Changing bad habits...
We all have them. Bad habits die hard.
Mine: over eating, over thinking, procrastinating.
Overeating
I am working on hitting only 1500-1600 calories per day til I reach my goal of 138.
I am walking or gardening, or floor yoga each day. (one mile+, one half hour, or 15-20 minutes.)
Over Thinking
This one is more difficult for me. I have a need to analyze everyone/everything.
I need to learn to 'let go'.
Procrastinating
I begin, but seldom finish.
I wrote 'never finish' first, but then realized I have finished some things I have started. If a person says to me, 'whenever you get to it'... it doesn't get done.
But under time constraints, I manage to complete. I am not always satisfied with the end result, but I know I have it completed. I believe I am a perfectionist in my head... and to reach perfection (or my idea of perfection for any given painting, task, etc...) is not possible. Therefore I 'give up' ... and seldom find an 'end' to a project.
I need to get over the idea of perfection, and enjoy the end result, with flaws...
(whether the flaws are real, or perceived!)
