Are You Focusing Your Energy in the Right Place?

Have you ever tried making a change in your life?

Yes?

So have I. Sometimes the changes are thrust upon me by the unexpected twists and turns of life, but sometimes I am just not satisfied with the direction my life is taking and I become the fuel in my own fire.

I am focusing my energy on building new habits: one little habit at a time.

Last week I adopted the attitude that I wanted my kitchen clean, no matter what, before I climbed into bed. There are days where that has been more difficult than others, especially when we use more dishes than will fit in the dishwasher or I forget to start the dishwasher before I climb into bed or I have a headache or we have been extremely busy away from the house all day.

I used to, on days like that, leave everything for the next morning, but when I woke up, I hated looking at the mess and the day started off with regret.

Regret is a hard pill to swallow.

I relapsed just once last week. I told myself that the relapse was justified because I was exhausted and fighting against that exhaustion took too much energy. When I got up the next morning, I looked at the mess as I took the dogs out. I felt defeated and it was only 7:00 am.

I’m focusing my energy on building this new habit for one more week. Then, I can look for another positive habit to adopt.

What will it be? I’m not sure.

What habit can you focus on to improve your daily attitude and improve your life?
