Day 31: Discipline Yourself to Celebrate (Joyce Meyer, Eat the Cookie...)

    This book has been an inspiration to lighten up and enjoy life much more.  Life has it's challenges and we must celebrate our progress and accomplishments along the way, regardless of how small they are.  Life doesn't need to be so intense.  It should be pleasurable.  When we discipline ourselves to celebrate then the harder things in life won't be so difficult.  In other words, celebrate so much that it outweighs any hardship.  Therefore, overshadowing the hard times.

1.   Make room for something that you enjoy everyday.  Today, I took myself out for sushi because I was celebrating the day.  It felt great.

2.  Reward yourself for progress.  I'm trying to cut out meat from my diet for 6 of the 7 days of the week.  After the 6 days I will reward myself with a yummy hamburger.

3.  Balance your discipline.  I like to go out and have fun but I also work hard.  I usually make sure to put in my 40 hours at work and then leave so I can have balance in my life.

Stay tuned for Debbie Ford whom is an inspirational self-help guru.  She helps people to discover their not so good side and to embrace it for good.
