The key to change is awareness

So I posted yesterday that I really had nothing to write about because things were going well and I just didn't have much to say. Scratch that. I had a small epiphany yesterday and decided that I needed to document it here. A couple of weeks ago, I get an email from AltShift about making our food choices, or any choices really, a game. AltShift sent this wristband - for free - and the game was afoot. The premise is that you wear the wristband and every time you break one of your new habits, you have to change wrists. The game is to keep it on one wrist for as long as possible. So here's what happened. I put it on my left wrist 2 days ago. The habits, or choices, I'm trying to ingrain are 8 hours of sleep, meditation every day, 10,000 steps every day, and sticking to the food choices.

And actually, that's good. I tend to write here a lot when things are going bad and not so much when things are going well. So apparently things are going well because it's been 19 days since I've written anything. And, truth be told, things are going well. I'm just cruising along on AltShift, feeling pretty darn amazing, and generally loving life. So I don't have a lot to write about. Also, and quite honestly, I think meditation has been a huge part in this new happiness. I don't dwell on things near as much as I used to. I don't over think things. I just live my life. It also helps keep crazy ass thoughts out of my head. I don't ruminate over things endlessly. I really love it. So today I'm heading over to REI to get some new hiking shoes. Then I'm going to look at some closet organization ideas. I have things to do and life is good. So, I'm off and maybe I'll be back later to write more. Or not. Whatever.
