Smart Habit Saturday

Welcome to another Smart Habit Saturday! We've had a whole month worth of new habit's to work on. Do you feel like you are any closer to your long term goals and resolutions? I do! I picked some habits I liked this last month and I picked some I didn't like but I can say that they have all helped me get a little bit closer to my goals.

The hardest part about SHS is picking just one habit to work on but that is the secret ingredient. If you jump in and try to do too much it doesn't always last. Making small changes slowly does last. That's what we're working on here, a lifetime of small changes.

New Habit - I love my clean desk so much that this week I am going keep my kitchen counter and my sewing machine tables cleaned off as well. I clear the clutter on a daily basis but they don't stay cleared. My goal is to clear them off and learn how to make them stay that way.

Week #4 Clean off desk - This was an easy habit and it feels so great to sit down to a clean desk every day.

Last week I didn't want to commit to a new habit of going to bed without snacking because I thought it would be too hard. I'm such a big baby! Finally on Wednesday I broke down and just did it! Shockingly it didn't kill me but I did have a hard time sleeping on an empty stomach. The second and third nights it was easy and I would say I'm on my way to a new habit. I should have known I can do anything I set my mind to do. With your help of course! Who knows, maybe this new habit will help me find the skinny side of my closet!

Week #3 Planner review - This is easy to do along with my personal prayers every morning and night.

Week #2 Two personal prayers and one family prayer every day - I still have to think a little bit to make sure I say these prayers every day so it's not quite a habit yet.

Week #1 Clean the toilet once a day – I thought this would be a habit that I would drop as soon as possible because who wants to clean their toilet every single day? Surprisingly, I do, I do! I love having a clean toilet. It is so easy to do and it is so worth it! I think it has finally become a habit.
