February Start a New Habit!!!!! - Page 4

YAY knitlove and klpmommy

I did ignore the dishes for awhile today and while the boys were playing nicely (which hardly EVER happens) I put aside all of the things that I NEEDED to do with the house and I just laid on the couch and enjoyed watching the boys play together. . . I honestly don't think I've EVER done that before!!! It was really nice and frankly, I've been a MUCH nicer and more tolerant mommy today!

Ok so, mine is to fold and put away laundry right after it comes out of the dryer.

I don't really see that I need an "excuse" to relax. . . I need to relax to survive. . . Would you like me to tell you why?

I'm guessing it's b/c you are lucky enough to have 2 young kids & be pg again.. THAT is the excuse I wish I had.

Janice, I'm PMing you.

I have about 10 new habits that I've been trying to form. I think that's my problem- I want to change everything at once and then end up not changing anything. Ok, so now I have to decide on one.... hhhhhmmmm.

I think I'll go with yoga. I need to do yoga every day, even if it's just a short work out.

OOOohhhh, That's a REALLY good one!!! I wish that I would have done that this whole pregnancy, but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get in OR out of any poses now. . . Maybe the tree pose

Maybe I should use Pose of a Child for my relaxation every day and then I'd be doing BOTH yoga AND relaxing!!!

I'm totally psyched for you on this one!!!

okay - so how is everybody doing with their new habit?

it's been several days since this thread popped up on the New Posts so I thought I'd get it back up there and encourage everyone to keep going

As for me - the worrying is still there, but I am doing my prayer focus in the morning and through the day - it seems to be helping me worry a little less (and that seems to also be having a positive impact on our circumstances - we are able to make more traction when we are not fretting but acting

)

Anyone else have an update

knitlove · 02-12-2009, 10:37 AM

I am doing ok. I need to fold yesterday's cloths but I am still on top of the laundry.

hey mommy · 02-12-2009, 01:31 PM

I haven't been doing well this week. I only did dishes once after dinner. I need to empty the dishwasher & fill it up again.

LadybugSam · 02-12-2009, 01:53 PM

I haven't been doing so well

I've been keeping up with the dishes better, but they're usually at least a partial load waiting for me in the morning. Grrrrrr.

klpmommy · 02-13-2009, 02:20 PM

My dad is here this week, so the kids are enjoying playing with him & I am enjoying as much peace as I can muster.
