Habit #4: Better Choices
I’m still working on habits 1 & 2. I’m on week four with habit one and week three with habit 2. (I didn’t add a new habit last week.) I am still struggling like crazy with habit #1, but I’m doing better. I’m also doing much better with habit 2.
The newest habit is “Better choices.” In all areas: eating, activities, work, etc. I tend to be a little attention deficit when it comes to life — bouncing from one thing to the next on impulse. I bite off more than I can chew and I need to make better food choices and exercise choices. I guess it feels less threatening to say to myself, “I am going to make better choices today” than to say, “I will not eat sugar today.” ARGH. If I could just stop my emotional eating to cope with the stress of raising kids with autism, and being a pastor’s wife things could really change for me. I am going to be taking a class soon called “Celebrate Recovery” and I hope it will help me in this area. I am a compulsive personality, so I don’t know how to do anything halfway.
So, maybe I can trick myself into making better choices this week. What do you think?
