May 7 - Treat Yourself

Hopefully, you have a few new journal entries in your summer journal and you have found time to truly reflect on your life and the things that make you happy.

The challenge today is simple!

Yes, you heard right!  Have a cupcake, go for a manicure, take a bubble bath, pop some popcorn, get a massage, go to a matinee, take a nap!  Buy yourself a special gift; jewelry, shoes, a new bag, music, etc.

"Why?", may you ask.  Let me explain, every time I reflect on my life, I tend to scrutinize the decisions I have made.  I wonder if I am headed down the right path, if I am making the right choices, if I am doing the best that I can.  Simply, too much time reflecting on one's life can be exhausting and can leave you feeling a little down in the dumps.  

WELL, cheer yourself up and don't allow yourself to regret past decisions.  The point of this is to move forward with a strong understanding of where you are and where you want to go.  So, treat yourself to something special today.  In fact, if you are on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook...take a picture of it and tag your picture with #LMLP so we can see how you chose to treat yourself.  :)

Day 2 - Treat Yourself

It's a Monday, which means for most of you, it's time to return to school or work.  After a nice weekend, a Monday can be slightly depressing.  Not this Monday though, oh no!  Because the challenge today is to Treat Yourself!  Maybe for you it's a cupcake, ice cream, or rice krispie treats.  Maybe it's homemade or store bought.  Whatever it may be, make it a special moment with someone fun!  If you are in the area and would like to join us for a treat, we'll be at Yogurtland in Orem at 6:30 pm.  For the rest of you, email us a pic of your special treat at livemylifeproject@yahoo.com.
