Positive habit building
Feb. 9th, 2011 09:10 amI shoveled our and our northerly neighbor's sidewalk this morning. There was more snow than I'd expected, so I'm glad I got out there fifteen minutes earlier than I'd planned.
It is not a coincidence that despite being out there, in the dark and cold, shoveling snow, I am in a better mood this morning. Exercise really does make me feel better. Since positive reinforcement is the best thing for building good habits, I'm going to get up to exercise again tomorrow. I haven't been exercising at all for a month, now. A month! Crazy. Time to get back in the saddle, yo.
A few Saturdays ago, I went thrifting for button down oxfords to wear to work. This morning, I realized I have nothing but gold-tone cuff-links for these lovely French Cuffs in my closet. In five minutes, I put together some cute little cuff-links out of pearlized, red heart buttons. Perfect for February!
For some reason, I've stopped listening to music at my desk. The only reason I plugged in my MP3 player this morning is the photocopier down the hall is making this horrible squeaking sound and I needed something to drown it out. The music is helping pick me up a little, too. What was I thinking, sitting in silence day in and day out? Sheesh. I'm going to start entering what album I've got playing in that "Music" box below the LJ entry textbox. If nothing is playing yet, that'll remind me to put some tunes on.
Now I wanna go dancing.
