bad habits, breaking old habits, trying to be better

“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
― Gandhi

Hi friends,

Just saying hello, and a promise to do better.

I have been writing a lot since my last post, but, as you can see, I have not been publishing.  I am back to my old habit of not being able to hit the Publish button.  I am caught in that vicious cycle of forever editing.

It seems that a post is never good enough for the world to see.  I know it is silly.  No one really cares about grammatically perfect posts… well, I think. And yet, I struggle with that.

I still plan on finishing some of those posts.  Yes, I said that before.  I am still cleaning my Drafts folder, but in the last month, I just managed to add more to it.

I do sound like a broken record.  I have been at this very moment before.  Some old habits are hard to break, and the “writing a post and not publishing it”, has become a very bad habit that keeps wining over me.

My new old plan is to just hit publish when I get to the end.  I need to stop the forever editing cycle. So be prepared for short posts.  Perhaps some days I will just post a quote or a picture, just to develop the habit of publishing every day or at least every other day.

“Old habits never die. They just get harder to justify.” ― Kalan Chapman Lloyd, Home Is Where Your Boots Are
