Simple Steps: Join In!

About five years ago, I came across the book Simple Steps: 10 Weeks to Getting Control of Your Life. I instantly fell in love with it. Yeah, it's basic stuff that everyone should know BUT they put it in a format that is so easy to do. And let's admit it, getting started is the hardest part of anything!

The book is broken down into a 10 week program. Each week, you get one new thing in the four areas of: Health, Weight, Home and Spirit. They say it takes 28 days of practice to incorporate a new habit into your life. That is the basis of the program. By the end of the 10 weeks, you will have 40 new great habits!

This is the third time I am doing this program, myself. I did one session with my co-workers, one with my family and now, I'd love to do one with all of you. Normally, I'd tell you to check-out the book from a library. But since you'll need it for 10 weeks, it's not possible to keep it that long without late fines! And I'm sure the authors/publishers would like it better if we all had a copy! (In other words, I don't want to be fined!):) So you will need to buy the book for this Simple Steps Journey. The cheapest price I've seen it is at Amazon.com. But if you simply can't afford a new copy, consider the alternative of buying used on eBay, Barnes & Noble, Amazon or at your local used bookstore.

I hope you join in! I think we will have a lot of fun. Each week I'll post the four new items we are working on. I won't go into detail, as it's important to read the detailed information from the book. Their explanation of each step will motivate you to learn each new habit. Don't worry! Each weekly section is only about 20-30pgs long so it doesn't take long to read them. And quite honestly, it's better NOT to read ahead. That way you aren't tempted to work on any extras!

If you are pressed for time, I encourage you to still participate in the program and just do one or two of the four steps. You'll still get a lot out of it!

I'll send out the first four steps next Wednesday! Stay tuned and pick up your copies of the book before then! We'll have some fun together! We'll all share our program progress in the comments to see how everyone is doing and to share any tips we come up with.

Happy Shopping and we'll be Reading soon!
