Hi Friends!
I'm going to start a 10 week change project. It starts NOW. I'm going to try to adopt a new change, and I'll blog about it each week. Feel free to join in. You can pick this challenge, or something else you want to change in your life. Let me know how it goes.
Sometime later this year, I'll do another change project. This one, I'm breaking a habit. Next time, I'll try to add a habit. I really need to drink more water. But, one change at a time.
What change are you doing?
I'm going to try to stop swearing.
Why? We all swear. It's not a big deal.
Yeah, but it's really not that good. I mean, I slip up in places I shouldn't. It's not like I swear all the time, but ya know, why do it at all? I don't like it when my mother hears me say "sh!t". And I'll never forget the time I gave my brother a lecture about swearing and then, 2 minutes later, hitting my head and yelling "F#*%!!!!" So - I'm done. I'm going to break the habit.
How will you know if you're successful?
I struggle with this. I'm going to be very reflective about my swearing. I'm going to try to be objective, and count.
What counts as swearing?
This is tricky! I'm going by the Catholic test. For those who don't know, I'm the product of 13 years of Catholic education (does that explain a lot?). If I would have gotten yelled at in school for it, it counts as swearing. This includes, "Mother of God" and "Good Lord" (when not used "with good purpose", as my mother says).
So friends - watch me turn from a GD caterpillar to a F'ing butterfly (sorry- had to get it out!). 10 Weeks. 1 Change. Lots and lots of telling you all what it's like.
