My husband is out of town for work. So the temptation to sleep in has been lessened. I was able to get myself out of bed at 5:30 am. I got up packed lunches and made breakfast. I got myself ready for work and ate. Usually I would stitch or craft in some way. But I need to reorganize my studio and get things in order. So I decided to write.
Human beings are creatures of habit. We have routines that we follow to accomplish our daily tasks. But even in the best of circumstances,those routines sometimes get thrown off. That can cause all sorts of havoc. We forget to do things or just feel out of sorts. Isn't it strange how doing something out of our normal routine will set things askew? If I do something out of my general order of things, I forget something. I've left the house without putting in my teeth or putting on my glasses. Simply because I got dressed before I packed lunches. It doesn't take much to throw off a routine.
This is why it is so easy to get thrown off track with new goals. We get side tracked by urgent needs or conflicts and then the goal falls to the wayside. It can happen even after it becomes a habit. But it will definitely happen if it hasn't become a habit yet.
I was 22 when I first heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit. But I have since learned that in order to firmly establish that habit, it takes a full 90 days. This is called the 21/90 rule. I think that the 21 days is us just getting used to doing the new habit. I think the 90 days is to make the new habit a part of our routine.
So far I have not been able to post everyday. Life sometimes throws us curve balls, and our swing doesn't connect with the ball. That has been my problem this month. I am hoping that by getting back into my morning routine, I will find the time to blog each day. I would like to make up the 4 missing blogs but the real goal is to get in the habit of blogging each day. So that is where my focus will be.
