I am still writing 3 positive things I like about my day each day. I keep forgetting to work on the other things on my list but I am trying. I still have to keep trying to restart the whole eat a piece of fruit a day. I wonder if a glass of pineapple juice a day or juice of some kind a  day can count? I hope that it will get easier with the diet now being more and more a conscious decision. Mind you there hasn’t exactly been much progress if I am honest.

I keep working on not apologizing for myself, I realized that shy body language is still apologizing for myself to some degreee. I really want to achieve it even though I am so far unsuccessful. I suppose it will take more work.

I am trying to be more consistent with learning guitar and as for the nanowrimo project heaven knows…

So the 24-7 goals update? Well as you know I completed  goal number 1 now and goal number 15 (the habit swap… still more habits to work on). The current in progress goals are 3, 4, 10, 12, 17, 22 as well as the ones that take time and progress to achieve for the moment. I will let you know if I achieve any more of them I promise. Anything is possible… Who knows what new habits I might want to make or break to add to the list… I wonder if I achieve another three habit swaps if it will count as another 24-7 goal completed?

Habit swapping:

Break- Stop apologizing for myself so often. I do it a lot, it is something that really bothers me, mainly because I apologise for things that are completely not my fault and nothing to do with me. I am sick of apologizing for my own existence.

Make- Eat at least one piece of fruit a day. It is supposed to be healthy right?

Make- Write/plot at least an hour each day even on rest days. I have to start getting stricter on myself.

Make- Create and stick to a writing schedule. I have to start being more organised.

Break- Stop being hard on myself, speak kinder words to myself instead. That pretty much explains itself.

Make- A daily list of 3 positive things that I like about my day. Because sometimes it is easy to forget that there were brief sunshine moments.

Make- A daily list of 3 things that I like about myself, physical, non-physical. Because, it can be hard to show yourself some love.

Make- A little notebook of positive aspects, a once a day entry of 10 things that are positive. Literally a list of positive aspects about people, places, things; maybe one day I will post it on here.

That’s all I have for now, it might change or grow.
