Tuesday's Challenge: Fast

Today's challenge is two part.  Part one: Fast is from commercialism.  No unnecessary shopping today. 

Think of all those who are influenced by what they see on commercials and what they see others wearing and doing.  Those who feel that they need to buy a certain brand, look a certain way or dress in a fashion to feel that they will be accepted and liked. 

Or what about the people who use buying as therapy, as a way to try and make themselves feel more important, to heal pain or to distract themselves from problems or pain in their lives. 

Think also about those who's possessions have become like a god to them.  They care more about what they own then who they are or those around them that need them. 

There are also those who can never get rid of anything.  They hold on to their possessions as if their identity is somehow wrapped up in what they own.  They hide behind the clutter and stuff in order to keep from dealing with life.

Do you see yourself in any of those people?

The second part of the challenge: Give something away.  Or even more than one something.  It could be a box of unused items to Goodwill....or some clothes that no longer fit to someone who can use them.  There are always people who can use what you don't need anymore.  As Flylady says, use your stuff to bless someone else!

Have a great day!
