Snowflake Challenge Day 12

[muttthecowcat]

In your own space, create your own challenge.

My challenge:

Life gets stressful, and fandom can get stressful too, especially if you're trying to produce content all the time.  Take today off or a day this week and use your free time to actually relax.  Read a book or a fic from your favorite series, watch a movie, play your favorite video game, eat a regular balanced meal, get some sleep!  Try to stay away from "high impact" social media or forcing your brain to produce anything during this time.  Have a good break!

You can comment here to say what you chose to do during your break if you'd like!

This is probably the hardest challenge for me (she writes in between making breakfast for the kids, letting bread dough rise, and getting ready to make a slow cooker chicken thing all while checking comments)

Excellent choice - I will do my best!

[muttthecowcat]

Yeah I don’t have kids but it’s really difficult for me too bc I normally use all my free time to write, so I made this at keast partly to challenge myself. Hope you find some time to relax 💗

I've done that yesterday, but it was a bit of a cheat - I was suddenly without wifi so I just got my iPad out and re-read some of my old favourite fanfiction stories, oh and had a long bath! It was a nice break from the internet, for a bit!

PS. this is a lovely challenge, and I think everyone should take a day off, away from internet/social media once in a while!

[muttthecowcat]

A long bath does sound nice <3

[spikedluv]

Good idea! As much fun as fandom is, we all need to take a break to let our brains and bodies recharge. (It won't be today for me, given the number of Snowflake days left, but soon! I do have a Massage Wednesday coming up, lol!)

[muttthecowcat]

It’s ok; it wasn’t today for me either :’)

[novembermond]

I'll do this by staying off twitter&tumblr.

[muttthecowcat]

Hope you have a good break!

[novembermond]

I did, thanks.

[colls]

It's important to take a break from obligations, whether they're self-imposed hobbies or not. ;)

[muttthecowcat]

Exactly 💗 Have a good one!

I'm planning to spend the day reading, wrapped in a warm blanket. Great challenge! Thank you!

[muttthecowcat]

That sounds so nice!

Today has been a day off, aided by driving to see friends and chase shiny Totodiles. And now I'm curled up in front of a computer reading snowflake challenges.

That sounds so nice! Hope you had a good day <3
