Why I love it: We could all use a good detox from the negativity on social media. Minimalism is more than creating a simple space it’s about creating simplicity in your lifestyle. Some of the prompts include simple pleasures like taking a walk, going without your phone or skipping makeup for a day. I have never been more ready to give minimalism a try! But this challenge isn’t just about purging your closet or throwing out old receipts. Why I love it: Did I mention that I just moved for the 5th time in 8 years? We downsized from a 4-bedroom house to a 2-bedroom apartment. Clutter creates more clutter – on our desktops and in our minds. The cleanse week of the challenge helps you clean up your social media (unfollow people who don’t inspire you) and your electronic space (sort your desktop into folders). This is great for those of us who need some variety in our challenges. Why I love it: The creators broke down the 30 days into 4 themed weeks, focusing on self-care, exercise, cleanse and positivity.

That’s exactly what this challenge gives us. We see it on the news, on social media, from our friends and family. Why I love it: The world is full of negativity these days. Questions like “I am lovable because…” force us to connect deeply with ourselves. Journaling is one of the most effective tools to allow our minds to focus elsewhere. Why I love it: Who isn’t stressed out these days!? We’re stressed about our job, our family, our money, our homes, our community, our world… We need to find space to free our minds from the constant barrage of negativity and stress.
