Happy May Day all.
Here are a few reasons to love May:
- It’s actually warm and the days are long
- The first of May is a day of celebration – no matter the reason, everyone finds something to celebrate on 1st May. I wonder if we could extrapolate this attitude…
- Exams usually end in May and freedom begins
- The most memorable Bond girl/villain is called May Day
- … 1,000 other reasons
- (I am biased because my Birthday is in May)
I have made a little gift for everyone. A gift and a challenge. I find 30 day challenges a little scary, so this is a 16 day challenge!
A list of reminders drawing on mindfulness, Stoic philosophy and just general common sense urging us to be more present.
I hope you enjoy it. Print it out and see how you get on. I will report on how I got on on 16th May.

Ah, now I know why the connection. 🙂 We’re both May babies. Happy birthday month to us! I hope you don’t mind me re-blogging. I would love to do the challenge. Thank you.

I wish you a happy birthday! And the things on your 16 day program are things I do often (mostly) and the wear the worst clothes you own is always a test (of whether one’s spouse can tolerate them … helps me cull the loser and enrich the local thrift shop patrons).

Haha! Cull the loser, well said. I do think of those things often too – and many of them made life easier. For me, sometimes there is a difference though between thinking and doing – hence the challenge.

Reblogged this on I think, I say, I do and commented:
I think that this challenge is just perfect for me. Thank you to Dr Martina for sharing this challenge she has for herself.
Once done, by the time my birthday comes, I will have a better understanding of ME and my habits, my thoughts, my aspirations, and all that jazz… I think… I hope. 🙂 Well, at least I will be more mindful and that’s a good start.
Do join us.

I love your 16-day challenge and it’s only the second one I have ever been tempted to accept. I am relaxed about public challenges for other people, but I SO prefer to set personal private challenges that have meaning in my life. So, what a surprise to see this delightful list, so varied and specific. I may do it … but may not tell you. Thanks Martina.
