Daily Challenge - October 19, 2010 Go to breakfast, lunch, dinner or coffee with a friend today. While together, make an effort to tell each other something that you appreciate about the other that has nothing to do with the way you look. Ensure that the time you spend together does not include talking about weight, appearance, your size or the size of others.
Alternative Challenge
Engage your senses and make today about the simple pleasures of life. Savor your morning coffee and listen to your favorite music. Take time to enjoy art or the look of nature around you. Put a picture of beautiful scenery on your screen saver. Light scented candles. Wear clothes that feel really comfortable. Play with your cat or dog. At the end of the day, use your gratitude journal to make a list of the experiences to help you remember that your body is for living in - not just looking at.
That was my challenge for today. I wasn't lucky enough to have enough time to go out with a friend, but I did get to spend some quality time with my mom! Together we went to a class about how sugar affects the human body, and all the ways it can do damage to your body. We learned healthy alternatives to keep sugar out of the body and live a longer life. Now if that isn't bonding time then I don't know what is! There was a lot of positivity involved, especially when speaking to the doctor after the class was over. My mom's been doing so great lately with clean eating habits and I'm so proud of her for taking control for her nutrition. ...and as a bonus, I also wore comfy clothes to work today :) Hehe.
Gratitude moment of the day: being able to lift the heavy boxes in my office that my coworkers were not. So grateful for the willpower to strengthen my body and live a STRONG life.
