Problem: Since living on my own, I've developed some, shall we say, less than idealic habits. Most of these habits spring from laziness because nobody is present to witness these habits!
Hypothesis: Humans (and by 'humans' I mean me) cannot improve poor behavior permenently unless someone else is watching them (and by 'them' I mean me).
Challenge: To publicly (and by 'public' I mean the two people who might actually read this blog) account for my actions over the next 35 days (February 28 - April 3) in an effort to increase motivation for sustaining better habits.
- Financial: Bring my lunch, or eat at home 4 days a week, instead of dining out.
- Spiritual: Twice daily meaningful communication with Deity. Study the Good Book each morning.
- Social: Home by 11:00 PM every school night. No TV after that time.
- Physical: Get out of bed when the alarm goes off in the morning (I won't mention when that is, because it might still be seen as an incredibly lazy habit to you lovely productive citizens). No caffeine intake to Tuesday - Thursday.
- Mental: Limit use of bad language: Only one word per day.
- Emotional: Do not participate in verbal criticism of others.
Hope: Altering behavior in each of these areas of my psyche for 5 weeks, will lead to greater emotional and physical health throughout my life. The blog format will allow me to journal about the experience daily in order to better gauge whether or not I'm a better person by April 3.
