A Creature of Habit
May 20, 2010Humans are by nature creatures of habit, but I take it to a whole new level sometimes. I’m so used to working from 7-4 and taking lunch at noon that when I had to temporarily switch to 8-5 and take lunch at two, I gained four pounds in three weeks. Everything else in life was the same – my diet, my sleep, my exercise – the only variable was my work/lunch schedule. When I switched back to 7-4 and lunch at noon, those four pounds melted off.
All this tells me something I’ve always known: I suck at change. I’m just not good at it. I hate change. Or so I thought… but right now there is a lot going on in my life (good things!) and the change is coming and it is terrifying… and strangely exhilirating and hopeful. I’ve never felt like that when faced when change before.
When you feel good about life, you feel good about yourself. And when you feel good about yourself, you meet your goals more easily, no matter what they may be.
It looks like there are good times ahead, friends. I’ll enjoy this rollercoaster on the way there all I can.
