My January small change was...

My January small change was...

My January small change was to meditate every day, even if it was only for 5 minutes. By the 31st (today) I meditate everyday for at least 20 minutes a day. I now wonder why I always thought that I never had the time. It’s strange how my entire schedule just kind of morphed around this one habit.

My February goal is “Eat Healthier”. I’ve been spending the last week trying to figure out what that even means, but I think I’m getting a handle on it. I’m a big fan of grabbing potato chips and shoving them in my mouth everytime I walk by the cabinet and eating a lot of “empty” calories in general. The rule now is to stop buying this stuff to begin with and eat more nuts and whole grains.

Hopefully my pregnant wife won’t mind not having snack foods in the house. Either that or I should just get some self control.
