Giving up something for lent?
Many people, religious or not, give up something for lent. They use it as a time for reflection and controlling desires and addictions that they struggle with. Whatever your disposition, it's not a bad idea to use this time, when many colleagues and friends are doing the same, to challenge yourself to give up something that is not beneficial to your health. In other words, there's no better time to go on a diet, give up junk food, chocolate, alcohol, meat, swearing, fizzy drinks, coffee, etc!
The benefit of doing this now along with others are:
1. Support and Accountability: It is likely others are also giving up something for lent so you will have a support network as well as accountability to friends, family and
colleagues at work
2. Lose Weight and Get Healthy: It is a good build up to spring where, if you've decided to give up something fattening, you will have lost a few inches by the time spring is fully here!
3. Give yourself a good detox: Think how clean and clear your system will be after six weeks, sugar free or junk food/alcohol (or whatever you're giving up) free you'll be. Even if it's swearing you're giving up you will feel clear mentally and spiritually as you unblock your pipes from bad and negative connotations
4. More Time: If you're giving up something like Facebook or TV for lent you will have more time on your hands to do other things!
5. Break Bad habits: They say it takes about one month to break a habit or form a new one. Well after six weeks (40 days) you will certainly have broken the habit and hopefully formed a new one!
