Self-Esteem Awareness Month: Breezing Through A Belated August 7 and Taking August 8 Off

So this is August 7:

August 7th – Now that we’re feeling good & positive lets back those feelings up with some knowledge! Think about one health-related question you’ve always wondered about and do some fact finding. For instance: what BMI is/isn’t good for, what a “healthy weight” really entails, etc. I’ll be posting some excellent resources for research on August 6th!

I don't really have any pressing health-related questions. The only ones I've had of late I've managed to find answers to online (like when I was having weird cramps and I Googled to see if I might be getting ovarian cysts...don't worry, the pain stopped).

Since I'm so far behind on these tasks, I'm going to breeze right on past this one. I don't know if anyone is actually reading this, but if you have any questions of this nature, I am most likely not the person to answer them. You're welcome to post them, but I don't know how much help I'd be able to offer.

The task for the 8th is this:
August 8th – Take a day off [from doing these activities] to process the first seven days of your journey. Write about your experience, whatever it may be, and continue doing health research if you do desire.
(also, someone posted in the comments on the site that saying simply to take August 8 of was "classist." Really, like this author was actually suggesting you shirk all responsibilities in the name of Self-Esteem Awareness Month)
