It makes me consider what habits I could shed. I am reading Gretchen Ruben's Better than Before. It's a great read. She doesn't tell you what to do, she describes many strategies for adopting, letting go of, or changing habits. Some of the habits I am considering are:
A new exercise program: strength 3X/week (Mon, Wed, Fri); Yoga (Tues/Thurs/Sun) with running or something cardiovascular when I can fit it in for fun
Eating "clean"
Adopting a new filing system for all the paper in our lives
Committing to never "winging it" at school, to always have my plans for the next day in place before I leave for the day.
Putting my clothes away and not allowing them to pile up on my dresser or in clothes baskets
De-cluttering everything possible, one room at a time.
Making my bed each morning.
Read the news at least two times per week so that I am better informed about what's going on in the world...but WHERE?! It has to be easy and convenient! (Easy to do, hard to fail is how habits stick)
Accepting my husband's habits as his own, which I cannot alter...but my son is fair game.
