I started a new habit of heading to the gym every night, and tonight I don't really want to!

But I also know I will feel really annoyed with myself if I don't go. 

I will feel resentful- I spend all day working and no time working on myself or my own goals.

I know going will help me...

A few weeks ago, Paul and I started doing a 30-45 minute walk in the morning.

I love it because:

1. I get to move my body first thing which is just so crucial for my mental health.

2. I get to start the day by spending time with Paul. Sometimes we talk. Sometimes it is silent. Sometimes we hold...

I am working on a new habit of heading to the gym to lift at 7pm. And I was thinking about how starting a new habit can be easy if we let it be.

Years ago I learned how to have some dessert without eating all the dessert by practicing having some dessert every night.

I'd mix protein powder with a little almond milk to create a brownie batter consistency, and then I'd eat it straight from the bowl.

I'm not really a details person, so the thought of measuring, weighing, and logging food is not appealing to me.
