One Habit a Month: Join now - encourage each other!

Living My Dream · 01-31-2009, 04:08 PM

I saw this done on another forum and thought we could start it.

It takes like 30 days??? for a habit to sink in.... So... one habit to start for a month...

Anyone in?

What shall we start with? Putting keys and wallet in the same place everytime you get in? do we need a messies habit and a tidies habit?

Ia m up for this. I have a couple of big things that Ia m trying to change right now but the one on the top is laundry. I figure that I need a few of months of good laundry habits to be ingrained before I add in diapers.

I'll play, just not sure what I want to make my new habit.

I think I might need some thing like this moor, but it didn't occur to me

You could always change, or do it in March...

I love all these games ya'll play. Wish In could join in. My life is so determined by my illness that just gettin out a bed and eatin something is about all I can handle. I cant do laundry anymore or the dishes either. I feel frustrated....guess all this is meant for another post tho.

Habits can also be a way of thinking / looking at the world, so I think your post is as relevant here as the physical habits people want to work on. I know for me, I want to work on my way of thinking (which is why I started and continue the 365 reasons why I love my husband thread

). And i like the post one here about reading a chapter of Proverbs each day.
