I have heard it say, we are “creatures of habit” . Many of the things we do are habits we have formed in our lives – some are good and some are bad. I have read somewhere that if you do something everyday for 21 days you can change a habit.
It works….. I have done it…. Formed a new habit…. Years ago….. to test the theory out…. I made my bed everyday….I can’t not leave the bedroom now with having the bed made.
I have been writing this blog now for 22 days ….. in a row…..Have I developed a new habit? I think so….. I am struggling a little this morning as to what to write….. I want to say….maybe skip today but something draws me to the keyboard. I am tired this morning for some reason….more than usual….maybe it is the cooler weather, maybe I didn’t get enough sleep, I don’t know.
As I said, habits can be good or bad…. I am not sure if this blog is a good habit yet. I enjoy writing it, helps me clear my head about some things, maybe something I say is will inspire or help someone..so I guess those are the good points, the bad point is that it takes time from other things…. Time that can be used doing more “important” things. Maybe doing laundry, washing dishes and clearing the dish drain board, maybe looking at those bills that need to be paid, or crocheting, learning something new that I always wanted to do.
Bad habits are tougher. Don’t we all want to change our bad habits, change them into good habits. Some of them we recognize (smoking, maybe eating too many sweets, not exercising), some we don’t. A few of my bad habits that I would like to change are to call people more often and let them know I am thinking of them, spend more time with relatives that live locally that don’t get out that often, and my biggest one is, to think more before I speak or react – watch my words, watch my tone, listen to what people are saying to me and try to react after thinking and not on emotion.
