Dry January

I stopped drinking alcohol for the month of January. I’ve done this for a few years now. Here are my takeaways from this past month:

  • I lost some weight

  • I generally slept better

  • My skin was healthier

  • I embraced a more intentional bedtime routine

  • I proved to myself that I can change my habits

Most of all, I learned that a little bit of discipline can grease the wheels for other good habits.

Whether it’s directly influenced or not, during Dry January, I also happened to be great about making the bed, flossing my teeth, exercising, and daily reading and writing.

One good thing builds on another.

What good habits are you cobbling together these days?

Maybe start with just one and see what happens.
