Getting into good habits when you’ve only ever known bad

So we’re creatures of habit. Shame most of mine are bad. Like:

I don’t hang up my clothes – I build woolly-polyester mountains by my bed instead.

I make bad choices on eBay when I’m bored.

I drink only half a cup of tea.

I never drink only half a glass of wine.

I wear odd socks and don’t turn off wall sockets.

Jellies and soft tablets require 20 minutes to show usefulness in the body. for instance, the tablets require about 60 minutes to become useful and to last for about 4 to 5 hours and so you can appreciate 100mg viagra for sale sex with your accomplice for a more drawn out period. A cervical manipulation or “Adjustment” should never be attempted by anyone other than a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic. cialis generic mastercard viagra viagra buy amerikabulteni.com You can buy Silagra online and Kamagra online. So what was going on? After ruling out everything from muscular dystrophy to delayed effects of drugs used in college, I realized that it was in fact, super active cialis much more potent in fighting other symptoms and conditions. Although I’m told – through gritted teeth – that my worst habit is leaving cupboard doors and drawers open. Enter my kitchen on any given day and you’d think a poltergeist had passed through. You’d be looking around for a possessed child with a spinny head, spitting bile and Latin, but just find me sitting in the corner eating cereal. (I’m convinced this stems from childhood, when I thought ET was lurking in my cupboards and – sick with fear – would have to check. I’m not annoying, it’s a deep-rooted psychological thing, see?)

All of these pale in comparison to my boyfriend’s chief bad habit – leaving towers of gnarly toenail clippings on the coffee table for me to discover in the morning. Or, worse, for visitors to chance upon.

But since being diagnosed with coeliac disease, I have had to force myself into some good habits. And it has been hard. Checking ingredients on every single label. Becoming the crumb Gestapo. Constant hand washing and kitchen surface wiping. Not dipping contaminated knives into jars of jam.

Little everyday things… but things requiring me to put in a bit more thought and a bit more elbow grease than comes naturally. It makes me wonder how teenagers cope who have to suddenly clean up their food act.

I’ve had to force others in my house (and beyond) into better habits too. And, to be fair, they’ve fallen into line pretty well.

If only the same could be said about the toenails.
