30 Days

Although that sounds like a very long jail sentence for a celebrity, what it is actually is how long it took for me to develop a habit. No, not the type of habits celebrities have, but rather my habit of working out (in my case running) seven days a week. Whether I was tired, stressed or faced successive 100 degree + days, I still worked out. Rather than being a “sentence”, I am thrilled that I was able to make a small adjustment in my schedule and bring more balance into my life. It was really just a 30:00 difference from the time that I was working out, but it also was a realignment of the priorities in my life. I was putting my family first and myself last. Now I am putting my family first and myself second and feel better physically and psychologically and am much more energized and able to devote the rest of the time that I have to my passion for helping others.

I did a search on the site and quickly found these diverse articles on habits. I will continue to look for more so that if you are trying to develop a good eating habit or an exercise habit, or to get rid of a bad habit, you will have more information to use to help you reach your goal.
