Posted on Posted in Flying with Fibromyalgia, Gardening, Healthy Eating, Kitchen, Organization, The Flylady, Walkabout

I have got to say since my decluttered items were taken away by the garbage man today, I have been filled with so many ideas to share with you and even enjoyed a Walkabout with Lily out by the farm.

Depending on what part of the country you live in you have already or will begin September’s New Habit – Before Bedtime Routine.  Are you ready?

It’s Race Night and I also have a tank top I will wear until I go.

This one has been by far one of the hardest habits for me to make a routine to date.  There are a few more coming up that I have had trouble with and I will practice the habit for that month.

So far this year our monthly habits have been:

January – Shining Your Sink
February – Declutter 15 Minutes A Day
March – Getting Dressed To Shoes
April – Make Your Bed
May – 15 Minutes Of Loving Movement
June – Drink Your Water
July – Swish & Swipe
August – Laundry

September – Before Bedtime Routine
Have I talked enough about this habit yet?  No.  I am being repetitive for a reason.  I want each and everyone of you to have success with this habit so it turns into a routine that will allow yourself to fly higher than you ever have before!  Can it be done?  Of course it can!  Just don’t get ahead of yourself where you trip and fall over your own two feet.  Yes, that’s what we know very well how to do.

The Secret To My Before Before Bedtime Routine – Associations Of Tasks
Laying out my clothes is associated with “A Load Of Laundry A Day To Keep Mt Washmore At Bay  As I do my laundry I always keep 3 outfits in queue.  I have a hook to hang the clothes for the next day or folded up on my dresser where I put my make up on.

Getting my coffee ready for the morning is associated with “Shining My Sink”

Washing my face and brushing my teeth is associated with “My Last Bathroom Break”

Of course there are other things I do but I always make sure I do the top three.  This is what I started out with and have built on along the way.  No matter how bad of a day I have had, I make sure to do these three associations so my one bad day doesn’t flow into the next and then the next because I didn’t lay my clothes out, shine my sink, wash my face and brush my teeth.  I know I can always jump in with the rest so I never have to feel like I must catch up.  It has been a hard lesson to learn and still must remind myself.  I just don’t have to as much.  That’s my babysteppin’ at work.  Give it a try!
Keep Flying!

  1. I go to sleep at 4am and wake up at 11. I start writing right away. No time wasted. I make some coffee in between.
    I don’t eat because I’m a fan of intermittent fasting. I eventually stop writing and then hit the gym on an empty stomach. If you have been interested just click essayswriters.org.
