In my previous post I extolled the virtues of behavioral change. Here’s a couple of small things I’m doing–they are a kind of “grassroots” way of training myself to be flexible.

• I replaced milk chocolate (which I absolutely love) with dark chocolate (which I didn’t use to like)
• Everyone calls one of my friends M.T. by his nickname. I decided to use his real name instead. No cheating!–I use his name at all times, even in notes to myself
• I used to wear way too little when it was cold and thus permanently feel cold. I’m making myself wear one more layer

These are fun little experiments; I encourage you to try some yourself. Observe yourself for a day or two and note things you do frequently. Then resolve to do some of them differently. It doesn’t have to be permanent–perhaps a month or so–but it should be long enough so the change doesn’t get contributed to luck.
