Today’s Challenge:

Take responsibility for your own happiness and success, recognizing that you have the power to create the life you desire.

Today, challenge yourself to do something to make yourself feel good and happy. You don’t need someone else’s validation or permission to feel good about yourself. Instead, find those feelings within yourself–doing so will increase your abundance mindset.

My Comments: We worked hard yesterday forgiving ourselves and others for past wrongs. Today we’re rewarding ourselves with some positive juju. You have the power to create your own happiness and success. By taking responsibility for your life, you acknowledge that you are in control of your destiny. Today, take an action that brings you joy and moves you closer to your goals. Remember, your happiness and success are in your hands. Focus on your strengths and positive qualities. Celebrate you! Write those things down in your journal/notebook so you can look back and remind yourself on days when you need to.

Suggested Actions:

1. Set Personal Goals: Define what happiness and success mean to you and set clear, actionable goals to achieve them.
2. Create a Happiness Routine: Incorporate activities that make you happy into your daily routine, ensuring you prioritize your well-being.
3. Reflect on Achievements: Regularly reflect on your accomplishments and how they contribute to your overall happiness and success.

Extra Credit:

Engage in acts of self-love and self-care, nurturing your inner well-being and reinforcing a positive mindset.

Spend some time today enjoying some self-love. Be good to yourself. Treating yourself well with self-love and self-care is a great way to remind yourself of the wonderful abundance you have.

My Comments: This is one of my absolute favorite challenges! My suggestion to you is that you make a list of acts of self-love and self-care that you can do so you’re never at a loss when time opens up in your schedule or when you simply need a little self-esteem boost. Then choose an item (or two) from your list and DO IT!

While scheduling a spa day or a weekend at a hotel is great, spoiling yourself doesn’t have to be expensive. When I was newly married, I felt broke all the time. The responsibility of financial independence was hard to get used to. But after a while I decided that if I did something small but luxurious, I would feel more prosperous–and it worked! I would treat myself to a particular bath soap that smelled SO good, but it cost about 3 times as much as our regular soap! I felt really special every time I showered because of that little luxury. Over the years I’ve treated myself to other things, some little (like treating myself to a special cup of tea) and some big (like 2 weeks in Europe), but treating myself to those special things reminds me that I am worthy and that I deserve to spoil myself when I can.

So think of something you can do or buy for yourself that will make you feel special and loved.

Suggested Actions:
1. Indulge in a Favorite Activity: Spend time doing something you love and that makes you feel good about yourself.
2. Create a Self-Care Routine: Develop a regular self-care routine that includes activities that nurture your mind, body, and spirit.
3. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself, especially when things don’t go as planned. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer a friend.
