Theme: Pick Your 'One Thing'

Today's Challenge: There are lots of ways to ditch the chair and some of the most popular actions are listed here: http://www.quittingthesitting.org/ideas.html Which do you think would work for you?

Since we want to be sitting less long after the challenge has ended, it's important to find ways to sit less that work for us and fit into our lives. It can't be something you hate doing or you won't stick with it. It's also important not to try and change too many things at once and make the whole process overwhelmingly hard.

Today's challenge is to read this blog post: http://www.quittingthesitting.org/simple-plan-to-sit-less and then select the one action you will prioritize this month. What's your “One Thing?”

Please Note: To increase the likelihood that your chosen activity becomes a habit, it's important to attach this new activity to something you already do every day or something that happens to you every day. The “old” activity serves as a cue or reminder to do the new habit. For example, you might decide that “Every time the phone rings I will stand up and move around” or “After I write an email, I will stand up and proofread it before I hit the send button.” Or, “I will leave my walking shoes by the front door to remind me to head out for a walk.” In these cases, the phone ringing, the written email, and the shoes serve as reminders to do the new habit.

Of course, a post-it or a note to yourself also works!
