LENT
i'm not one who is exceptionally religious; but for some strange reason something prompted me to check when Lent starts.
(usually the excuse i give for not fasting during Lent is that i missed it and that there's no point starting halfway b'cus the point is to do it for 40 days)
but this time round i have no excuse because Lent starts on ... 6 March.
so i'm not going to just pay lip service and say 'oh yeah i'm going to fast for Lent', this time round i'm keeping myself accountable by WRITING IT DOWN HERE on the world wide web and updating the thoughts / revelations that i have throughout this period of 40 days.
this is what i'm going to give up:
1. IG & FB - two apps that suck the soul out of me. sometimes joy too because even through mindless scrolling the brain starts subconsciously comparing. "if only i could be like her... if only i had this... if only i wasn't like this..."
this Lent, no more comparison; only gratitude.
2. sugar. oh my mummy. this is going to be so difficult especially because i believe i'm addicted to sugar. i can't. the more i try to give sugar up the harder the cravings hit and then hormones + feelings + the whole shebang and i've gobbled down two donuts and an ice-cream. #whut
for the 40 days i'm staying away from sugar. i foresee being grouchy and angsty but i'm going to take my mind off food and meditate on food for the soul instead; God's word.
OK ACCOUNTABILITY STARTS NOW.
