Healthy Habits

Since the start of the year, I have really made an effort to establish better habits for a couple of reasons. One, I have a lot of areas of improvement to work on. Since I am a few months away from my 30s I have noticed that my metabolism is drastically slowing down and my problem areas are increasing in number. Secondly, I just need to start being a more responsible adult because if I don’t start these habits now when will I? Lastly, I have a lot of time on my hands. I have no baby to take care of and all my friends have babies and/or are pregnant so my social life has slowed considerably.

I have found that introducing one new healthy habit a month has worked for me because I can just focus for four weeks on incorporating that one new habit and by the end of the month I don’t really need to think about it anymore. . . a healthy habit has formed.

The Urge to Purge

Gross title, but it’s not what you think. I am the opposite of a hoarder, I love to get rid of items.

I am not a very sentimental girl.  I don’t keep old movie stubs, I don’t keep awards I earned throughout my school years, and I most certainly don’t keep anything I don’t like just because someone gave it to me as a gift.  But I am not completely heartless.  I do enjoy photographs, I hold on to books I’ve enjoyed and will definitely read again, and I’ve kept every romantic card/letter Alex has ever written to me.  I take pride in the fact that I am cutthroat when it comes to making decisions and I know many people who could benefit from my purging skills.
