MY BAD HABITS

“I don’t want to be overdramatic about it, but I’m starting to see a lot of my bad habits get the best of me.” Ben Gibbard

Happy Monday!! Slap me now, right? I hope everyone had a sensational weekend! Suspense, much? Well, DID you or DIDN’T you??? Share with me! Okay, so today we’re talkin’ bad habits! A pretty relatable topic, I think. You see, the thing about being kind to yourself means (sometimes) accepting what is (a.k.a. what you don’t want to change) and not berating yourself over it. I mean, if it’s hurting others, of course, change it, but if it’s not, embrace what’s YOU!

Here are some of my bad habits:

{1} Stop. Don’t judge, but I uuusuaaally leave on lights throughout the house. It’s not something that I do on purpose, rather something that’s done out of habit.

{2} Yuck. Gross. I don’t always wash my dishes after I use them. Eating my food is work enough, I guess. Come on, it does take effort, plus all the prepping that goes into my meals! BUT, I do wash them before I eat again.

{3} Usually around midnight, I wake up and eat. I like to attribute this little habit to the hungry monster that lives inside my stomach (it’s an inside joke), but really, it’s just me unable to resist my hunger pains. Well, at least my monster is on board with my vegan lifestyle!

{4} Ugh…I crack my knuckles…aaaand…I CAN’T STOP!! I try to, I really do, but then they start aching and feeling all tight, sooo…{Insert POP POP POP} I crack them! Well, at least I tried, right?

{5} Due to the fact that I order my skin and hair products online from several different organic websites, I try to stay on top of what’s running low. Although I’m quite aware of what I need, I never order it until the very last minute. Then, I’m all like, “AHHHHHH!!!”, panicky and stuff because I don’t have my face wash or what not, BUT I keep doing it. Hmmm…

{6} I know…I know…don’t sleep with the TV on all night, right??…BUT, I DO!! I just can’t break the cycle! It’s a comfort thing, I think, and I’m sure it attributes to my lack of sleep, too.

{7} Okay, so anything in my life that needs to be charged, more than likely will not get charged until it’s…well, until it’s…kinda dead. Good thing my husband doesn’t need a plug in. That could be kinda disastrous! Cell phone. GPS watch. Laptop. 0% charge.

{8} You better believe that when I’m done drinking my coffee, there will ALWAYS be a little bit left in my cup. Weird, I know, but it’s just something I do. I feel like if I finish it all, I’ll be too full or something. Haha!

{9} Yes, it’s very convenient to workout at home, BUT only when you put away your equipment. I admit, I (can) leave out weights and kettlebells, in particular, even the ab roller sometimes, but I NEVER (ever) do that at my local gym (or any fitness center for that matter). I believe in putting away what you use, period. I attribute my lackluster attitude (at home) to my (sometimes) rushed workouts.

{10} I buy celery, expecting to snack on peanut butter + celery (one of my fave childhood combos), throughout the week, but I never do. Believe me, I’m a big advocate for not wasting food, but there’s just something about having to cut my own celery, that makes me not wanna do it; therefore, not eat it. Maybe it’s the stringy stuff, maybe not? Who knows, but all I know is that I keep convincing myself that this week will be different, buuut it never is. Good thing my husband likes celery!

WHAT ARE YOUR BAD HABITS??? OH, YA GOTTA SHARE!! XOXO
