One thing at a time is the only way to make this work. I'm on my 4th thing its going really well. 1) brush/floss my teeth twice a day (please don't judge me) 2) practice Spanish every day 3) yoga every morning Mon-Fri and now day one of 4) meditate as soon as I get home from work.

Good luck with your water!! would it help to fill it the night before do you think?

Water is great. I try to drink a big bottle a day.

My work ran out of the jugs that we use and it's made getting enough water really hard. Supposedly they're refilling them today, but I guess we'll see!

Yes - the logistics sometimes really bog us down. If I don't see something, i forget it exists. So putting water out on the counter in the morning makes sense, because then it's right in my face. But that is apparently an irresistible invitation to the cat to joyfully fling water all over the kitchen. Okay, cover the pitcher with something. Now the cat's pissed, and next time I'm out of the room the the whole pitcher mysteriously crashes to the floor; the cat, now on top of the fridge innocently licking her paws, has NO IDEA how this could have happened.. Okay, I'll buy bottled water. Great, now I've got environment-guilt. Okay, buy a nice reusable water bottle. Oh, now i'm feeling bad about spending money.

Eventually, finally, I stop and think for God's sake, most of the world's population doesn't have clean tap water, I need to get over myself, walk my ass over to the tap and drink a glass of water already.

But what a lot of drama to go through, eh?

.....and, I'm borrowing the yoga idea for my next "One Thing". It's so terribly hard for me to calm my ADD brain. taking ten minutes in the morning for a few poses (after drinking my starter glass of water) should help! So, that's what I'm adding tomorrow. What's everyone else going to do?

Thank you. Your cat CRACKED me up, and I really needed that today. If you're looking for yoga suggestions, I use an app called "10 Daily Yoga Poses" on my android phone. It has the same 10 poses everyday but in random order and you control the timer length for holding the poses and the rest period. A few of the poses I hate, so I just mentally switched them out for better poses (one of which may be "sit on my butt and pet the dog, but eh). I might have to borrow your water idea too. I just don't drink what I need to at work, especially with the new regulations! (they did refill the water jugs today, so that's good!)

Well, morning yoga was a bit of a challenge because a 70 pound English shepherd felt that child's pose surely meant I was in some kind of distress and he should soothe me by laying down on top of me. Went from there to Downward Dog which apparently indicated that there was some wonderful treat on the rug - otherwise, why would Mom be staring at the floor in that strange position? so he put his cheek up against mine to help me search, and snuffled around frantically while I held the pose. Tree Pose seemed like a good opportunity to show affection by leaning on me. It's getting chilly here but I might move this endeavor to the front porch tomorrow........
