Organizing and Life Challenges
November 2021
by Maria Gracia Join our newsletter to be notified when the newest monthly Organizing and Life Challenges are available. This month’s theme is: Appreciation A rainy, cold day is not generally something we appreciate. Most of us think to ourselves, “Ugh…the sun isn’t out…it’s dreary out there…it’s damp, wet, and cold.” I’m not a fan of these types of days. Still, I find that if I focus on the beauties hidden within, I can even appreciate an inclement weather day. I focus on the fact that the heat is on at home where it’s nice and cozy. I might whip up a hot batch of soup to savor. Sometimes it’s fun to wear a new pair of boots or fuzzy socks this time of year. Sometimes, to find that appreciation within us, we have to will our minds away from the negatives and focus on the positives. This month’s theme is “Appreciation” and it’s a great word to zone in on this time of Thanksgiving. Here are your three mini challenges for the month, all based on appreciation. ___ Every day of this month, post about someone, someplace, or something that you appreciate: Think about what you appreciate and post a few words on your social media page about those thoughts of gratitude. Include a photo if you’d like as well. This daily exercise will force your mind to focus on appreciating your blessings. If you’re not a social media type of person, write in a journal instead. ___ Write 4 letters of appreciation, one for each week of November: Write a letter to someone who you truly appreciate and tell them why. Handwrite it if you could, or type up a note, print it, and tuck it into a greeting card. Mail it out. Your note is sure to be the highlight of each recipient! ___ Gather used, but useful, items that you’re no longer using/loving and donate them: Donating what you’re no longer using is a way of showing appreciation. Rather than tossing perfectly good things away (clothing, outerwear, appliances, toys, etc.), you’re appreciating their worth enough to give them to someone else who can make better use of them. You’re also showing an appreciation for the environment. Back to Organizing and Life Challenges Index
