But I'm Atheist...

You don't have to be Catholic to celebrate your own make-shift "Lent"! I'm not extremely religious, yet I utilize the concept of Lent to improve myself. You can give something up or promise to do something every day for 40 days. It seems like a challenge, but it's a challenge countless people successfully conquer. Here are some ideas:

1. No candy! That basket at meetings is sooo incredibly tempting to take freely from while your boss drones on, but try not to eat any for 40 days and you might just kick the habit for good!
2. No __insert tempting, but unhealthy food(s) here__. You might lose weight or just feel plain healthier. Being strong in a tough situation makes anyone feel good about themselves.
3. Workout more!
   
4. Take the stairs when possible!
5. Park far away!
6. More veggies!
7. Work on reducing stress! (hello forty days of required "me time")
8. Be more positive!
9. No procrastinating!
10. No fast food! :O

If you do choose to "celebrate" Lent or your own Lenty type thing, good luck!!
