Creating Habits

This morning I started my day off with meditation. I also used my Neti Pot because with the change of the weather I'm starting to feel a bit stuffy. Still trying to get into the habit of drybrushing daily (even weekly to start would be good lol).

I remember when I was in 3rd grade, we learned that it takes 21 times of doing something regularly to make it a habit. So, once I drybrush for 21 days straight, it should be engrained. That's the hope.

Yesterday was a challenging day at work. Today is going to be so much better! After all, it started well... and I get to drop some orders off at the PO on the way to work! Life is good.

So... I told you some things I'm doing for ME... what are you doing for you?

Overcoming Anger

I give 100%, generally. Maybe 75% when I'm ill. I expect the same from others. I don't get that from anyone else. And it makes me so angry! It does not change anyone elses response, it just makes me angry.

I don't like to feel angry much of the time. I want to do the things I do... work, run an online business, do stuff around the house, and have others pull their own weight as well. But I've learned that I can't control anyone but me. And that sucks!!!

So how will I deal with the anger and bitterness swirling inside me? I will use it as a catalyst for change, if things remain the same... but in the meantime, I need to deal with ME.

I need to breathe. I need to meditate. I need to lose myself in the things that bring me joy... which means of course never actually losing myself, but immersing. Tonight when I get off work, I will make some journals and list them. I will sort through my photos and see which of those I'd like to list. Perhaps I will email some old friends, and I will package up some orders to mail out. I'll peck away at the chores as well.

What I won't do. I won't yell. I won't get angry. I will take care of me. Perhaps I'll even enjoy a soak in the tub!!

How do you take care of YOU? How do you deal with anger?
