    My Word For the Year is Diversify
    I am diversifying my style of activity from "nothing but cardio" to include Functional Strength (flexibility will come later in the year)
    I am diversifying my style of non-active hobbies to more than tablet-based, and including "abandoned" handwork projects. The beginner crewel work picture is the first. It was SUPPOSED to be a present for a very needle-crafty BFF.

    @MadisonMolly2017, I’m happy to post more specifics about my experience with VR and how one might get started. I’ll do that soon.

    I just saw this in James Clear’s newsletter and it seems so appropriate for our challenge this month! From the philosopher Epictetus:

    β€œNow is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer.

    Put your principles into practice – now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren’t a child anymore. The sooner you set yourself to your spiritual program, the happier you will be. The longer you wait, the more you’ll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better.

    From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now."

    @themedalist
    I saw this, too!
    Very powerful!! This is not new!

    Thanks for VR info - no rush :)

    Have a great week!

    Feb 8: This really helped today. Was worried - because of summer weather - about more fires. Caught myself..reminded myself β€œtake action or relax.” Thought about it, reminded myself we are prepared for bad air. Worried what if home repair (open to outside) happens at the same time. Realized we’d whole up in a couple of the non impacted rooms. RELAXED.
    This is becoming a habit! I tell mysel,”I’m on the No Stress Plan” smile relax and go have fun.

    The UAC Big Three keystone habits (20+ mins intentional exercise / log / under calorie goal ) are solid

    walking 7000 or more steps per day is rock solid, thanks to a rolling set of fitbit Weekday and Weekend challenges .... the PROBLEM is the after-work or after supper exergame time (the majority of my stepping done here) plus now that the weather is warmer evening walk-to-do-errands instead of driving is cutting into what was "craft-stitching time" even though I only set myself a small daily target amount.

    Gotta go back and re-read the 30 Days to Setting Better Habits email set from the beginning again.
    Yes x3

    I always find that making something routine helps with the self discipline a lot.

    Like logging. Just take a minute to log food as soon as its finished and get into the habit of doing that. Easier to maintain. Get into a routine of doing exercise either as soon as you wake up or as soon as the kids are in bed or whenever works for you. If you're in a routine then you only need the self discipline when the routine gets disrupted

    We had a topic about self-discipline (or whatever one's preferred word might be) on UAC the other day (thank you @Jana_2020 ! Lots of wisdom shared over that!) and the highlighted bit above is me right now.

    I didn't even fill in my tracker spreadsheet for two days. Things have been hectic trying to nail down details for a required trip leaving in 5 weeks and gone for just over 2 weeks.

    Maybe I added too many things to my "start an evening routine" for starters. Maybe I gotta rethink time possibilities between end-work and suppertime ....

    Gotta go back and re-read the 30 Days to Setting Better Habits email set from the beginning again.

    It's the DIVERSIFYing bit that I am getting pushback on from IGM .... plenty of cardio (supposed to be including functional strength too) and too-easy-default back to faux-crossstitch on the tablet (supposed to be trying for less tablet-based leisure&craft activities ... after spending all of a work day on-screen)

    I also got a call from a β€œfriend” who only calls when she wants ideas from me. I didn’t pick up. My time is valuable & time with my husband is invaluable!

    Outcome goal: Lose 70 more pounds to reach my goal weight and then maintain my goal weight.

    Process (habit): Workout at the gym for a minimum of 30 mins 5 days a week.

    Identity: I want to become a fitness fanatic.

    February I will… Set my alarm on Monday through Friday for 4:30am, walk to the gym (0.5 mile), do a minimum of 20 minutes of cardio + 10 minutes of strength training, and walk back home (0.5 mile).

    πŸ”Ή Solid Daily Habits: 11/28 days

    In February, after I do my 1st workout of the day
    …I will do > 15 minutes of flex exercises. (Yoga/Tai Chi/Pilates etc)
    Instant Reward: draw a star on my tracker.
    Long term reward: 3 sheets of birthday peel-offs if I complete the month.
    Extra reward: finding it easier to lace up my shoes/trainers πŸ˜‚
    (I love to see those squares fill up πŸ˜‚)

    I don’t post as colorful as others but my habit tracker looks pretty good room for improvement but perhaps this will be a better week that’s upcoming. Overall I am pleased with my progress I guess that’s what is most important I will keep moving forward no backwards for me!

    Outcome goal: Lose 70 more pounds to reach my goal weight and then maintain my goal weight.

    Process (habit): Workout at the gym for a minimum of 30 mins 5 days a week.

    Identity: I want to become a fitness fanatic.

    February I will… Set my alarm on Monday through Friday for 4:30am, walk to the gym (0.5 mile), do a minimum of 20 minutes of cardio + 10 minutes of strength training, and walk back home (0.5 mile).

    @dkr529 I am also a 4.30am gal actually alarm goes off at 4.20am... I absolutely love it but hubby is not a fan as it wakes him up sometimes lol!!! Working out early in tthe morning is sooo much more enjoyable than at the end of the day!!! I would love to hear how ur going with it all? Xo

    @donna25trinity Same with my hubby.. but fortunately he goes right back to sleep. :smile: I’ve been doing well with my workouts thus far. I started going to the gym on Feb 6th. Prior to that I was just getting up and walking a mile before work and/or doing some aerobic workout in my living room. Now I’m getting a mile walk in and cardio at the gym.. and I added in strength training starting yesterday.

    I’m slowly building up to being the β€œfitness fanatic β€œ I see myself as one day. LOL. I have the type of personality that wants to do more, work harder, and be the best. So if I can just keep working hard and get this weight off so I feel better, I’m sure I’ll be able to achieve my goals.

    I’ll check in on here more often with my progress. :smile:

    Your insights around identity are Really Working for me?

    I’m creating a new identity for myself & Im a lot happier & energized!!

    Thank you!

    This makes me so happy to hear, Maddie!

    For me, the concept of identity based habits was very alien at first. If you wanted to create new habits, why not just focus on the new habit? But if your new habit isn’t aligned with how you see yourself and who you are, it probably won’t have much staying power. Changing how we see ourselves and cementing that view with small daily actions opens the door to almost any change we want to make for ourselves. It’s a very exciting concept!

    Wow… there’s a 4:30AM? πŸ˜€

    I am also a morning exerciser but that’s usually in the 7:00 to 8:00 am timeframe. Nothing happens before coffee.

    Invite from BJ Fogg, β€˜Tiny Habits’. I did one of his 5 day courses last year.

    I also get the weekly emails from James Clear, β€˜Atomic Habits’.

    @themedalist yes, it’s lifechanging

    I am a person who doesn’t worry!
    I am a healthy dancing artist-hiker who loves to cook!
    I am a person who sets boundaries.
    I am a person who loves to coach & inspire others (in real life) especially around creativity & health!
