Whether you observe Lent for religious reasons or not, this 40 day cleanse is a great opportunity to focus on a short term goal. Go back to your New Year’s resolutions and choose something from the list; this time, instead of taking on the daunting task of making a change to last the whole year, focus on the next 40 days. If you’d like to create a new goal, make sure it’s S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely)
Instead of focusing on what you’re giving up for Lent, focus on the positive or what you’ll gain…
No alcohol = Add an additional $x to savings per week / Get at least 8 hours of quality sleep 7 nights per week
No soft drinks = Drink 8 glasses of water, 5 days per week.
No red meat = Research vegetarian meals and make at least 2 per week
No cursing = Think and speak positively / write in my gratitude journal at least 3 day per week.
No junk food = Eat at least 3 servings of fruits or vegetables each day
Watch less TV = Make a list of books I’d like to read and complete at least one novel from the list.
Sit less throughout the day = Take a Thermal Walk™ at least 5 times per week
So the 40 day challenge is officially on! Feel free to share your goal in the comments section of this post!
