Whoa, there, Bubble...you don't want to go off the deep end. Food, drink, sure, fasting is good for you. But rethink the Xanax...for all of our sakes. ;-)
While I’m not actually “giving up for Lent” as I’m not entirely clear on when it starts and ends, some suggestions out there this year were compelling: -Beating yourself up for not being perfect -Holding yourself to standards you wouldn’t hold others to -Being in the presence of people who are not good for your physical or mental health -Making excuses for not doing that thing you want to do -Taking anonymous criticism to heart
Those sound pretty good to give up, and no time like the present to try it out.
I am going to try and do more things I put off doing around the house. Clean out closets and the basement, fix things I put off, etc...So I guess I am going to give up being lazy? I also need to make appointments for doctors and dentists that I keep putting off. Ugh!
