"Lent is the period of forty days which comes before Easter in the Christian/Catholic calendar; traditionally a time of fasting and reflection. By observing the 40 days of Lent, many choose to replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice of going into the desert for 40 days and make sacrifices of their own for 40 days." -BBC
Do you take part in Lent?
Will you be giving up or doing differently for Lent this year? What is it and Why?
If you don't take part in Lent, what would you choose to do for 40 days to help improve yourself, if anything?
I personally believe that anyone is welcome to take part in the teachings of what Lent represents and you don't need to be religious to use it as an example. To me, it's sorta like a new years resolution :3
Last year I gave up chocolate and coffee- which were my two main indulgences- to help me be a bit healthier and for me to realize how much I have previously being able to indulge in those two things every day. This year, instead of giving something up, I'm deciding to take more care of myself in the mornings- sleeping more hours, taking more time to lay out my outfits, and dressing nicer, to try and give more worth to myself, more confidence, and putting value on my mental health by trying to feel good inside AND out. I often throw on any ol' shirt and jeans and head into work, and although I may not look totally shlumpy, by doing so, sometimes I feel shlumpy, and I think with a bit more care to how I present myself I will feel more put together. Doing this will hopefully make me a more assertive person.
