Keeping the momentum. That's the hard part, isn't it. Assuming that, in just a few days, my perfect 22 days are complete, how do I keep it going as I move forward and focus on a new habit?
Normally, the answer is: plan ahead. But since, at this point, I am actually brushing and flossing twice a day without even thinking about it, I feel like it's pretty well ingrained. With my toothbrush and toothpaste out in sight with the dental floss by their side, I just do it now.
It's like remembering to go to sleep at night. (Hmmm, I had a few days in college where that analogy breaks down...) It's just become part of my day now. My mouth tastes funny when I don't.
I guess with this one, my only real strategy going forward is going to be to make sure I always have toothpaste, floss and Listerine. So long as I don't run out, I don't suspect I will forget.
**Report for yesterday**
For something like teeth brushing, lazy, rainy days are always the hardest. You know, the kind where PJs are warm, and getting off of your rump to do anything is hard to do...
But, never fear, I actually did get both an am and a pm tooth brushing in. I just did not want to, and had a baby to play with, and ... and ... and ... the good news is I didn't give in to all the excuses and just did it. Perfect streak alive.
