Well, this could be a very short discussion if we all agree with @Former-Member!
I’m not really a proponent of New Year resolutions (which @NikNikhas already pointed out have a very low success rate) but I am a believer in forming positive habits. And it seems like a good time of year to discuss that.
The reason I’m interested is that I have a long history of failing to stick to healthy habits. I’d fall off the quitting sugar and exercise bandwagon again and again. But in the last couple of years I seem to have finally cracked it. Not with 100% consistency but with enough that I feel sure that my health has improved and I’m doing a better job at sticking around to raise my daughter.
This got me interested. Why is it possible now? And so I recently read Gretchen Rubin’s book “Better than Before” which is all about making and breaking habits. That’s what tonight is really about.
How we create habits that help us be better – whatever that means to us.
Does that sound like a discussion worth having? And, if so, what have your experiences been with resolutions or habits? Any successes or failures you’d like to share so that we can all learn from eachother?
