Habits

I have been very remiss about posting blogs lately. It makes me sad, as I was so dedicated to it, and really enjoyed the experience of putting my thoughts into words.

It’s not that I haven’t written, I’ve had a lot of ideas for posts, and I start writing them, but they either feel like I’ve got a half baked idea, or I’ve already written about that same thing. (Maybe I don’t always have to write about wellness) I have 9 started posts. I am going to dedicate myself to finishing them… and if they’re not perfect, that’s ok to. It’s probably a good lesson for me to learn, that perfection is not important.

Another good lesson I am relearning is about habits. Missing one day writing makes it so easy to skip the next day, which makes it easy to miss a week, or two. I feel this is the same with exercise and eating healthy. Of course it’s the same when I do exercise and eat healthy. I crave more of it. I believe we are creatures of habit.

How fantastic is that? Doing something just once can put you on a whole new path. It has to start that way, it’s impossible for it not to. The scary thing is, it’s true for good habits and bad habits. And certainly my bad habit of not finishing things is creeping in. How did I let myself start 9 posts and never bother to finish them?

I can’t worry about the last few weeks. I have today. Today I am going to rededicate myself to this blog. Also I am going to give myself permission to write, and not have it be perfect.

And if you don’t see a post for a few days, a reminder from my friends to get back on track would be helpful too!
