On Being Consistent

Being consistent is something I am not good at but want to change. At 68 do I really need to change things in my life. My answer is yes, yes I do. I know we can't know our future but while I am alive I want to do what it takes to keep it enjoyable for as long as possible. That means being healthy and strong physically and mentally as long as I am able.

I am trying to build a catalog of habits that will serve me well in one way or another. The first habit I chose to start is writing here daily. I figure if I can come up with something to write about each day and am able to form complete sentences it means I am doing okay. I don't know if I am just talking to myself here or actually have some readers but to me it doesn't matter. I will keep going. I have, so far, written every day since June 16th. Go me! (If you are reading though because I lied about caring if you are out there reading or not, it would make my day if you said hello in the comments!)

What I added next was a physical habit. I started doing yoga again every morning after writing my post here. It has been 5 days so far of a series with Lindsay Samper that is on Prime Video. I feel I am doing good so far and I feel better exercising each day. The body weight exercises of yoga are good for my bones and building strength and we all know old ladies need to take care of those old bones to help prevent fractures. 

By the way, Bing Image Creator was used to create the yoga studio you see here. I have lots of fun playing with that tool. I only have a corner in my craft room a bit bigger that my mat and I am okay with that. I have made some lovely wallpapers using this tool for browser and computer backgrounds to personalize those things especially for me and to have something pretty to look at. I also have made images for posts here on the blog. Have you played with it?

I have not firmly decided what habit I will want to build into my day. That is a decision to be made next week. I am considering a daily walk either outdoors weather (heat) permitting or on my treadmill or adding one item each day on eBay. I am not going to open a store there, but I want to take advantage of the no insertion fee listings you can get each month. Eventually I will do both but pondering now whether the next step in building new habits should be physical or building mental skills by learning how to do new things. When I know you will know here.

Back with more again soon. 

Take care and stay cozy!
