A couple of years ago I read about a US President who made a list of things he wanted to change in his life. I don't remember who it was,where I read it (except that it was on the Internet) or the exact details.
The basic idea, if I remember correctly, is that he made a list of things he wanted to change, and focused on one thing for a week. I think he added one more thing each week. So, week 1 eg: no eating after 7pm. Week 2 : No eating after 7pm, go to bed by 9pm. Week 3: No eating after 7pm, go to bed by 9pm, get up at 5am. You get the idea.
Well, whether this is completely accurate, I don't know, but this idea is stuck in my head and I'm going to try it. So I am posting my "Positive changes" and would like you to join me. Post your own list in the comment section and we can support and encourage each other.
I'm going to start with 5 things, then I'll make a new list if and when I've achieved the goals on the first one.
My list:
1) No yelling/shouting (except in an emergency, real emergency)
2) No sarcasm. (I am really good at this(I'll post something about that at some point), and the kids are picking up on it as well. So this has to go.)
3) No name calling (even jokingly)
4)No eating after 8pm :-)
5) Make my bed when I get up (honestly, this is a challenge with 6 children in the house. I often only do it at around lunch time.)
