    In Pursuit of Good Habits

    January 17, 2019 /

    For the past year or so, I’ve struggled to create good habits in my life. As I am in the midst of a transition, I want to create some good habits. For some reason, I am struggling to do so. I have always thought about the fact that it takes 21 days to create a new habit. And all you had to do was power through until that point and you would have a habit.

Between work, home and my own interests, each thing has been much more stressful due to this major change in my life. My body and spirit haven’t fared well as I have gone through withdrawals. Here are some things that I’ve discovered: 1. My allergies have finally kicked in this spring. I won’t say that it is truly because of the lack of coffee but the timing is suspicious. 2. The 2:00 slump is real. 3. What do I drink all day?…
