Week 4
Day 22: Get a massage. Practice being in the moment during the entire session, focusing on the sensations as your body -- and mind -- relax.
Day 23: Go dancing. Move your body in ways you don't normally. Be willing to look silly.
Day 24: Cut your hair. Get that 'do you've always wanted.
Day 25: Eat consciously. Stop counting calories and tune in to your hunger to determine if it's emotional or physical.
Day 26: Show off your favorite part of your body. Love your feet? Get a pedicure and wear sandals. Have great legs? Wear that short skirt.
Day 27: Stay in your pajamas all day. If you can't go to work in your PJs, plan this for a weekend.
Day 28: Write an ode to your body. Love your body and don't be afraid to praise it.
Day 29: Watch your favorite movie -- one that makes you feel good about the world or that makes you laugh out loud.
Day 30: Accept joy every day. Know that you won't do it perfectly but be willing to honor your commitment to yourself.
