Day three…ok I’ll stop counting… or will I?

I’m trying to create this habit of writing every day, and so far so good. Three whole days! I’m trying to get to 21 days and then keep going. I taught vinyasa yoga last night and asked everyone if there’s a habit they’d like to START… like I’m doing here. Is there a habit YOU would like to start? What could you start doing today that you could keep doing every day… or every week that would be good for you? Make it a routine first. I think we’ll start doing this at the studio for the New Year. Instead of giving up something, START something.

I’m wondering if I should do this on the weekends or just the week days. I don’t think I’ll do it on Sundays. I spend Sunday mornings planning my Sunday morning class at the studio. It takes a while. I plan that class Sunday and tweak it all week for my other classes at the studio during the week. I usually make a playlist and do the same with that all week long. And I go through ideas in my head of some sort of message I can bring to the class. Usually, it’s something I need to hear for myself… and I just say it out loud. So I may skip writing on Sundays, but I’m going to try and keep this up all week, every week. The hardest part is thinking of something to write about. I’m sure that will start getting easier. Right now this is a bit like Seinfeld. A blog about nothing. I wanna keep it like that in a way.

Thanksgiving is less that a week away. It seems like a very busy week this year. I have my great nieces baptism and my son’s birthday on Sunday, going to visit a friend out of town Monday and Tuesday, I’m forgetting something about Wednesday, a Thanksgiving class Thursday morning that Tahara is teaching, a small Thanksgiving dinner here at my house on Thursday, a big Friendsgiving on Saturday for my son and all his college buddies who are finally back together this week! Four days later is my daughter’s birthday. Fun…but I prefer the quieter weeks. I think I’ll decorate the house for Christmas on Sunday.

So today’s blog was a bore… but that’s not the point. Not yet at least. It’s day three. I’m just trying to keep my word to myself. Whether it was boring or riveting makes no difference. I’m sticking to it. So what can YOU do? What can you START today… “day one”… and make it three days through. And then four… and then…. It doesn’t have to be Earth shattering or mind blowing. If it’s exercise… just walk around the block. By day three, just walk around the block again. Be realistic and start slow or you’ll hate it and quit. Like me…. a boring post, but I’m doing it! Just start the habit… just say it out loud. That’s your first step… and then start. One day? Or day one!
