21 Days To Kick A Habit
It is time to ask yourself:
Is there anything negative in my house I would like to change? Is there something I do over and over again like a bad habit that really bugs me?
Is there room for improvement in a particular area of my homespace ?
My guess is you can answer YES to at least one of these questions.
Maybe you procrastinate about taking down holiday decorations even when another holiday is right around the corner. Maybe dirty laundry stays piled on the floor. Maybe those dust bunnies have grown into dust monsters. Maybe you have never removed the sofa cushions from you sofa for a good vacuuming (this one is gross!). I have seen all of these bad habits time and again.
I am often amazed at the sense of style people feel it necessary to present to the external world while neglecting the truly important world right inside their homes. This is in the form of how they wear their hair, how they dress and what type of car they drive. All the while homes get neglected.
So, do you want to change?
Did you know that scientists believe it takes about 21 days to change a habit? This is because we naturally resist change.
21 days…
That means change will need intention. Change will need focus. Change will need discipline. Change will need time.
Time takes time.
But you are worth it. Each time you conquer another bad habit it empowers you to conquer another. Slowly but surely your homespace shows positive change.
You can do it!
Your homespace deserves it!
One thought…
A beautiful home impacts your mood and behavior.
Conquer those bad habits.
Cheers!
