    I am a person who appreciates time to relax each day, but also wants to be productive and not waste time. Therefore, I will:
    1. Set a timer so that within 1.5 hours of first sip of coffee, I am done sitting. I will then get up and do my stretching.
    2. I will put time limits on my iPad for certain apps so that I cannot waste hours accomplishing nothing.
    3. I will keep a to-do list for easy reference. [/list

    This has been a game changer for me. I have been so productive this week, which makes me so satisfied at the end of the day. Setting screen time limits has been key.

    @77tes - I want to know more about your photo! I love the dresses. I’m sure there’s a good story there.

    @biketheworld I do English Country dancing like in Jane Austen movies. My sister and I decided to try it when we started our “get fit journey.” We are both lovers of all things Jane Austen, so when we started looking for things to do together other than going out to lunch, we tried an English Country Dancing class, and the rest is history! After dancing at the twice a month classes for a year, we decided to attend our first Jane Austen Evening Ball. However, for that we needed ball gowns, so we each made a Regency dress, and so we got into historical costuming. 🤣. Is this sounding a little like the children’s book If You Give A Mouse a Cookie? Now, we are both on our dance community’s steering committee, are dance callers, and my sister is even taking piano lessons for Country dances.

    The costume I was wearing in the last picture I posted is not one I made because I needed a quick Victorian outfit before Christmas and didn’t have time to make one. I ordered the skirt and blouse from Etsy. I did make the belt and the mask cover. It was the first time I wore hoops for dancing, and that is lots of fun. All my previous costumes were Regency or American Colonial.

    Habits update - tracking my dancing/calling practice has been wonderful. I had to teach/call 4 dances on Friday, and since I’m a fledgling caller, I needed that daily work. I realize my tracker looks pretty blank, but dancing on Friday night followed by my husband’s eightieth birthday bash on Saturday, cut into a few habits. I have no regrets! 😊

    @annstebbing Hi Ann!
    Look at the posts at the top for some guidance & feel free to ask questions!

    Okay have us have found tackling a single, easier habit at first works best. The add a couple more etc. Takes a bit of time to figure it all out, so patience is a virtue! But the results are spectacular!!

    Hi everyone - I have been keeping up with my tiny habits that are helping with my chosen identity for March: “I am a human being (not a human doing)…”

    Had to kickstart an “I am a person who does not procrastinate” mindset mid-month to address some aspects of “being” that were creating personal tension. Had I not adopted this “human being rather than human doing” mindset earlier in March, I am positive that I would have missed the opportunity to self-correct in a kinder way. I have been able to do a slight shift in focus without retreating back to “do, do, do….” and getting lost in that again. Key for me has been choosing a very small number of simple small habits, and allowing myself the “one day” intention setting to accomplish two small tasks that contribute to my well-being. This is working very well for me right now and life feels much less frantic and stressful.

    Every morning:
    Set two intentions for the day.

    Every evening:
    Reflect and assess progress; have the opportunity to self-correct.

    I am using my Notes function on my iPhone to make a daily checklists (stored in a note for that week) and to help limit myself as to what I intend to accomplish that day.
