Healthy habits

This week I’ve made a couple of changes. There were two activities with timescales that were causing me to resist, so I’ve reduced the length of time I have to do them for now, with the aim of getting back into them and then increasing the length – meditation and Alexander Technique. I’ve also added a new habit to “Brain” – working towards a location-independent business. At the moment, this means working through the Location Rebel and CopyHour courses, and setting up a new language blog.
