The Habit


Many a former Catholic schoolboy remembers the habit - those long flowing dresses which covered up every possible inch of a nun's body - except her face. We all had a Sister Mary Ann we looked up to and learned from. The outfit they wore was called "the habit". It seemed perfectly natural for them to wear those interesting outfits. I never did understand how they could stay cool in the hotter climates while wearing those black outfits.

Well school is out for the Summer now in many towns and cities across this great land of ours. So now is the perfect time to give some thought to a different kind of habit. They say you can develop a new habit in as little as 21 days! In as few as three weeks you can be on the road to a new, improved you!

Whatever you want is in reach - if you take the steps to plan and then move in the direction of your goal - or new habit! The desire to be successful is less important than planning and then implementing the repetitive plan. Wanting the change badly enough is of course important, but action is the key. The other factor is the ability to “recover” quickly from a setback or straying from your plan. These two factors are key to reaching your goal. Or implementing your new habit!

Try it - whether you want to exercise and lose weight fast or just start a new regimen of healthy eating. You can be on the road to a much healthier lifestyle in as little as 21 days!

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" Philippians 4:13
