Challenge Of The Month: September 2005

Okay, so I got through one challenge successfully so far. And to celebrate my victory, I went to Starbucks today and got a triple venti Mocha. What's nice though is that I don't really crave Starbucks anymore. If I have it, I have it, but I don't have to go almost every day to get my fix. I have learned to trade really good coffee (Starbucks) for pretty cruddy coffee (mine). And the money that I saved on Starbucks will go to people who most definitely need it right now.

I have two challenges this month - one that I can't share until after the month is over, and one that I can share that will probably seem a little silly. The one I can share has to do with a habit I've had for years and years and years. It's something I do so subconsciously without even thinking about it - especially when I'm driving or riding in a car. Or I'm in a meeting. Or in a hundred other places.

I bite my fingernails.

Again, silly - but I've done it for so long, that I really don't know if I can handle this challenge. I have to figure out some kind of signal I can give myself when I'm about ready to start biting. Hmmm. If you have any ideas, let me know.

We'll see what happens.

i bite mine... not too bad, but i've done it all my life. i've stopped biting them once for 2 weeks... then i caved. its one of the most difficult things not to do. subconscience is definitely accurate. good luck.
