It should not be a surprise, but I am a creature of habit. I really like having a schedule, a routine, a plan. It doesn't have to be the same every day - actually it's better if it's not, but still, I flounder a bit if I am left to my own devices.
For just over the past month I have been doing the Daily Challenge. Every morning at 7AM I get an email with a health and wellness challenge in it. It's something that's regular and when I wake up at 6:30 to feed the cats and then grab my computer in bed with me, it's a welcome 'ding' when it comes in my inbox. It truly forces me to think about me every day. I am a little obsessed with it (because there are points attached) but still I enjoy completing the task.
In an effort to push Namaste Gourmet off to a good start I have given a little more time and effort to my Twitter account. I changed my handle from @HopeMirlis to @NamasteGourmet a few months ago, but 4 days ago I decided to write daily updates that either include a CHALLENGE or a TIP. I have hoped for one reply and today I got it from Jennifer Levison. It was a welcome surprise and I know that if I keep it up, I will get more activity. I know that I can make a difference and would love for people to be excited for my tips and challenges in their feed on a daily basis.
The one thing I have failed to do regularly is floss and blog. As I head to the dentist tomorrow, I am curious to see how my teeth are doing. It's been a long time since I've flossed, but I do use my super duper electric toothbrush, so hopefully I will be okay. And to be honest I am on the fence about blogging. As there are few readers, I wonder how it may serve me. I have been doing lots of venting lately, so I am not sure it's helpful to share that. Maybe I need to get some crap off my chest, or perhaps it's good for me to keep the gratitudes up.
As I build my schedule - and it may be more regular soon - I can still be grateful, daily.
