Zen habits

Things seem to be going well at the moment. Just back from Pilates reformer class. I love that it doesn't fill me full of dread when I am running through my mental calendar, 'tomorrow, Thursday, Pilates. Oh Pilates  that's ok, I wont have to leap and jump, or wear a super powered bra'. So anyway today I h(ad a sub teacher, who I know by site but had never had, and knew there was going to be no gentle, jokey conversations that ran through out the class, as she just wasn't our usual teacher. But the class was good and I realised that, just like our diets, that need to include variations to get the best out of them, some variations in our routine, routines is good too.  We did what we would have done with our usual teacher but the sub concentrated on different elements of the routine and did them slightly different. So the trepidation I was feeling was for nothing.



I have been keeping up with my early rising, as encourage by Mr Zen Habits, and although its only 15 minute or so earlier i feel better for it. I have been getting in to the (new and better) habit of going outside almost as soon as I wake up, so that I have a few moments of calm reflection, to look at the garden, the veg bed (I am looking for snails who eat my cucumbers), before coming inside and issuing everyone (repeatedly) with their orders - get dressed, eat up clean your teeth, make your packed lunch, turn the TV off, etc etc.
