Love your Life Week

April 21st - April 28th

Remember to keep up with Love your Life week! Here's the schedule as a reminder:

Thursday: Welcome!
Come to the meeting and learn about happiness in daily living. Then get ready to take the Love Your Life challenge by applying what you've learned over the next 8 days.

Friday: Define Beauty.
Define beauty, real true beauty, and what it means to you. List 20 things that you LOVE about you. Be sure to include the many sides of you! i.e. Physically, emotionally, socially, in school, with friends, attributes as a sibling, etc.

Saturday: Break time.
Spend time doing something you really like to do. Enjoy being outside, go for a walk, chat with a friend, get a massage, or read a book. The possibilities are endless! Take the time to realize you are enjoying yourself in that moment, and not just after the fact.

Sunday: Inside Out.
Spend as much time on the inside as you do on the outside. Find something you want to improve on and make a goal. Reconcile yourself with someone distant, refrain from judging others, or strive to see the waterline of life's cup just a little fuller. Maybe you want to set a goal to be kinder, nicer, and a little more compassionate. Whatever it may be, set your mark and go for it. You can do anything you put your mind to - remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. If it's not easy the first time, it's only going to get better.

Monday: Simple Kindness Day.
Smile, and perform 3 acts of kindness today. You could send a nice note to a friend, or help your mom cook dinner. Maybe there is a person who just needs your friendly hello. You could thank your bus driver for the ride and pick up your neighbor's newspaper on the walk home. There are countless ways to show a little extra kindness every day.

Tuesday: Media Awareness Day.
Look at media, really look at it. What are they trying to sell you? What image is being portrayed? Are you comparing yourself to the image? Nearly ALL media is photo-shopped and edited, it isn't real! also, how is the media affecting your mood? Is it cheering you up or depressing you? Be aware of this and choose not to let the media negatively affect your mood, sense of self image, or worth.

Wednesday: Love your Day.
List 15 things you LOVED about your day! this definitely does not have to be anything big. What people are you grateful for in your life? Did you have something super tasty for lunch? Maybe the Physics test you were stressing out over got cancelled, or the weather was nice, or you finally managed to wake up on time.

Thursday: Power Statements.
Come to GIRLS club meeting and we'll write a power statement! At the meeting, share what you have learned throughout the week, and learn how to keep applying the things you've learned and happiness in daily living.
