Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate.

I wasn’t even sure where to start at first. Then I had an idea. My manager loves to send an email every Friday with that day’s Holidays. So I decided to check. Just a few words to see what wouldn’t come up so I could build something up.

So, after a few minutes of this, I landed on “Cheat on your diet day” because I know that there are some people out there who struggle to accept that it’s okay to have that treat once in a while. And all you would have to do to celebrate is skip the salad, the boring, unseasoned chicken and rice, and pick up a cheeseburger or a brownie or something. There’s nothing wrong with having a break from routine to enjoy life a little bit. Celebrating it is not mandatory, and for people who struggle with falling off the wagon then it is 100% okay if you skip it.

For those of you that don’t like the above holiday I did come up with an alternative.

“Recognize/Celebrate a Streak Day” where you recognize something you’re having a consistent streak of progress. For example, Snapchat (which I don’t frequently use) has streaks of daily snaps with your friends. Or in my case, I could celebrate my streak on Duolingo. Today is 215 days in a row! Get the idea now? Celebrate your consistency and wins. Easy.
