New Year, New Me!

This year I had decided to make slow changes in my life for betterment.  I loaded myself up with organizational and self-improvement books before the new year.  Each day I read something from each.  The month of January my task was to start organizing, or simplifying, and drink water.  Of course, there were other things like exercise, diet, and meditation; however, I decided to take it slow this year.  Not over-burden myself with too many changes at once.  In the month of January, I made it a habit to fill a bottle of water every morning, and bring it to my desk while working.  My goal was to drink at least one bottle of water per day.  Something I NEVER do.  It is amazing how after one month of making a habit....actually has become a habit.  It is now automatic for me to fill the water bottle and bring it with me everywhere.  Just like making my morning coffee.

Results from my new habit -- better looking skin and finally feeling hydrated!  My nails are even starting to grow again.  Meditation is on the agenda for February, and sadly, I have not had one moment of silent time to begin making this a new habit.  Hopefully, I can sneak some time in later this afternoon.

Creating a New Habit

It takes repeating an action twenty-one consecutive days to make that habit second nature.  Try it!
