Instead of "Resolutions"...

Every year, there's a flood of New Years Resolutions that are being made. By the end of January, most people have forgotten about their promises or just give up on them. 
I have done this many times before. 
This year, I want to create habits, but I don't want to start with 10 habits at once. I know myself and I know that I wouldn't be able to achieve every single one of them. 
Also, I didn't want to start on January.
With all of this in mind, I started my monthly habits idea. I still don't know what I want to do for every month, but for February, I want to start getting into the habit of being active. I started doing the 30 day shred at the end of January, but will be doing it throughout the whole month of February. Some days are hard, but I always feel good after a workout. 
I don't know how I'll feel about this at the end of the month, but I'm hoping it sticks. 
For March, I want to create a nightly ritual habit. I'm horrible at taking off my make-up and flossing, therefore, I'm going to try to create a habit of taking off my make-up, washing my face, brushing my teeth, and flossing EVERY NIGHT. I need to take better care of my skin now, because I'm not getting any younger. 
I don't have an exact plan for the rest of the months, but some ideas I have are: learning how to cook, making my bed every day, doing nice things for others, following a budget, going to church/getting closer to God, doing creative things, etc. 
I'll do a post at the end of every month with a summary of how my monthly goal went and what I have planned for the upcoming month. 
I hope this helps me create better habits!
