Motivational Mondays Week 20: No status updates on FB for a week

20 weeks ago on a quest in 2014 to face some fears and mainly move out of my comfort zones I began Motivational Mondays.  I'm hoping to grow in many areas by embarking on this journey. I have heard that your amount of growth is directly related to how uncomfortable you are willing to get.  Join me this year as I get uncomfortable and get up off my duff.

So, on week 20 I decided to tackle  #9:  No status updates on FB for a week


For those of you on my friends list you know that I love to update.  I love to tell my happy news, my sad news, what I'm watching on TV news, emotional news, random news, family news, friends news, bad date news.... basically if it's happening in my life it's considered newsworthy enough to be a FB post.

So, when I had to embrace the challenge of NO FB updates for a week.. I figured that my only way to be safe would to be to stay off  FB.

Unluckily, I was locked up in the local psych ward for 5 days which ended up making me lucky as it came to this challenge and I am proud to say that from May 8th thru May 18th I had NO FB status updates.

I successfully attained this goal and can say that.. not getting on FB was the key.. and being locked up didn't hurt either.

Level of uncomfortable-ness on a scale of 1-10, 1 being slightly uncomfortable and 10 being "I am only doing this for my readers and will never attempt this again" This rates a 5.

So, @ the end of the 20th week of Motivational Mondays I am proud to say I have achieved my goal and can cross it off the list.
