The Power of Habit RSS

Rapid lifestyle changes that are externally motivated often do not have longevity. In fact, most people return to long term previous behaviors. Humans do best with small changes that are realistic. I am hoping to add one good thing (habit) to my life each week. I will practice this habit for 30 days or until mastered.

Habit #3: Master Habit #s 1 & 2

Since I have not yet been very successful at habit #1, I don’t think I’m going to add a new habit this week.  But I will say that I have been enjoying habit #2.  I love watching my husband’s bewildered reaction as I do things to “make him feel important.”  It’s not that I wasn’t attentive before.  I was.  But I don’t know, I just say things in a different way since starting this new habit, and it has him wondering what I’m up to.

It’s cute.

He’s like a shy little kid about it, and he is soaking it all up big time.

That’s the funnest part of habit #2 — seeing his reaction to it.  It just makes me want to practice it more and more.  I haven’t told him that’s what I’m up to.  I will eventually.

As for habit #1 — I haven’t been feeling very well, and have a lot of aches and pains.  So, I need to work harder at not moaning and groaning about how I feel.  I hate to admit that I’m a whiner, but I am.

Maybe I’m afraid to try a third habit.  And I guess, I am afraid because I’m afraid to fail.

Still, there’s nothing written that says I can’t take my time in the “new leaf turning” thing.  So I will.

And should Jesus come before I master it - I will rejoice that I’ll be changed in a twinkling of an eye!  But for now, the change comes slow and steady, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
