write in my journal every day

on this I’m afraid. I have some excuses – work mostly but also a trip where I was staying with family – tough to keep my morning routine in those circumstances. But I’m back and have no excuses for March.

So at what point could I consider this a done deal? Its difficult because its such an open ended goal. Have I written in my journal every day? No. Have I gone 2 (even 3) days without writing in it? Yes. But is it feeling like a habit now? Close – mighty close. I did miss 2 days beginning of this week and started feeling downright grumpy! I’ve written 2 weeks in a row. Would writing every day in February cover it? Maybe but the thing is I’m gonna miss a day or two in there. And who wants to beat myself up because I miss 3 days in Feb or something. I think I just need to look at this again end of Feb and see what I’m feeling

So I have done this now for 7 days in a row. Right after the 1st entry I attempted to keep a journal and I would write in it for a day or two, then not write in it for a few days and so on. I didn’t want to do a 2nd entry here until I had a consistent week under my belt.
And now I have. I needed to be on a schedule. I have a tendency to put things off. I would put off writing all day and then it would be late at night and I’d finally give up and go to sleep. Now my schedule is I wake up and before I go to work – I write in the journal. Helps to clear the head from the day before and focus on what to do today. Plus I go into work having done something for the day already whick makes me feel good.
I spend a lot of time complaining in my journal. Hopefully it will get more optimistic

So this is another thing I need to do for my get a life goal. I want to write in my journal every day. This really helps me work out my frustrations, focus more on long term goals vs. short term problems or wants, and just do something else besides come home from work and watch tv until I fall asleep.
So this takes about 30 minutes a day.
The two things I have in my list are exercise for 30 minutes and write 30 minutes. An hour a day for me. Certainly I can do that.
Starting now
