Habits
Every year for the past 6 years I've made the same NY Resolution - 'this will be the year - I will lose the weight I want'. Guess what! It doesn't happen (although I had a good go at it last year on Cohen's and I actually lost 10kg in 6 weeks. Funny how it all came back over the next 6 months *sigh*).
This year I've decided no resolutions. No, goals that offer a conclusive end that I won't reach.
I was reading Kerrin Quall's BLOG today and I love her concept and am going to adopt it for myself. I'm going to form new HABITS.
New organisational habits like cleaning up my scrapping mess after each session. Ironing my clothes as soon as I get them off the line. That sort of stuff.
Healthy lifestyle habits. For a start I will try 15mins of exercise every single day.....that's achievable...right? Of course it is.
Kerrin says it takes 21 days for a behaviour to become a habit. So, each 21 days I'll add a new one that will improve my life to where I want it to be.
When I achieve this my NY resolutions that I would have made will be taken care of and I'll have an organised and healthy lifestyle as a bonus.
Wish me luck.

rofl good luck Pam, seriously I hope it works - I am trying much the same myself - well some organisational things - not ready to tackle exercise just yet although with Owen starting kindy this year will be doing lots of walking!
Hey Pam! We can do this together!!!!! I like your idea of doing one at a time. OK, so that means I need to get off this puter and go do my chores. Thanks for reminding me!
