21 days

So research has found that it takes at least 21 days to form a new habit or to break an old. New things have to be done at least 21 times before it stamps itself into your daily routine, or so they say. I guess it's the whole process of manipulating your mind and your nervous system to embedd those skills that are to be acquired either permanently or temporary. At the end of the day, you choose which way you'd prefer to go.

21 days..doesn't seem that long of a time..or is it?
I've decided that I would attempt this new found fact of mine. What can I do and form in 21 days?

- take the complaint free world challenge, after I receive the bracelet. Trying not to complain for 21 days, now that is hard. If you find yourself complaining, you have to start the process all over again. It can take up to 6 months to actually go complaint free for 21 days straight. A big challenge indeed. But the end should be rewarding. I'm all about positive thinking now. The more positive you are, the happier you will be.

- (This...this next one, we'll see what happens) Trying doing a simpleee exercise for 21 days straight. It's just temporary right? haha...no kid.

-(This is for when I move back into college) No eating desserts for 21 days. No icecream with fruits or cake. No pavlova. No jelly. No desserts. After 21 days...maybe I'd reward myself with a small bowl of icecream+banana+chocolate. lol. We'll see.

- Focus on what I have and not on what I don't. I've been trying to do this for the longest time and it's not easy. And to think that this challenge is only within my own thoughts. Trying to exercise and not having something you usually have or trying to quit complaining and gossiping is going to be way harder.

Ah speaking of gossiping.

- Stop reading celebrity gossip blogs. Like really, stop. It's such a waste of time. Useless informations.

These should be it for now. Lots of planning to do and definitely need to purchase a nice huge calender.
