The 10 minute challenge!

Spockette October 12th, 2023

Feeling depressed? Hard to get back into hobbies, passions and things you loved to do? 

We're gonna try! Just 10 minutes a day for a start! Any healthy offline activity is welcome, some ideas:

  • Journaling 
  • Exercise
  • Meditation 
  • Brain training games (puzzles, or even learning a language would be cool!)
  • Creative endeavours 
  • Studying special interests 
  • Reading

We're gonna aim for 10 minutes a day, don't feel bad if you can't do 10 right away -starting with 5 is totally acceptable!  Perhaps in a few weeks we'll be doing 15 or even 20 minutes! Who's with me :D? Feel free to join us here and in SR 💖

@Samar19

I exercised today for 10 minutes. I should add one minutes everyday until I reach 25 minutes, which means more 15 days and keep working out after them forever lol! I don't know how but yeah challenging everyday matters.

I think of a good reward then, as every morning I feel a bad feeling about exercising despite mum is joining me everyday.

@Samar19

I had some work for today:

1. walking for 10-15 minutes, I don't remember exactly.

2. Studying my medication tapering off plan.

3. Meditating through listening to music and sitting beside the sea.


I love this challenge and coming to this post everyday :)

@Spockette - while I'm happy to say I deal with more anxiety than depression these days - yes! I'm in. I spend way too much time on 7cups. I love doing activities knowing other people are maybe doing something too. This will be fun!

Oh this looks very fun and doable!

Spockette OP October 13th, 2023

@Heather225 thank you Heather :D I felt like 10 minutes always go by faster than you think, and usually that's the point you're starting to get into something so doing an extra 5 or 10 is easier than expected :)
