Changes that seem small and unimportant at first
will compound into
remarkable results
if you’re willing to stick with them for years.
So read a twitter post from James Clear (whomever he may be).
Funny it should appear today just as I am into DayThree of
an important behavior modification!
Not sure how many "years" I have left as I near age 70.
However, I DO know that I need to quit crossing my legs!
After a knee replacement and hip replacement,
it is well past time.
A couple of veins popping on the side of one leg near my knee
reminded me that I REALLY need to institute a "small change".
I sit awkwardly in church pews and other chairs
and it just feels good - or necessary somehow - to cross my legs.
Sunday, I stacked two hymnbooks and put my two feet flat on them
throughout the church service.
It helped the awkward feeling.
AND...
I've called a silverware box into service at our kitchen table
where I sit for meals and playing games in the evening.
Old habits really ARE hard to break,
but I'm determined to establish this NEW one.
Oh I cross my legs all the time. I simply am not comfortable without them being that way. Good luck on your behavior modification.
ReplyDeleteThat was me for 69 years! Now that I saw the veins, I'm motivated to quit! Not easy though...
DeleteI no longer cross my legs to sit, since breaking my ankles, and having neuropathy, crossing my legs seems to constrict the flow of blood further.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I choose to raise my feet on something about four inches in height, seems to do the trick !
You live and learn.....eventually :)

That's what works for me, too! I'm
