I have, however, picked up some habits over the years, both bad and good. We all have habits which we are unconscious of, and some we are conscious of. I challenge you to reflect on those habits which you may not have noticed.
Between getting back into yoga and meditating today, I realized that I need to purge some bad habits and re-introduce some good ones. I'm calling it my "internal spring cleaning!"
I consciously stopped writing as much because I enjoy writing novellas and, although therapeutic and fun, they can be quite time consuming. Although I'm still prioritizing my writing to some degree, I've had a very reflective past few weeks during which I realized that I have to move back home to regain some stability. There are some unconscious habits (mostly eating habits & digital habits) which I need to purge as well.
I am challenging myself to get back into meditating daily. It puts me into such a clear mindset that when I do make meditation a healthy habit, I cannot imagine how I went through life without it sometimes. As a child, I used to read before bed and/or when I first woke up in the morning, immersing myself in another world. Now, I have noticed that the first thing I look at in the morning is my cell phone. Sure, usually it is innocent enough; I'm usually turning off my alarm. But soon, it becomes Facebook (which now has completely taken over my phone so that sometimes I'm forced to look at my notifications; not cool, Facebook), or one of my many games (I'm currently addicted to Tetris). I'd like to regain control of my mornings. The day begins so much better with the enjoyment of silent contemplation, appreciating the pace at which the morning would like to unfold.
Message of the day: Notice your habits. Change those which no longer serve you.
...Or don't. It won't change my reality. Cheers!
