Each week, I will give you step by step instructions on how to get into a swimsuit this summer. If you’re short on time, scroll down to the end and read “The Short Version” to get your weekly tips.

Last week’s job was to buy a swimming suit. Did you do it? There’s still time to get into that swim suit by summer, but you need to act now. If you didn’t buy your suit and lovely sarong last week, get to the store TODAY and buy one now and then proceed with this week’s task.

If you did buy a swimming suit, the first thing you need to do is give yourself kudos. Good job for taking that first step to feeling like a goddess this summer.

This week’s challenge is simple. Wear your swim suit around the house for a total of seven hours. Now, you can do this however you want. If you want to come home from work each night and wear it for an hour, you can. If you want to wear it for seven hours in one sitting, that’s fine. However you want to do it is fine with me.

Personally, I think the best thing to do is wear it for an hour each night. That slowly eases you into the idea of wearing your swim suit.

Note that no one needs to see you wearing your suit. No family, friends or lovers need to glimpse you wearing it. You can put it on, lock yourself in the closet reading a book for an hour if you want. You don’t need to leave your room or bathroom.

You DO have to be conscious, however. Wearing your swimming suit to bed really won’t do the trick unless you like to lounge around in your P.J.s for an hour before you go to bed.

That’s all you have to do. Wear your suit for a total of seven hours this week. Have fun and see you next week!

The Short Version:

• Give yourself kudos for buying a swim suit last week.

• Wear your swimming suit around the house for a total of seven hours this week. Recommended: Wear for an hour each day this week.

• No one needs to see you. You can lock yourself in the closet, your bedroom or even the bathroom as long as you wear your suit for the allotted time.
