    #wearewayne Research from the book “Making Habits, Breaking Habits” by Jeremy Dean says behavior can take as little as 21 days to become a habit for simple tasks, but over 200 days for more complex tasks. What resolution/new behavior will be hardest for you to keep?
  • SLPaly Jan 30 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: My resolution was to be mindful in moments instead of thinking of other things. It's difficult bc it's all intentional thinking and not something physical you can finish and mark off your list. Cell phone reminders have helped! #wearewayne

  • NGCRenaud Jan 30 @ 8:07 PM EST
    #wearewayne trying to be healthier this New Year. Trying to get in the gym 4 or 5 a week and eat healthier. Want to be active with my family, especially with my little guy.
  • WayneTwpSuper Jan 30 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: Good thing @Twitter doubled my allowable characters. The becoming more well habit is always challenging...especially working late into the evening. Another is the "finding more balance" habit as life's stresses continue to happen. #wearewayne

    I bet we here a lot about phones helping and hurting our quest to form habits #wearewayne

  • MrsCarlino Jan 30 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: I never eat breakfast in the morning! 🤦🏼‍♀️The routine of morning tasks at home coupled with collaborating with my colleagues the moment I get to school makes breakfast a tough goal to hit everyday. I choose sleep over food for sure. Appetite comes after 9AM. #Wearewayne

  • MrsCMHeath Jan 30 @ 8:08 PM EST
    The students @WaynePrep need positivity in their life. Making it a habit of being positive everyday in front of the students can become difficult some days but for the most part being that positive ray of sunshine for them is well with the difficult days. #wearewayne

    A2: my #oneword for 2nd semester is #grateful, trying to show that three times a day, some days I nail it, and some days I need some work on it #wearewayne

    A1: personal resolution to focus on my heart health. I need to make time to make my health a priority! #wearewayne

  • MrSamuelNGC Jan 30 @ 8:09 PM EST
    For me it is wellness, eating healthy and making time to exercise #wearewayne
  • MrsCarlino Jan 30 @ 8:09 PM EST
    My sentiments, exactly, Dr. Butts! #wearewayne

    Q2: What gets in your way when trying to make new behaviors a habit for you? #wearewayne
  • Dr_G_Alazar Jan 30 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1: Step out of my comfort zone more and try something new. #wearewayne
  • ihearttennis Jan 30 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1: I have a goal to read one book a month. It doesn't sound like a lot but I have already had a hard time finding time and not falling asleep. #wearewayne

  • MrSamuelNGC Jan 30 @ 8:13 PM EST
    #wearewayne A2: TIME!!!
  • WayneTwpSuper Jan 30 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: It is usually pretty easy to start strong on any habit change. However, when our normal tasks continue to occur, it is easy to slip back into handling them in the way we previously did. Thus, making it more challenging to change a habit. #wearewayne
  • SLPaly Jan 30 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: cell phones! You're right they help and hurt. More specifically, social media when I'm using it to waste time instead of learn by chatting with colleagues. :) #wearewayne

  • MrsCMHeath Jan 30 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: fighting the urge to stick to old routines that prohibit the growth of the new habit. #wearewayne
  • MrsCarlino Jan 30 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: Time is the most common excuse. For that reason, I plan everything. Here is our menu for the month. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Graphic organizers work for adults too! I’m able to plan cheat days & ensure variety & adventure in our diet. Dinner time & domestic duties made simple! #wearewayne
  • NGCAP_Keller Jan 30 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2. Me. I get in my own way. #nomoreexcuses #wearewayne
  • Dr_G_Alazar Jan 30 @ 8:15 PM EST
    A2: Old habits get in a way because old habits are hard to let go. #wearewayne

    Q3: Sometimes we know the answer to this question, but need to hear it again and again, What are the best ways you can/have overcome these hurdles? #wearewayne
  • NGCRenaud Jan 30 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A3: Having my friend and family hold me accountable. #wearewayne

    A3: Definitely by having an accountability partner or group. They can help when you begin to veer off track. #wearewayne

  • MissCowgill Jan 30 @ 8:18 PM EST
    #wearewayne A2: getting out of my good routines is usually what messes me up - going out of town, having people visit, etc.
  • NGCAP_Keller Jan 30 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A3. Small, attainable goals along the way. And, I rely on my friends and family to hold me to it! #ittakesavillage #wearewayne

  • MrSamuelNGC Jan 30 @ 8:18 PM EST
    A3: Plan, plan, plan, and put it first in my day, if I can check it off before I leave for school and my kids wake up, It usually gets done. #wearewayne
  • NGC_Coleman Jan 30 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: Accountability! Whether it is an app on my phone counting calories or watching the number of steps I take. I need someone or something keeping me on track. #wearewayne
    In reply to @MrSamuelNGC
  • mr_worden Jan 30 @ 8:19 PM EST
    A3: Having someone keep you accountable and having a plan of attack #wearewayne
  • jclambert33 Jan 30 @ 8:19 PM EST

    Accountability comes in many forms #wearewayne and is always key!
    In reply to @NGC_Coleman
  • Dr_G_Alazar Jan 30 @ 8:20 PM EST
    I go back to my "whys". Without clear "whys" it's hard to accomplish anything meaningful and rewarding. #wearewayne
  • mr_worden Jan 30 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3: Having someone push you past your goals is always a huge help #wearewayne
  • SLPaly Jan 30 @ 8:20 PM EST
    A3: I like to have a short motto or mantra to repeat to yourself frequently, reminding you of your goal. Also sharing it with others helps recruit accountability partners. #wearewayne
    In reply to @MrSamuelNGC
  • MrsCarlino Jan 30 @ 8:21 PM EST
    A3: my support system! The menu doesn’t make dinner, (our @RobeyRockets 2nd grader &) I do! But sometimes life happens and someone has your back! Having a group of folks in your life to be on your team are critical! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #strongertogether #Wearewayne

    A4: First share with them about our experience with adapting to a new habit then give them tools to adapt a new habit. #wearewayne
