Building habits to feed dreams...

Stopping bad habits is, frankly, pretty difficult for me (and many others, I suspect). Here's a better & simpler way to accomplish both stopping bad habits while beginning new, good habits. (Thanks to this excerpt from http://curtrosengren.typepad.com/.)

A couple years ago I interviewed Juliet Draper and Pam Jones. Juliet is an incredible athlete who had recently won the World Firefighter Combat Challenge. As the conversation turned to the challenge of making a positive change in life, Juliet compared it to creating a healthier lifestyle.

"I don't want to tell people, don't drink sodas, don't smoke, don't eat junk food," Juliet said. "What I tell them is add a glass of water a day. Walk for thirty minutes a day. Add a piece of fruit. And as a result, you're adding all these positive things, and all of the negative things will just naturally fall by the wayside because you don't have room for them any more."

What if you committed to developing one new positive habit that feeds your dreams each month? What kind of difference would that make over the course of a year? I'm willing to guess it would be huge.

Now I just have to decide which bad habit to get rid of first and with what I'd like to replace it; hmmm...... (the choices are, sadly, endless ).
