I like this tip. It’s very doable. I’m going to use it on improving my posture today. I have such a bad habit of slouching in front of the computer!

Good post. I am working on improving my eating habits (have lost 30 pounds so far), and to my amazement I have improved it far more by simply being conscious of my eating habits than I did in years past by making up arbitrary rules for myself and writing them down in some system.

I’ve learned that whenever vegetables are available as a food option, I should eat them. I’ve learned that I like to have something sweet after lunch. I’ve learned that I feel much better on a higher-protein diet than on a high-carb or low-fat one. But I don’t beat myself up about it if I make a mistake, and I don’t make hard-and-fast rules.

I think in our society today people feel a need to make projects or goals measurable, specific, with deadlines, etc. But sometimes it is best to let things flow how they may. Observing your habit alone can change it.
