Routine

It is very difficult to come up with a positive daily routine, and even more difficult to stick to it. My goal, at some point in time, was to get up and work out for half an hour in the mornings, nothing too strenuous, but something to get the blood moving, and then to go to work, remembering, of course, to feed the cats and clean their boxes before leaving, then to work for an honest 8 hours and then come home, water the plants, change clothes, go to Kung Fu for anywhere between 1 and a half and three hours, come home, eat with my hubby, and then write for two hours before going to bed.

At this point I would be perfectly content to do at least three of those things every day. Work is easy, that is where the paycheck comes in. Writing is the most difficult, and getting back into Kung Fu after two weeks off is proving near impossible.

I once asked a runner how long it takes to make a good habit stick, and she said 60 days. And to break it? One. I then asked her how long it takes to make a bad habit stick? She said ten seconds. And to break it? A lifetime.

Hmmm. My good habits? Well, I do go to work every day.
Bad habits? Eating bad food, biting my nails, not working out...yikes.

I need to get back into a good routine!!!!

SOOOOO I have made myself a daily regimen schedule. Let's see how long this lasts. So far, out of 17 tasks that I should have completed yesterday, I completed 4. This is a bad start...but to be fair, I am really starting today and yesterday is the baseline.

Yep. Off to a good start.
