You are a Baker after my own heart. I love making pancakes, cookies, cakes and all kinds of sweet treats

 

[I'm exhausted]

You don't have to sugar coat so much, it doesn't look that good, proportions are very off and generally its a very simplistic version of my favourite Pokémon lol, but I hope more people will post cuz some of them are really skilled

From an artist's pov, this is really cute

Week 24 Challenge: Winterbells

Just having an easy chill challenge this week. So this is an old flash game called Winterbells. I know it's not Christmas but it does have a Bunny and we have just had Easter so...... Anyway it's got a nice chill vibe, relaxing music and simple but maybe frustrating gameplay. But I think these types of games can show us when we fail we can always try again.

You will probably need a mouse to play but you can play on touchscreen (I tried) but I found it difficult

Week 25 Challenge: Journal writing prompts

I haven't done a writing challenge yet and I would like to do a creative writing one at some point. This is a journaling type one and can be very useful for therapy.
Below I a posted an image of 20 prompts and underneath should be a d20. You can simply choose one you would like to write about or roll the d20 if you want to random. Post here or just do it yourself in private.

I'm not too great at writing but I will try to do at least one at some point this week

So I am going to give this a go and I rolled a 2, if anyone wants me to roll for them I can

2. What are my core values?

I think honesty is very important. I appreciate that we can't be completely honest with everybody all the time, so I can forgive a white lie, or somebody holding something back to protect something. Ultimately I just want to be true to myself and in the end I am only accountable to me.

Sportsmanship is another core value I have. I love playing games but I have learned that winning isn't everything. Games, like life, are more of an adventure or a journey, we learn about ourselves, how we handle success or defeat. When I play games I almost always want to share the experience with others and think about how they benifit too or how we achieve something together.

My final one I am going to add here is creativity. I like to paint models and the thing I appreciate most about this taking something dull and grey and bringing it to life with colour and detail. It's a really nice feeling to create something that has some kind of inherent value and is exclusive to you.

10) what do i want more of in my life

17. What brought me joy today?

What brought me joy was someone I know asking me if I've lost weight. I've been trying.

13. How can I get out of my comfort zone this year?

Often times I feel as if someone is watching my every move, I feel this when I'm alone too but it's extra intense when I'm in a public space, or even just around one or two people. It causes me to be jumpy and startle easy, or just very anxious about my movements/actions. I really want to challenge myself to not care what people think all of the time and to do things as if no one is watching (well to an extent lol) so I can feel a lot more free :) I want to remind myself that people aren't paying much attention to me and are mostly consumed with their own existence, which is a relief because sometimes I don't like to be perceived. I want to go do the things I want to do and go on the adventures I crave without having that massive anxiety that tends to dampen the experience a lot for me. So I'm going to push myself to go places I want to go and do things I want to do despite the fear.

 

[moshimoshi]

Welcome to the weekly challenge thread!

How this works: Each week I will try to post a challenge. Challenges are open to anyone who wishes to take them up. The intention of the challenges is to give us all a bit of motivation. Maybe push us to try something we might not normally try and to get involved in an activity that we can share with others.

Rules: There are no strict rules only informal guidelines.
Challenges are open to your own interpretation so feel free to be as creative as you want and do as little or as much as you want. You are welcome to adapt the challenge to suit your own needs and requirements.
Challenges should be completed by the end of the week but this is not strict, if you see an old challenge you want to do, by all means show us. If you are a couple of days late, who cares?
Proof of completing challenges is welcome but not neccesary. I will try to post evidence such as a photo but if you want to just write that you completed it and say what you did then great. Also challenges will differ in nature so the nature of the evidence may change but please be aware not to dox yourself if this is an issue for you.

Challenge Submissions: I doubt I will be able to maintain coming up with a new challenge every week so if yo have any ideas for a challenge please submit them to me via pm and I will consider using them. This is also welcome as I would like to get other peoples perspectives on how they want to challenge people, not only my own.
Week One Challenge: Draw a Pokemon!

I want to do this. Of course, like everything, the question is if I will actually do it, or just dream about it intensely until it fades away into another disappointment.

