There are lots of theories and conflicting research on how long it takes for something to become a habit (21-66 days seems be average). Maybe this is because every person and every habit is different. For me I know I can stick to something 4-6 weeks then toss it but I have found that if I do something for 8 weeks it's probably here to stay. Keeping all this in mind and allowing plenty of room for error I have decided to begin a series of 60 day challenges to myself that, I hope, will help me stretch my faith.
I have a very comfortable faith life, which may sound great but it isn't. I pray, read my Bible and try to live life the way I should. MONOTONY. It's the enemy of zeal! My walk has grown boring and safe and I need some new habits! I am realistic though, I don't want a fad or trend that will hype me up, get me on fire for God then leave me cold and burned out when I'm done. I want real change. I am going to focus on one thing at a time but most importantly of all I am going to try the scariest, most difficult thing I can think of. Accountability. Yep, I am going to post here daily so that my successes and my failures look me in the face and are transparent to anyone who cares to see. I hope to form habits and make myself admit and face things that are difficult so that I can have the faith I desire.
Tomorrow = Day 1, Challenge 1
