Happy Halloween-Trick or Treat?!

Happy Halloween!
  We hope you are enjoying your spooktacular day! Halloween is all about family, fun, and special treats in our house! As I was preparing for this year's festivities I was thinking about what I could do for myself, as well as, having a teachable moment for my kiddo. I wanted to pass along my thought for today-treat yourself!
Halloween is about trick or treats right? We often think of that meaning something scary or sweet. What if you think about it in your athletic mindset. Have you been focusing on accomplishing a specific goal, perhaps learning a new TRICK? Well, today would be a perfect day to get after it and work on that trick! Wouldn't it be quite a treat if you accomplished that goal today?
We were also thinking about another way to TREAT yourself. Find a way to have some "me" time, or do something special that you keep putting off (i.e. read a book, get a massage, have date night, fancy haircut, shopping etc.). Treating yourself is important! We all need to have self care and focus on our self. Today is the perfect day to change the way you think about Trick or Treats! But of course we aren't saying not to have some spooky scary movie nights with some candy, after all it is Halloween!
