      Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

      Are you an addict - or do you have a habit?

      For the BEST YOU EVER SUMMER 2009 - Week one was give up something for 1 week that was not adding to the best you ever. Mine was coffee. And anger. Giving up coffee was easy, until I got angry on Tuesday.

      Darn it.

      Anyway - I am happy to report that I did not give in to the wanting of the coffee with double cream double sugar. Because a wonderful angel named Camille saved me, and told me to get Hot Chocolate instead.

      It worked.

      After that, I started drinking green tea and herbal tea as a substitute.

      It's day 6 now, and I have not had any coffee, and I won't. When Monday comes around, I may not have any coffee. It was only for a week.

      What I realized was that I am not addicted. I was tired the first couple days and had a headache - but after that I realized it was just the habit of taking that trip to Timmys that I was used to.

      Daily.

      I just didn't go in to my coffee place this week, that's all. And subbed in a different hot bevy.

      I created a NEW, BETTER HABIT.

      Boom - problem solved.

      So - is there something you do every day that is a HABIT that you really don't need in your life?

      Maybe you just need a week to create a NEW habit, and forget the old one.

      It's worth a try if you can improve your self and your life.

      Now, about the anger thing...

      Maybe I'll try again some other week.

      I have to give up driving though.

      Darn driving.

      Peace
      Andrea

      p.s. - Starting Monday - Sweaty Exercise every day for 1 week!! For 1 week.

      Could you do it?
      Monday July 13th - July 20th
      Best YOU EVER SUMMER 2009
