Habits Are as Much About Un-learning as They Are the Actual Habit

Day 2

I realized this morning that, not only am I creating a new habit of  (literally) sending out appreciation, but I’m also changing the habit of not tuning into the appreciation I have for other people.

This is a 43 year old habit (until yesterday - grin) of NOT taking the time each morning to pause for a few minutes and tell someone how extraordinary they are.

I do have the habit of sharing myself and good vibes via email replies each morning - but that’s more reactionary than it is pro-active.

I “get” how important it is to the flow of everything good to have gratitude, appreciation and celebration for yourself and others (heck that’s how Twitter works best!).

I get that.

I’m just not in the habit of it …. yet.

This morning I sent a thank-you card to my Aunt Pat.

Hmm I wonder if I should add the stipulation - 365 days of cards to 365 different people?

Ooh that’s stretching the old “possibility zone” LOL

What habit will you begin changing today?

Thank-you for taking this journey with me :)

Great post Andrea, it’s true. Sometimes we take for granted other’s people appretiation and don’t see the importance of showing them what they mean to us. Keep sending good vibes!!! I will be around to caught them :)
