Falling off my habit wagon

May 24, 2022behind the scenes, everyday life0 comments

I am not gonna lie…I have fallen down on the tiny habits thing. I am almost 6 months in, halfway. I knew this would probably happen. I even gave myself a little grace period to skip adding new habits for 8 weeks(broken up as needed) I just know myself. I will let things slide sometimes. but consistency is merely the act of getting right back to the routine.

Hell, do I even remember what the tiny habits I wanted to incorporate are? I do know the habit of cleaning the cat box daily became void when both cats died within 2 months of each other. I totally did not plan for a habit to become irrelevant. But I was doing that habit daily until the end.

Ha, I even set a habit of using my habit tracker which I proceeded to ignore completely! So looking at that habit tracker, I see I had added habit hoping to get ahead of the game. So as of today, I have 14 habits in the queue. I do need a tracker that will help me be consistent. I do best with a checklist. But I love the look of a big board I would fill in tiny boxes that as a whole becomes a solid color thing. Yeah…mine would be full of holes and brushes against my OCD to the point of paralysis.

Looking at my list, even though I have not been tracking, some of the habits I have been pretty consistent about completing. I am just not making it a habit of ticking them off. In other words, I am not as organized about my habit of tending my habits as I would like. Hmmm

I may have to think about this a bit. Do some research, and find something that works best for me.

Friday Five: random 5 things on my mind lately

Hey Fiberista. I think I need more coffee, but I am pushing forward anyway. I am sitting on my front balcony listening to my neighbor chat on the phone in a different language. It is cool enough for a sweater, but sunny enough to be an irresistible morning. I toyed...
