February Start a New Habit!!!!!
It takes 21-30 times for something to become a habit so if we start one thing a month it should be a habit by the end of the month and we can do another the next month!
Help each other out! Make your habit realistic, ie not "I will clean my whole house everyday." (unless you could do that!!!! ) Feel free to join in! So far: Living My Dream: Do at least SOME of the dishes everyday Knitlove: Laundry KLPmommy: Read with the children every day not including H/S or B/T Erinee: 1Thessa5:17: Read a chapter of Proverbs a day Monkeylicious: Read the bible and connect with the kids Filmgirl2911: Starting the day with a special prayer to focus on NOT WORRYING! Katydid: Noodlemom: Slowly introduce peanut butter into diet, every 3 days or so Greenjellysnakes: Doing the dishes before bed to wake up to a nice clean kitchen Happygrl: Clear the computer desk Shnooky: Do the dishes after every meal Anjelika: Getting up on time Hey Mommy: Do the dishes after dinner Viola Mum: Fold and put away laundry, not leave it sitting annettemarie: Get up at 6:30am to make the day run smoother BlueSavannah: Keep a track of the finances TrustingGod2: Daily devotions LadybugSam: Make sure that the dishes are done so there isn't a load (or more) of dirty dishes waiting in the kitchen in the morning Mamapepper: To relax! Keira: Do laundry straight away saturnfire16: Do some yoga each day

Re: February Start a New Habit!!!!!
Mine will be to do the dishes every night before bed. I love getting up in the morning to a clean kitchen and an empty sink

Re: February Start a New Habit!!!!!
I'm going to go with something more attitude-related versus a physical action / chore
I'd like to start each day with a short, simple prayer that will help me focus in a positive direction daily (and I will repeat it throughout the day whenever my thoughts / attitude begin sliding into pity party mode ) My prayer: "LORD, I give this day to you. Today, fill me with your Spirit so that there is more of you and less of me. Help me keep my eyes on Jesus and not on the swelling waves of circumstances, which change constantly. Remind me to be thankful in all things and to trust you more and worry less as your Word says. And at the end of this day, no matter how well or poorly I've done these things, may I rest in your arms and be renewed in the hope of your mercy and grace."

Re: February Start a New Habit!!!!!
I would love to do this, too. These are all great ideas.
hmmmmm. Fold and put away the laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer. No leaving it in the basket.

Re: February Start a New Habit!!!!!
I picked one. I need to read to the kids every day at a time other than HS or bedtime.

Re: February Start a New Habit!!!!!
I'd really like to be out of bed by 6:30. I tried 5:30, and it just made me crabby. 6 seems really early too, but I used to do it. Lately though, we all roll of bed around 7:30, and it just isn't working.
