What's a great new habit I could acquire?

Smile at the people that irritate you. Or better yet, just don’t let other people get under your skin.

Floss your teeth in the shower. It is a great way to floss every single day.

Give to charity.

Save some money every month.

Exercise 3–5 times a week. Great for the body and the mind.

Put the long cook oatmeal in the slow cooker with some milk, honey, butter, cinnamon, whatever before you go to bed.

That sounds so invigorating EmpressPixie! I must try this tonight, can’t wait. I can smell the cinnamon now, mmmmm. :)

Dance or meditate or something at least once a week in order to alter your state of consciousness.

Put down your cell phone when checking out at a store.

Everyone should do this. It seems like only cashiers know how irritating it is to wait on someone that is talking on his cell phone.

Exercise routine.
Give to charity.
Blog.
Sleep.

Eat before you go shopping (less temptation than when you’re hungry) :)

exercise!
if you don’t already, make your bed every day.

Put important things (like family time) in your calendar and keep those appointments.

Complimenting others a handful of times every day.

I started doing this about a year ago. You’d be surprised how many small misunderstandings it complete eradicates and how many friendships it creates.

Grab a big box of Emergen-C and some some Kyo-Green and start drinking your vitamins every morning.

PRAYER!!! its the best gift God ever gave people!!!!!

Pen spinning!

@nate: Good call! I practice when I’m stuck sketching. For those who don’t know what it is, it’s having NINJA FINGERS.

Great answers, everyone!

Getting everything out of my head. In addition to the smiling thing, I am so grateful for this habit I’ve cultivated. I have ways to capture my ideas by my bed, computer, in my car, on my phone, etc. I do what I do with a clear head. Thanks to GTD for the inspiration.

Keep the answers coming!

Tell someone you love them, appreciate them or are just glad they’re around.

Must try pen-spinning…I want NINJA FINGERS!

I know you lurved me, Aug. I know it.

It’s okay to be jealous of my black belt fingers. Just so you know.

But of course!

Be prepared, it’s hard as crap until you find a pen that you like the weight of and practice, practice, practice. Pen weight at the beginning is the biggest factor. Good luck. :P

Try making eye-contact with as many people as you can.

I work on a checkout and make an effort to chat to my elderly customers (I never shut up me, chat away all day to everyone) and to smile a LOT, it makes such a difference I’ve seen people brighten up. Also, as I’ve told colleagues, that conversation you have with an elderly customer, that might be the only chat they have that day. Many of them live alone, having lost partners etc. Remember we’ll all be elderly one day. I have some lovely regulars who make a point of coming to whichever checkout I’m on and that makes me feel great too :-) hugs xx
