5th Feb – National Doodle Day: 

Have you ever actually sat down and coloured in an image? It is so relaxing, you are spending your time focusing on this one thing, there are no other thoughts going through your head because you are concentrating on the picture. Colouring in is a stress free activity.

Everyone loves a bubble bath – but did you know that there are a lot of health benefits from taking a bath?? Having a bath can Boost your brain power, having a relaxing bath with essential oils can do wonders for your body and mind.

Normally for lent you have to give something up, but we are going to flip it about a little bit and for this challenge you have to take something up, like a hobby, some exercise, we want you to do something at least twice a week that is going to make you happy, here are some examples below:

• Walking – Relieves stress, keeps you active and it will help with your weight loss.
• Socialising – Go and meet some friends for coffee, because you are dieting doesn’t mean you have to hide away until you are at goal. You can still enjoy yourself.
• Start a journal – Document how your weight loss journey is going, how you are feeling, take pictures and save them so that you can look back on them.
• Drink More water – The more you drink the more you shrink 🙂
• Exercising – Take up a light exercise, go for a swim, go to the gym, start yoga or go to the play park with your kids or pets,  anything at all that gets you on the move.
• It can be anything at all just as long as it makes you happy!

14th Feb – St Valentines Day: 

Whether or not you have a partner, husband or wife you should also spend the time on loving yourself! You are the most important person on this journey, yes you may be doing this to be more active for your family but how you feel is going to affect them more. Do you want to be the best you can be?? Of course you do!! Then this is the best time to start focusing on you!! Love is everywhere but self love is so important, it make you out to be the person that you are today. If you love your body, you will be more confident, more out going, you will also take care of it and stay in shape, now is the time to change how you feel about yourself. Put yourself first <3

17th Feb – Random Act of Kindness Day 

This is the most AMAZING day EVER! When you help others you actually help yourself, it gives you a sense of pride. There are so many benefits to helping other that in turn help yourself:

• It increases happiness
• It makes you feel generous
• It makes you feel needed and effective
• It makes you feel connected to others

There are so many ways to help a person:

• If someone is feeling down or having a bad day, give them a call or send a wee message.
• Help someone cross the road
• Smile at someone walking past you
• Be a volunteer
• Make someone a cup of tea
• Lt someone out in traffic
• Give a compliment

Anything at all even if it is small thing to you it could be a big thing for someone else.

19th Feb – Pamper Yourself:

Do you ever actually treat yourself to a little pamper session? Getting pampered by someone is so relaxing, go and get your nails done and let someone else make your hands look pretty. If you don’t have time to go to a beauticians then do it yourself, get a face-mask on and get a hot steamy bath with some candles light and some relaxing music, all your stress will disappear, when you are out of the bath apply moisturising cream because when you are loosing weight this helps to keep the skin in shape. Do your nails and make yourself feel good. Getting pampered is a feel good thing to do. Go on try it 😛

22nd Feb – Buy Yourself Something Nice: 

When was the last time you bought your self some clothes that you felt comfortable in? When was the last time you bought something that made you happy? I cant remember the last time I did and it is a bad thing, you need to reward yourself with things that are going to make you happy and help you in one way shape or form. Go and buy yourself something that will make you smile from ear to ear 😀 Even buy an outfit that your think is gorgeous and get it in the size that you want to be and that will give you the determination and happiness that you need because you are working towards your goal 🙂