Good luck!

Week 26 Challenge: Make a piece of music

Let make some music this week. If you have your own music program or even your own intrument you can play you could try making a piece of music to share.

I have been playing about with https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/

Not sure if I am brave enough to share anything though yet

Alright.... I am late. But that is ok. I rolled a 11 on the dice.

So Where do I see myself in 6 months, Still stuck in college I guess, hopefully though, with my back and shoulders all healed, and mostly pain free, I really hope that there is improvement on those and on my allergies, because I have been on physiotheraphy for the last 6 months already, and I am really tired of the pain, and the limited movement. I will be done with my mandatory "voluntary" internship, well I will be done with that by june hopefully. I will have passed my last actual discipline in college and will be doing the class: introduction to the TCC. My piece of shit father wont be living with me anymore. And overall I really hope things are at least a bit better.

5 years from now I don´t know, I have no clue what I want to do with my life,I will hopefully though have my bachlors degree in biology, and I will be hopefully working. I don´t know if I will start my masters after I finish college, or what... I had though about taking possibly night classes on Marcenary which is another thing I really like, and I like tha idea of a more active job, than a "lab" job. But who know I might also be dead. Honeslty if thing don´t improve at all that is where I might be... But will see.

So I am going to give this a go and I rolled a 2, if anyone wants me to roll for them I can

How does one find their core values?

 

[carac]

You are most welcome anytime! Thanks for joining in and taking the time to write. I hope things are better for you in 6 months time too

How does one find their core values?

I just saw core values as things that are imprtant to me,like principles that I believe in deeply. You can google "core values" to give you some examples

I'm really sorry, I'm deviating from the challenge a little bit I tried so many times to make a piece of music, but nothing turned out good. So I just decided to play a song that already exists, I hope that okay lol. I played a song on my Melodica (it's like a harmonica but has a keyboard and a hose you blow into) I'm not very good yet so I hope it's not too hard on the ears >~< the video quality is also pretty bad I look forward to hearing your music if you end up sharing! thank you for this challenge!!

That's really sweet and you don't have to worry about deviating, you are meant to! How did you learn that? Do you read music? I taught myself to play the piano when I was younger but I had to stop. I tried again recently but our piano is really out of tune and I gave away my keyboard.

It would be nice to try and play something and share it though. I will keep having a go at the music maker lol. I really struggle with creativity though I find it much easier just to copy something

Sadly I have no idea how to read music, I really wanna learn though. I usually look up tutorials on YouTube! Awh that sucks :( I hope you're some day able to play it again if you end up having access to a better piano. One of the keys on my melodica is out of tune and it's driving me crazy

Creativity is so hard, I feel like it takes so much brain power. I believe in you! I'm sure you'll end up making some really cool stuff

Week 14 Challenge: Try some Yoga!

Just been trying this

Week 27 Challenge: Do a Marathon

No I don't mean a literal Marathon, unless you really want to! But why not try extending the period you do some whether it is some recovery process or just a hobby. So you could go on a longer walk or when you sit down to do some are, spend a bit more time than usual. You could try a movie marathon, or reading marathon. Try to push yourself beyond what you usually manage and see how far you can go. Be careful and dont strain yourself

I will be interested to hear if anyone will be trying this and what they do

Personally I will be having a gaming marathon lol. I know that's a bit weak but I will be taking precautions to make so I keep a healthy routine and don't over do it.

Does programming marathon count? If I have a project that I neglect?

I'm thinking of taking an indefinite hiatus from here soon, if that counts as a marathon.

@vak I guess I'll also be doing "programming marathons" soon. Except for me, it's just to make sure I don't fumble my graduation

Haha somebody finally beat my score, I didn't set the bar too high!

Hmmmm not sure about that one I think that's more of an abstinence based challenge but good luck to you, hope it works out for you!

Cool, I actually got super inspired so doing two marathons at the same time Very good challenge!!

Second one is going to the Prague nature reserve and climb the top of the little mountain every day. Maybe it will inspire someone

This is for today:
