#31daysofblackminimalism ・・・ Day 17 prompt: what challenges have you encountered on your minimalist journey and how have they helped you to progress? . . @jessmyoung likes to use the word "practice" to describe her #minimalism because she's always improving, and running into walls of #struggle. Some parts of this practice come easy, but others are challenging. * * We #failbetter when we learn from our decisions and use them to make better choices. Don't be afraid to share those painful lessons learned #incommunity here. Show us your struggle! . . . I’m guilty of making and accepting badly made cups of tea. 🙋🏾♀️ Sometimes I buy things or keep things because I think I can change/alter/fix them or make them work or will need them later. They end up sitting in a pile or at the back of a closer while I take on a whole heap of other projects (another challenge). I think the challenge/learning here is to only accept what is working 100% in alignment with where I find myself. I have to respect and honour all the other things that I project my expectations and hopes upon enough to let them go and find a home where they will be loved, valued and made use of regularly. I also have to learn to only take on projects only once I’ve completed another, or to schedule down time in between projects. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxoYgCgF1lT/?igshid=j0vscebyud28
