What if there was an award for every small little thing that you did today? It’s so small that no one recognizes it but you know how satisfying it is, so why don’t you give yourself an award?

1. A medal for hitting that HIIT class…eventually.

Kevin Valente

 

Got a 6 a.m. alarm? Nope. 7 a.m.? Snooze central. 8 a.m.? Oops, didn’t hear it go off. But at 9 a.m., you are ready to SWEAT.

 

2. First place for not missing that same freakin’ spot you always miss when you’re shaving.

Kevin Valente

 

Does anyone want to feel this perfectly smooth ankle crevice?

 

3. An award for not ordering takeout OR eating cereal for dinner.

Kevin Valente

 

You put some chicken in a pan and some broccoli in the oven with plenty of EVOO, salt, and pepper, and tbh it was so tasty you didn’t even need to douse it in hot sauce. ?

4. A plaque for actually hanging some artwork on your dang walls.

Kevin Valente

Artwork = prints you’ve had since college that may or may not involve frames.

 

5. A blue ribbon for ironing your shirt before walking out the door.

Kevin Valente

 

And a mighty good job you did for having to use your ~8 inches of counter space as an ironing board.

 

6. A gold cup for managing to keep your houseplant alive for three entire months.

Kevin Valente

She? is ? thriving ?.

 

7. And a championship ring for not breaking into a cold sweat when calling to make a doctor’s appointment.

And only calling your mom once to try to convince her to make the appointment for you.
