Habits

So there is something funny about habits. I went and served a mission for 1 year and 6 months. Everyday I woke up at 6:30 am and I thought that it would be so hard to get out of that habbit when I get back from my mission...nope. I think it took me less than one day if that is possible. haha I'm not saying I sleep in until noon but there is definitely not an internal clock waking me up at 6:30.

So what is it that makes habbits so hard to make and so easy to break? Like daily prayers, excercise, always smiling, keeping your head up...etc. Seriously. And others are so easy to make and hard to break...biting your nails, tapping your foot, typing in facebook when you log on your computer...etc.

I've been thinking about this a lot today because I have forgotten to do a few things that should be routine already but JUST AREN'T. How can I always remember? Well, I know it is hard. Especially when your memory is like mine but I heard someone say once, "If you really want to remember you will." Ouch. It is true though. I have to just make sure my priorities are STRAIGHT. If I think about the important things hard/often enough then I will remember them. Then I will not have to have them as a habit but something more than that, something important everyday.
