I reached the Finish Line! I completed a "No Facebook for 21 Days Challenge" and a "30 Minutes of Rest for 30 Days Challenge." Woohoo! If you missed my last blog about these challenges, you can get caught up Here.
Today, I get back on Facebook. What stories will I see? Is the Facebook world just as I left it? What did I miss? Who had a baby? Who got married?
What I learned from the Facebook Challenge:
- Excuses don't complete challenges. I was originally going to break this 21 day challenge into parts because I "needed" to get on Facebook for one
reasonexcuse or another. I was wrong. - A person CAN survive 21 days without Facebook while keeping the app on their phone
- I'm stronger than I think I am.
- Facebook will stalk you if you're not on it stalking others. I got an email every other day letting me know that I was "missing out."
- I miss seeing posts from family and friends. Facebook is a great way to stay connected to those that you don't get to see on a regular basis.
- I will do this again in the future if I ever feel like I'm getting "addicted" to Facebook.
- My house will not fall apart because I decide to sit down for 30 minutes straight each day.
- This is best accomplished after the kids are in bed.
- My body benefits from rest.
- I got to watch full episodes of House Hunters again.
- I could use more than 30 minutes of rest each day.
- I will continue to challenge myself to this on a daily basis.
The biggest lesson that I learned in the last 21 (& 30) days is this: Your best friends will challenge you to the toughest things. Not because they want to see you struggle, but because they want to see you succeed. They know you will succeed. To my friend who I shared these two challenges with, THANK YOU! I'm a better person because of you!
Job 9:19 - "If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him?"
Proverbs 17:17 - "A friend loves at all times."
