Default 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

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

i'm going to try for two this month. read the Bible daily (should be doing this with the Bible study i'm attending - but have been trying to cram it in the last couple days before class instead) and do something intentional with my kids daily - maybe call this one connect with kids daily

Default 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."

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.

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.
