Happy Monday!!!!
Today and for the rest of this week, I have set myself a 'challenge' if you will, to pay less attention to social media. Instead I will fine solace in hugging large bears and painting Unicorns by numbers.
I personally find social media is something that can eat away at your time unintentionally. Not only that, but images and opinions of others can affect us in a negative way. The internet is open to any and everything with no filter, so we cannot control what we witness. Or can we?
Weeding out the bad stuff
Take a few minutes out of your social media perusal time and actually look at who you are following, what images/text they are uploading, and the comments YOU leave on their posts. Now ask yourself if these things are helpful to your life and mindset.
Further digging
Now not only that but we can limit ourselves to a small amount of time networking. Having a quick look through your feed after you have uploaded something, is a big difference to spending 30 minutes finding out who's hating and who's dating from your old skool friends.
Social media is a brilliant way to connect with the world but it can also be something we allow to feed our insecurities and become obsessed with.
Goal- Spend little to no time on social media after uploading (if I choose too).
I will be logging out of my accounts.
Positive thought- It is far better to communicate face to face, so this is what I will endeavour to do.
What are your thoughts on the use of social media? Has it affected you in a negative way? I would love to hear your thoughts.
Have a blessed week.

Charity Fundraiser

HEYYY!!
If you follow me on Twitter, you will know that I have been raising money for charity for the purpose of a college project. The task was to plan, develop and execute a fundraiser for a charity of our choice.
I chose Noah's Ark Children's Hospice. They are a charity that help and support children with life-threatening and life-limited illnesses, and their families. Offering support, advice and counselling to parents of bereaved children, this charity is something those in need heavily rely on. Noah's Ark also organise sibling days to lift the spirits of brothers and sisters affected by an ill sibling. I really believe in their work and was more than happy to raise money for them. As well as that, I also plan to sign up as a volunteer.
On Saturday, we put on a children's fun day at my local church. There was a cake, book sale, teddy bear prizes, biscuit decorating and games. I made a special effort to greet all the guests and ensure everyone was looked after. Everyone who attended said they really enjoyed themselves! It was a great day!
I am so proud of what was achieved; it made all the stress and hiccups worthwhile! I would do it all again, but be a little wiser next time.
All my family and friends that have supported me, I am so very grateful. I feel very blessed . I love you all if you are reading this!
We have set up a Go Fund Me, where people can donate to our cause. Just click the link!!
If you are able to donate and/or share the link please do! Whether its £1 or more, every amount helps.
This has been a great experience. I have learnt A LOT and found some qualities in myself I did not know I had: for that I am thankful.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Much love xx
