6 Changes.

 Print

During my blog reading tonight, I found a website called 6changes.com. The idea is that you choose 6 things to change in your life. You commit to each one for two months, 8 weeks, which is time to make it a habit. Then, and only then, do you move on to the next change. The site is interesting because he talks about breaking down the change into manageable steps, ie. you don't leap in on day one. You take a step toward the change. So I'm thinking about things I would like to change and here's where I'm headed.

1. Exercise more. Oh, who am I kidding? Exercise. Period.

2. Take better care of my skin.

3. Clean my own house. I know, you think I'm spoiled, but seriously? I'm ready to go back. I think.

4. Cook more meals at home.

5. Write in a journal on a regular basis.

6. Stop buying books. Not stop reading, just stop buying. Go to the library more often instead. You know, free?

So the key to this, apparently, is to choose one and start with baby steps. I don't know if my husband is going to fully grasp how small a baby step is going to be so as much as the site says not to, I'm afraid that might get skipped for the exercise change, which is the first change. We've agreed to start walking. Wish me luck.
