizons Into Battlegrounds, Ghost Lights, Stabat Mater, Wasteland, to the wilder, and Boat Song by Woodkid;

DIVING BELL by STARSET;

Who We Are, First Light, Wildflower and Barley (feat. Allison Russell), and That You Are (feat. Bedouine) by Hozier;

Breath Of Life and Various Storms & Saints by Florence + The Machine;

Come What May by Daisy O'Connor;

The Draw by Bastille;

A Pearl by Mitski;

Burial Blessing by Johnny Flynn and Robert Macfarlane;

Boats & Birds by Gregory and the Hawk;

Herem by Perfume Genius;

Dear Fellow Traveler by Sea Wolf.

MAYbe I CAN! Check In.

Ok positive people time to report in for the May Challenge.

What will you be doing for at least 15 minutes to benefit your mental and or physical well being each day in May.

Here’s mine:

15 minutes dedicated to stretching, pushups and crunches each day. I’m stacking these together meaning I’ll start with some stretching, followed by some pushups and then do crunches while resting between pushups and then finish with more stretching.

I travel a lot for work, a gym is not always an option and sometimes my workdays turn out to be 14-16 hours long. I needed something that I can do literally anywhere at almost anytime. Morning, night, whatever fits. This feels practical and feasible to me and I won’t get frustrated or overwhelmed by it.

I was going to set a specific number of pushups and crunches for my 15 minutes each day but I fully expect to improve throughout the month. So to add another degree of challenge I’ll be working to increase the numbers I complete in my 15 minutes each day. Excited to see what type of improvement I can make from the start of May to the end.

——————-

So! What will your 15 minutes be used for? Mental health focused such as reading, writing, meditation, or something more physical like yoga, walking running, lifting etc.

Make it challenging but make it feel possible. Most importantly MAKE TIME FOR IT. 15 minutes each day that’s it. Easy peasy you can totally do it.

Daily update posts will go live each day at 12:00AM with those participating tagged. Reblog and be accountable by adding a brief update on your days success. Even if you struggled that’s fine, life happens and not everyday will be a win. If you didn’t hit a goal or make it happen how you’d like no worries. Still report in if you can and be accountable. We all need to see that each of us is human and that we struggle at times and help lift each other back up.

If you prefer to post your own and not reblog the daily post go for it. Add the tag #maybe I can or tag me @m0tiv8me so I can find it. I’ll be doing my best to keep tabs but I may miss some.

If you wish to remain private and not share publicly no problem. If you feel comfortable doing so my DM’s are open to anyone who wishes to share updates and report in. I will not be tagging anyone who prefers to keep private.

That’s it, you have until tomorrow to decide what your 15 minutes will be used for. Can’t wait to cheer each other on and stay accountable together for May.

Interpretations of Ink's soullessness is a spectrum from "It's a metaphor for disability" to "Fucked up little monster guy killing people killing people" and honestly im filling the entire spectrum all at the same time

i want to talk more about how autism, physical illness and mental illness TOGETHER affect my daily life. no one understands me when i say that i don’t have enough time im a week to do a simple task, but this combination of Three makes it nearly impossible to do even the simplest things

for example, i have to go to the store and wash my hair today, but 1. i cannot disrupt my pre-existing schedule and go to the store before washing my hair 2. my anxiety is killing me because i’m afraid of not making it to the store in time before it closes but i CAN’T go until i wash my fffucking hair 3. as soon as i got into the shower, i got struck with bad dizziness and also my arms are sore for some reason ? so i can’t wash my hair. and i can’t go to the store because of it. my head is exploding im so mad

Dark Knight Diavolo as a concept would fuck so severely and that's definitely not my bias speaking sorry I keep thinking about it

[pandora15]

being on a food renaissance means that you want sushi but haven't had it in months. it also means being mildly nervous about eating fish curry when the fish has bones in it (even though you've done it a few times recently)

and also like appreciating all the flavors you get to have and being grateful every time you can eat properly and the food actually goes down without trouble

also being mildly nervous about dry food — like there's this coconut sweet thing that my grandmother keeps making that I say no to because the last time I had it it got pretty stuck in my throat and I had to drink a lot of water to get it down and now I'm like "hm. perhaps not" even though logically I think I can eat it

anyways I really want sushi but like what if I can't eat it for some reason

who knows I haven't tried to eat everything possible since the renaissance began so like. who really knows
