Short list

I made myself a short list of goals for the five days this week, Monday through Friday. I put up some simple and not too far-reaching ideas of things that would be good to get done. It's only been one day and I've had a hit and a miss. Since the goals can be cumulative for the end of the week but worked into smaller increments each day, it should be easier to maintain and get something done each day.

Changes are tough and these aren't even that big a deal. It's only when you have ingrained some bad habits into your daily routine for so long that it becomes uncomfortable to do them differently even if you don't like the fact that you are doing them. I'm talking about how hard it is to change those comfortably bad things you've been doing and not the new changes you're trying to put into place.

I'm not sure why it's always easier to go with the flow of whatever you've already been doing for so long even if you know it isn't any good than changing it for what you know is better. It is such a stubborn, hard-headed dilemma to put yourself in. It would be much more logical to change for the better yet that comfort of falling into the same old routine always seems to be easier.

Work for it, buttercup. Who said change is easy? And why shouldn't you work just a little harder to make some changes for the better. Because you know they are and think of the new adventures that will come from doing something new and better. How much better will the overall feeling be when you are not thinking of how you should change things?

It's a short list of goals for only five days. Yesterday, I had a hit and a miss. It sounds like I'm about on track. That's the way these things go.
