Day 1, 14 October

According to my not-so-thorough research on google it takes anywhere between 18-254 days to create a new habit. On average 66 days.

Starting today I hope to write about anything, daily. Anything that strikes me and anything that moves me. But if there comes a day (and this is likely) when I am not moved or inspired and nothing seems to standout, I'll still write anything.

Why?

I want new habits that are good for me and for those around me. A habit of consistency. The struggle for consistency is real. It's kind of always been there and it's really unfortunate of my family and friends, and my studies. But I recognise it and I'm putting it out to the public that it's time for a change. Don't I sound like a congresswoman? This might be because I've started watching House of Cards on Netflix and it's crazy how much some politicians promise and don't follow through. I don't want to be like that.

So here's to anything. See it like a conversation everyday.

The tipping point was what started minuscule into a growing sorrowful feeling as I realised I've become too preoccupied to pray even 15 minutes daily. Yet, as my newly updated iPhone calculates, I average 49 minutes of social media screen time per day. How did I become okay with that as if it is normal? I mean, I say God is my priority but my habits say otherwise.

I'm sorry this is a dark start to my daily conversation with you. I've just got red flags in the direction that I'm heading and I'd like some way to express it and strive to get back on the right path.

Comments, thoughts and prayers are always welcome.

With love,

Raimz
