seeking: new habits
Feb. 21st, 2009 01:32 pmThis weekend, I made few plans, I had been sick all week. And now everyone I made plans with is sick. I am feeling really nicely free. Puttering around the house. Washing the mountain of accumulated dishes (I knew I should have tackled those before I went to Portland last week). Cleaning out inboxes. Catching up on book reviews. Making a big effort to seriously reduce the number of books/cds/dvds I have checked out. Too much has piled up, and finally finally finally I am feeling the urges to do some spring cleaning. I actually took down the rack my pans hang from and washed it free of dust, cobwebs, and grease! Having a nice balance of housework and house rest. Feeling glad for my recovered health, nicely recovering shoulder, my lovely house, my nice cat, and life in general.
Feeling like if I can just whittle down the accumulated projects and stuff from around the house, I can put more energy into doing things I dream about doing, but am far too good about making excuses not to. Writing. Making music. Getting fit.
I've been missing LJ, but enjoying twitter so much I didn't care too much. But while it is a fun exercise it isn't a place I ponder and think.
Something stuck in my head this week is the idea that you can form a new habit in 20 days. So I am thinking I am going to try and do 3x10x20. 10 minutes of writing. 10 minutes of making music. 10 minutes towards getting fit. 30 minutes a day, in the home. More = good (still plan to swim/run/gym), but I just want to get to a point where instead of thinking about these things all the time, I just do a little everyday as a happy habit (not a chore) and then can move on to the rest of everything, or more of each/some. I'm going to try and write here about what I have done of each for the next 20 days, to try and make it more likely to happen.
How are you? What do you want to be doing more of? Wanna join me on a 3x10x20?
