My first microresolution is now "I will put my food down between bites at dinner to savour what I'm eating" is working better than it was when I first set it (this is the microresolution that I reworked). The idea of "savouring" food is resonating with me, and I'm having an easier time remembering it. That being said, there are still times I'm struggling, like when I'm out for dinner with other people. And sometimes I just forget through dinner. So I'm thinking this one is going to take a lot more work (probably longer than the month) before it becomes a habit. I may need to rework it a little more too, but right now I'm going to focus on trying to remember better. I had the idea to write a note to help me remember it, so I'm going to do that and see if it helps.
My second microresolution, "I will stop looking at screens at least one hour before bed," has been fairly successful....except during the weekends. On weeknights, I have no problem disengaging from my phone and other screens about an hour before bed. But on a weekend, it's proving to be more of a challenge. My partner and I have played video games right until bedtime, so I end up on my computer until I'm getting ready before bed. I enjoy spending the time with him, but then I feel more unsettled when I'm trying to sleep. I'm not quite sure what to do about that at this time - do the weekends become an exception? Or should I try to find a way to disengage from screens sooner? My gut is telling me I should do the latter, so I'll need to think on how better to do that for next weekend.
