I challenge you to:
- Remind yourself of something you appreciate about you. (Compliment Your Mirror Day, 3)
- Forgive someone you’ve been holding a grudge against. (Forgiveness Day, 7)
- Laugh about something that goes all wrong. (SCUD Day – “Savor the Comic, Unplug the Drama,” 8)
- Enjoy the day, just as it is. (Toss the “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day, 16) (Are you seeing a theme here? lol)
- Hug your children! (Hug Your Kid Day, 18)
- Do something special to honor your parents, and/or write them a thank-you note for raising you. (Parents’ Day, 24)
- Talk to a stranger or acquaintance you encounter in public. (Talk in an Elevator Day, 29)
- Sit and enjoy the sunset with your hubby. (Share a Sunset with Your Lover Month)
- Publish a zine. (Zine Month) (Anyone want to collaborate on one? Sounds like a fun project!)
If they are on your list, this might be a good month to focus on these goals:
I didn’t see any holidays this month that lend themselves to common goals. I would suggest, therefore, focusing on any of your goals that are related to appreciating yourself and/or restoring relationships (see the holidays listed above), or about having more fun/enjoying life. In other words, less “productivity”-type goals.
Have you ever made a zine before? It’s lots of fun! If I didn’t have a newborn I’d collaborate.
I have not! It sounds like fun. But my interests are so all over the map I don’t even know what to put in!
