Habitual
Habits
There
are so many healthy habits that you can do today, especially since
the covid-19 pandemic is going on. We can develop creative habits,
because God gives us creativeness in our spirit.
1.
Money
Take
a look at your spending habits. Since there is a shutdown for our
state have you been spending more money? Have you been spending
money that you really don’t have such as charging many things?
You can practice observing how, when, and where you are spending your
money. It is a good habit to know how much you are spending.
2.
Thinking
How
is your thinking? Did you know that you can change your way of
thinking? Positive thinking is always better than negative
thinking. No you don’t have control over others, but you do have
control over your thinking. It is your choice what you decide to
think.
3.
Mistakes
There
are those that may never want to make a mistake. If you live long
enough you will make some type of mistake. Hopefully you learn from
your mistakes and will not continue to make the same mistake over and
over. Have you gotten into the habit of learning from your
mistakes? Take a look at your mistake and going forward acknowledge
what you could have done differently and purpose not to make the same
mistake going forward.
4.
Understanding
When
you are in a conversation do you seek to understand or are you
seeking to be understood? Possibly you are so busy trying to be
understood that you are not understanding what is being conveyed to
you.
5.
Reward
If
you have an unhealthy habit, you might want to ask yourself, “What
reward am I getting out of this habit? Is this habit really helping
me or hurting me? Is this habit hurting someone else? You should
be getting good rewards from healthy habits. Do you see the rewards
or results of your healthy habits?
6.
Study
If
you are in school or college what type of study habits do you have?
Since we are in a pandemic at the present you will definitely need
good study habits for classes online. You will need to be
disciplined enough to set your time, your goal, and remember to
always look at the big picture. You are not studying if you are
online playing games all day.
7.
Words
Are
you aware of how important your words are? Your words can cause
chaos or your words can diffuse a situation. People may react to
your words. Have you gotten into the habit of saying thank you?
This is a good habit to have. Saying thank you lets others know
that you do appreciate them. Everyone likes to be appreciated.
8.
Time
Time
waits for no one. God gives everyone 24 hours in a day. How are
you using your time? There have been times when I was doing
something that I loved and I was not aware, but it seemed like time
went very fast. Do you recall when you were a child and you could
hardly wait for your birthday or for Christmas? It seemed as though
time was going so slow. Time can feel different for everyone, but it
is a good idea to be aware of how you are using your time daily.
Remember time does not wait for you.
9.
Knowledge
Remember
there is always someone smarter than you. There is always something
that you can learn. Get in the habit of learning from others.
Sometimes you can learn a lot by watching the behavior of animals.
People can learn a lot from each other. Knowledge will give you the
understanding that you need. Learn new things. Learn a new
language. Learn a new skill or craft. This is a very good habit to
form. Learn a new word everyday. Learn. . . learn. . . learn.
10.
Breathe
Are
you constantly rushing? Do you know of others that are constantly
rushing? Slow down. God has given you breath so use it wisely.
Take your time. I do deep breathing daily. Did you know that deep
breathing calms and relaxes the muscles. Yes it does. Try it
sometime. Take 10 deep breaths and slowly exhale. I first really
learned about deep breathing when I was pregnant. I took the
classes that stressed the deep breathing usage during labor and
delivery. It really did help me. My first baby was born in 20
minutes. I know it really helped me.
Your
breath is so important. You probably never think about it until you
have shortness of breath or other breathing issues. Our choir director is constantly telling us to watch our breathing when we
sing. I recall she once asked me “Betty are you holding your
breath when you are singing?” I was unaware, but she was very much
aware.
11.
Reading
Reading is understanding and
more knowledge. I recall when I would encourage and take my children
to the library as toddlers, they all had different interests. I
would allow them to pick out the books that they liked and had an
interest in. I would also take my grandchildren and discovered that
the boys loved comic books. That was ok because it helped them to
start reading. What are your interests? If you do not care to read
there are audiobooks and podcasts that you can listen to. Even the
bible is on tape now. Speaking of Bible a wise friend of mine
recently said that Bible stands for “Basic instructions before
leaving earth.” That is something to think about You can even
listen to sermons from utube. Since the covid-19 pandemic numerous
pastors are now putting their sermons on utube and other social
media. They are still getting God’s word out to the sants and loss souls.
12.
Breaks
Definitely
get in the habit of taking a break from whatever it is that you are
doing. That has been a culprit for me. When I am writing I leave
myself notes to take a break, stand up and walk around so I am not
constantly sitting in one spot too long. It is so important for you body.
I have often said I am so thankful that Michelle Obama started the
“let’s move” movement in the schools. That was just awesome.
Okay you like to catch up on your favorite pictures on the
television. Don’t just sit there all day like a “couch potato.”
Get that body moving.
