30 Days to your best body ever

Week 2

Day 8: Take a nature day. Look at the sky, notice the trees, smell the flowers. Take off your shoes -- walk through the grass and feel the earth under your feet. Enjoy the sunshine, or the rain.

Day 9: Write a letter. Write all of those postcards, letters and thank-you notes on your to-do list.

Day 10: Reconnect. Call your best friends from high school or college and catch up.

Day 11: Recognize good qualities. Make a list of the top 10 people you respect. Write the qualities you admire in each of them, beginning the sentence with "I admire ____ because _____ ."

Day 12: Recognize your worth. Take your list from Day 11 and face yourself in the mirror, looking deeply into your eyes, and read the list to yourself. You can only recognize something good in someone else if you possess that quality yourself -- even if it's just a little.

Day 13: Diet no more. Get rid of those weight-loss books and magazines! Focus on pleasurable, healthy, balanced eating.

Day 14: Put on your favorite outfit -- proudly wear what you want to wear, not what you think you should wear.
