Now is the time to make a habit!

I know, I know. We're stuck in our houses for the next 30 to however many days it takes to #flattenthe

curve. That's why this is the perfect time to create a new good habit. For instance... writing everyday or getting in at least 30 minutes of exorcise a day, eating healthier. Yeah, the last two are kind of ick so let's stick with writing habits.

That way we can eat all the junk we want and create something awesome. You can always have one of those peddle things under the desk. *wink

How do we build a habit? The experts say it takes 30 days to make an action or life change stick.

Step One: Get a piece of paper and make a list of what you really want to change in your life or what you want to add. Next prioritize it. Only make one change at a time. If you try to make too many changes at once it can get overwhelming or frustrating.

Step Two: Now that you have your new habit, we're going to turn it into a goal for the next 30 days.

Step Three: Allow failure. You aren't going to make that goal or every single day. We're human, life happens or there are days we just aren't up to dealing with it. That's okay. What you do next is what really matters. Yup, you get back on the horse the next day and keep going.

Take it one day at a time, take care of yourself and family while you create this new habit. Include them in it! If your goal is to write everyday ask your kids to write with you. Maybe younger kids can draw a picture to go with your writing. Make building a new habit a family event. Even if you're the only one that sticks to it.

There, now you have something to do while we're on Corona Time. :)
