Hello everyone!
I got to thinking the other day -admittedly, sometime around six in the morning- and I thought, Perhaps people would see the world a bit differently if they watched the sunrise. At least once. I mean, it's a beautiful thing! To see the sky illuminate with colors and bring life into a silent world, it's a wondrous thing to witness.
If you've already watched the sunrise, that's very good! I'm glad you had that experience!
But I'd like to spread around something different.
And as the title states, I'd like to start a challenge for everyone!
-Bela's Sleepless Challenge-
The first step to this challenge is to stay awake all night. Now, I'm sure many of you do this already (you rebels) but this is going to have a twist to it! You are not allowed to be on any type of social media. Example- Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat, Vine, YouTube, Kik, nothing! I don't want you to be doing anything negative during this time.
During all of this time that you're awake, I want you to reflect upon yourself. POSITIVE THINGS! Think about how amazing it is that you've come so far in life. Whether you're Forty years of age or Five, you've struggled in some way, and yet you fought through it to become the person you are today! I know at some point you may have felt like giving up, but you didn't! And you're alive and well today, and that is an amazing accomplishment
Now about an hour before the sun rises (Ex: For me the sun rises around six, so I would do this step at around five) go outside and find yourself a comfortable spot. In can be on your porch or laying on the grass, even just laying out a chair and sitting in it would be fine! And simply watch the sun rise, and watch the Earth burst into brilliant colors! During this time, you need to focus on the beauty of everything around you. You've been given a gift to be able to live and breath and walk, or have working thumbs! You'll watch as the birds come out and begin singing, and watch the sky be painted with a numerous assortment of colors. Focus on life, and how amazing it is that you've made it this far!
And finally, when the sun has fully risen and the birds are out to wake everyone up, then you can crawl into your comfortable bed and fall asleep with all those wonderful positive thoughts in mind. And yes, you can get on your social media after this point.
I know it may not seem like such an extravagant challenge, but you'd be surprised how hard it is to keep those bad thoughts away at 3 AM.
Anyway, if you do decide to complete this challenge, any time at all, comment on this journal and tell me of you experience! Did it make you feel good about yourself? What exactly did you think of? How you overcame that one big thing in life that you though you'd never be able to get past? Was it absolute torture to be away from your phone, computer, or tablet for such a long period of time? Let me know what happened!
I hope some of you decide to do this challenge!
Thanks For Reading!

I hope I can stay awake… I'm a very heavy sleeper. XDD
And I have actually saw the sunset before! It was beautiful indeed, and the best part is that I watched the sunset with my whole family.
