Eventually it got to the point where that time would be better spent writing an extra post when I was wide awake, which is exactly what happened. I eased myself into getting to sleep earlier and walking up earlier, allowing me to squeeze out an extra blog post in the mornings.

Although reading is just as important as writing in learning about blogging, the writing is the satisfying part and can act as a reward.

So, those 3 donuts calling you? How about answering with a cup of hot chocolate, if you want something sweet. Or going for a walk if you need something to perk you up. Or taking a break if you’re eating out of boredom.

Now if I could only use this advice for my freecell addiction!

I think I go back and forth fighting my demons and giving in to them. In our adolescence we can blame mom and pop but there comes a time when we become responsible for our behaviors. The courts say it is at eighteen but I think my reality came around twenty-two.

Life is just such a confusing place when you think about good and bad and what to make of our teachers? The government, power & energy companies, pharmaceutical companies, arms dealers and I am sure the list goes on. I mean who is right the democrat or the republican? Why did we not start using solar or green energy back in the 70s when we knew the non-renewable energy sources where destroying the earth? Is there a cure for Cancer and AIDS or do they just want to sell drugs? Do we go to war for power and money or to solve a problem?

I guess on a smaller note if I continue to do the next right thing and add more good habits to my life my small circle of freinds will share in my ever growing karma.

Sorry for the rant this topic sometimes catches me at the wrong time.

Thank you for another great post.

I agree, negotiation with yourself is not usually a good idea. Deciding before hand on the benefit of a good goal is much easier. Keeping yourself busy with the right activities also helps. Many people have addiction weaknesses. One way to beat them is to be too busy to give in. Easier said than done.

The #1 best way to change a habit: Tell a friend who will help you succeed. Be honest with them and make sure they are honest with you. Besides a celebration is always more fun when you are not alone.

Thanks Chris.
