What's one of your good habits? Was it harder to form than one of your bad habits? Do I need to ask?
Ever thought about why it's so challenging to form a good habit? From drinking at least eight glasses of water a day to taking a daily vitamin, it's daunting to know that from here on out there will only be more things to remember to do consistently... or else.
I came upon a site recently called Behind the Makeup which seems to explore this topic in more depth. There is a good "The Hills" spoof there too.
One of my good habits is writing. Though I have gotten out of the habit of sharing things publicly for awhile, I'm working on writing more often so that I can work my way through that. It used to be really fun to write publicly, then with the proliferation of social tools of syndication I became very aware of who could see what. As a result I've been writing neighborhood-only. I'm in a different place now. A place where I'm meeting new people in the web sphere, giving out my website and to my chagrin, realizing that when they visit it will appear to have been neglected for months.
If you'd like to read my hidden (neighborhood-only) Vox posts, then add me and comment on any of my posts or you can send a private message. If your blog is updated on a semi-regular basis and isn't geared toward spamming the world with your wares, whatever they may be, or just uninteresting to me for some reason, I'll more than likely add you back.
