WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY BAD HABITS

Oh geez. Getting into the tough ones, huh? I think everyone has a bunch of these. It’s hard to narrow it down, so I’ll include a few.

1. Not getting up early. My kid sleeps late, and we haven’t had a reason to change that since there hasn’t even been to pre-school this past year. I should probably get up early and make use of the time, but I don’t. I tend to stay up late blogging and reading, because I get zero time during the day to do things for myself, or more often I still have stuff that needs to get done before I can sleep, and then I’m tired in the morning. I think it’s also harder now because of my various medical issues. I rarely sleep through the night, but even when I do, getting up is UGH.
2. Snacking. I am guilty of comfort eating, particularly sweet things, with isn’t great. I’m working on snacking on healthier things like cantaloupe pieces and berries, but it’s a lot more work than just grabbing a few pieces of a chocolate bar I’ve got sneakily stashed at the back of a cupboard, so it’s not my favourite thing. Making some progress though. I actually went through a few whole days in the past week with no chocolate at all!
3. Not getting rid of stuff as fast as I accumulate it. I think this is partly because we didn’t have a lot when I was growing up, so I never had to learn how to get rid of old stuff to make way for new stuff. I grew out of things or got too old for them and they went, and I had enough space for the stuff I wanted to keep. As an adult, this has now become a problem. In particular when it comes to books, yarn and notebooks. If anyone needs a Moleskine notebook, I probably have a spare kicking around for you. Or five.
4. Not a habit really, but I worry. A lot. About pretty much everything. I’m working on it, but there are days when it gets the best of me, and usually on the worst possible days.

I have lots more, but those are the ones that came to mind first, as they’re the ones currently causing guilt. Not a subject I love, but we have to go where the prompts take us, right?

I’d say share yours, but honestly I don’t think any of us really need to focus for too long on negative stuff right now. So if you’re reading this and want to comment, how about you share one thing you’ve done to deal with the situation over the past year that you’re really proud of? Could be mastering sourdough bread or learning to knit or taking up a new instrument, or hell, just managing to keep your kids alive because that’s no small accomplishment. I’d love to hear some positive comments!
