Well, once again, its time for white_n_slow to do a little self improvement. After a long, irresponsible, spendy, substance-heavy week (edit: but realistically, its been several months-even years, this last week being the worst), I've decided I need to get my behavior in check. Some of you may remember, I've tried this before, and it has worked temporarily, but I'm hoping with a little HAN support, I can make these stick. Seeing some of the self-improvements other HANers have done has been a good motivator for me.

I've had no problem identifying my shortcomings, which is better than a lot of people do, but I didn't have a good idea of how to work on them. Then I remembered that my mom has a list of daily affirmations. They're taped to the mirror, and every time she's in there, she reads them aloud. She is a very mentally healthy person, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

David’s daily affirmations:

I will strive to be patient and level-headed in all situations.

I will refrain from drinking on weekdays, and only drink football beer on Sunday.

I will start the work day earlier, and strive to be more productive and focused at work.

I will go to the gym or do some significant physical activity at least three times a week.

I will improve my diet and reduce my food spending.


Wish me luck
