So this is Mid Year

And what have you done?

July almost over

Resolutions not begun

If you were thinking that reminds you of a song by some guy called Lennon - you'd be right! It's my version and I have been singing this song to myself for awhile because, well the fact is, it is almost August, and I'm still not really anywhere to achieving my New Year's resolutions.

A quick word with "Uncle Google" tells me it takes around 21 days to form a new habit. So if I start today that means what I start today should be a new habit by August 15th. If I keep it up...

It is universally accepted that Monday is the best day to start new habits, mostly because the day people vow to start new habits is a Sunday, and Monday is still a day way. However I find myself saying this on a Monday so I guess I have to start!

So, I am creating this Gold Star chart - just like when we were kids. Everyday I am going to add either a Gold Star or Big Cross to my chart depending on whether I have done it or not. At the end of each week I will add another resolution on to the Resolution Chart and start working on knocking off that puppy!
