BSBWL Challenge-Day 4

Had to work this morning again. Haven't had a Saturday off in forever. I DO have next Saturday off though and next Sunday we are going to Holiday World for my company picnic. Can't wait! I had to rush out the door this morning because I decided to sleep in so I didn't get such a great breakfast in. There was chocolate at work. I am not sure what kind, I didn't even look but two people said there was chocolate on the back counter if I wanted any. I didn't even feel bad for turning it down!

21 days

I posted this on my blog last year but I needed a reminder because last night at CEC I instinctively went for the Dt. Coke with my cup. I realized half full and dumped it out and filled my cup with water!

 -----------------------------------------------------

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. It is honestly hard to do. I have to take it one day at a time. Like today when I got home from work. I opened the fridge and there sat a taco from taco bell that my family got while I was at work. Without even thinking, I took it out to eat and said, Aww, thanks for getting me a taco!" almost instantly after I took it out to eat it my mind was like "WAIT! STOP! What ARE you doing?! I had suddenly remembered that I was not allowed to eat that! It's hard and it's automatic sometimes.
One day at a time. One meal at a time.

"From the Aristotle blog:

"Dr Maxwell Maltz wrote the bestseller Psycho-Cybernetics.

Originally a Plastic Surgeon, Maltz noticed that it took
21 days for amputees to cease feeling phantom sensations
in the amputated limb. From further observations he found
it took 21 days to create a new habit. Since then the '21
Day Habit Theory' has become an accepted part of self-help
programs.

Brain circuits take engrams (memory traces), and produce
neuroconnections and neuropathways only if they are
bombarded for 21 days in a row. This means that our brain
does not accept new data for a change of habit unless
it is repeated each day for 21 days (without missing a day)."
