365 changes

So I've had this idea for a while now and I always thought it would be a great new years resolution, although i don't particularly care for resolutions, per say. My idea involves making a list (cuz I'm a list maker) of all the things you would like to change. It could be your weight, eating healthier, exercising more, drinking more water/less soda, watching less TV, anything really. Starting on the first day of the year you choose 1 small change that you choose to make for that day. For instance my goal is to lose weight and cut out sugar. So, one day I could choose to pass on soda for dinner and go with iced tea (no sugar of course)! Day two I could choose to do 35 minutes of exercise instead of just 30. It's small changes that could really add up over the course of 365 days! Baby steps people.

This challenge also keeps you conscious and responsible for your choices. I think it is a great way to change bad habits because instead of trying to climb mount Everest in a day, you are simply putting one foot in front of the other toward your actual goal. They say it takes 30 days to change a habit, so really, what can you change in 12 months?!
