Challenge #94--Opt. Twist: MEDITATE/QUIET TIME...Midway

 
Hey folks! Welcome back to the Path of Positivity Challenge Blog! It is the third Monday of the month and that means that it is time to present the midway for Challenge #94. Before we start, I just want to say that I hope that each of you continue to stay well in your own little communities across this world.  

As we are a unique kind of challenge blog, it is important for you to understand how things work in order to be sure you are eligible to win any of the prizes offered. Please be sure to check out the START POST FOUND HERE for the specific details related to this month's challenge, and you can find out all the general details you need to know in order to participate, by clicking on the 'Challenge Details' tab (located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a summary of the most important rules can now be found in the right sidebar under the heading 'General Rules'.
 
Right now, it is time to continue with our midway. Here is a refresher of the details for our current twist:
 

Challenge #94

Optional Twist:  

MEDITATE/QUIET TIME

As we continue this year's goal to encourage you to usher more positivity into your life, this month we want you to design a creation that focuses on MEDITATION or simply QUIET TIME. We all need a bit of time to just relax and simply BE. Meditation is a great way to centre yourself but simply being quiet and at ease can go a long way in achieving stillness as well. Maybe you'll be inspired in your meditation or quiet time to come up with a project for this month. This could include cards, journals, wall hangings, etc. You could also go with a “time” theme…clocks, hourglass, etc. Embrace calm to help you through a busy time of year: back to school, end of year work goals, etc. Poetry, scriptures, philosophy are other options to explore. It all depends on how you personally spend your quiet time. For some, just colouring or journaling can be effective ways of bringing about calm. This month, sit back and allow stillness to help inspire you down the Path of Positivity! 
 
In order to be considered eligible for this month's prizes, remember that general types of  projects/posts will not qualify for the prizes UNLESS they are also positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature. Additionally, even if a project may qualify as positive, if your post promotes negativity, hatred or anything of an abhorrent nature, your project will be disqualified. Prizes this month include:
  • THREE images from Tindaloo Digi Doodle Stamps, our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants.
  • ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
  • One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

Thanks again to my fabulous design team! As always, each of them have their own exceptional approaches and concepts which impress me to no end. Each of these creations has demonstrated the theme of MEDITATION/QUIET TIME admirably and I hope we have encouraged you throughout this challenge to come up with your own piece of handiwork. Be sure to go and visit these talented ladies so you can see just how their projects tie in to the twist.
 
Why not join us, if you haven't entered already? Create a project and/or post that is positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some nature and join our link up. How about stretching yourself by also opting to follow the twist?! While it isn't mandatory, we'd also love to find out how this month's twist affects your own life. What do you do to usher in some QUIET TIME? Do you engage in the practice of MEDITATION? There are so many different forms of meditation--even going for a walk can be meditative in nature. While it can be difficult to find the time to just sit and be still, or engage in meditative practices, it has been proven to be beneficial to our health to do so. If you'd like to tell us what types of MEDITATION you practice or the ways that you usher in QUIET TIME into your own life, we'd love to hear it. You can write a sentence or two in the body of your post, write a sentence at the bottom of your post next to the link up for this challenge, or simply leave a comment on this post if you'd like.

Also, I know that the participants would love for you to go and pay them a visit. Remember we're creating a Path of Positivity to follow one project at a time and we'd love to see you somewhere on that route even if it is just by leaving a comment on an entry from someone who has touched you somehow with their project and/or post! You can find our list of participants and enter our latest challenge yourself by clicking HERE and scrolling down to the bottom of the post.
