Habits

 I  fast with the actual data but it’s generally true. used to tell my students that “24 times in a row makes a habit”. That’s a little loose and fast with the data, but it’s generally truism   And so 26 days in  I can feel that daily writing and walking are set enough that no need to daily chart them anymore  the pattern of doing them is largely established   War\ter drinking not so much. I wonder why. Seems like that’s easier? Hmm. Perhaps because it takes less effort I didn’t feel I really needed to TRY    ??

There’s some definite mood perks to at least starting the process 9I don’t want to claim success prematurely_  so I’m adding one which could really help . Daily floor sweeping.  I don’t know why but I’ve resisted daily floor sweeping, have preferred cleaning as an occasional Big Deal when in fact of course, a little incremental effort can be far more effective.  

If I can pull off these “healthy adult habits” it gives me hope that this really is beginning a new phase of my life, not an effortless fading asleep into my death
