Today is the first day of a brand new month. On the first day of each new month, I plan out any holidays I think I might want in the month. I suggest asking yourself the following questions.

1. Am I going on vacation or out of town this month? If so, and you would like to take those days as holidays, please mark them on the calendar.
2. Are there any birthdays, anniversaries, or actual holidays in this month? If so, and you would like to take those as holidays, please mark them on the calendar.
3. Are there any work activities or other events, that involve food, in which I might want to participate?

Once you have marked these days on your calendar, you may have to mark some off to keep your 6.

Of course you can change these holidays around if you need, but this planning helps you have a mental plan for your perfect days.

A few other strategies I like to use are as follows:
~ Don't holiday at breakfast on a chosen holiday unless the event for which I want the holiday is a breakfast. I do this because if the event that I was planning on having a holiday for gets canceled or the food at the event for which I was planning a holiday is not holiday worthy, I can just have a perfect day if I have not holidayed at breakfast.
~ If I am planning a holiday for a luncheon or event, I always take a meal replacement with me in case the food is not holiday worthy.
~ Don't holiday all day on a day where I have scheduled holiday for an evening event. I have done that before and then the food at the event was not holiday worthy. Boy, was I bummed. I could have used that holiday on a better day.
~ It's also a good idea to leave a free day in case you have an accidental holiday while learning the lifestyle or just decide to have a random one.

Once all of your holidays are gone for the month, have perfect days. Live within the guidelines of the lifestyle for the best results.

I would love for you to comment below if this blog post has helped you at all.
