March Progress Report:-
March was a tough month so I kept the monthly mission simple - look in the mirror and say out loud 21 times during the month "I am amazing, brave, strong and wonderful." "I can and will get through this".

I was feeling a bit despondent this month as I can't do much towards the majority of my list due to current restrictions so I've changed, removed and added new ideas after reading the 20 20s in 2020 thread. New ideas include say YES/NO 21 times, walk along 21 different streets and wear 21 things that haven't been worn in a while.
