The "Month of Good" was conceived when I wondered what it would feel like if to be the person I want to be. I got tired of beating myself up over every birthday present sent late, every yoga class missed, and every phone call left unreturned.
I made a list of everything I should be doing to be, well, "good." I then decided - as an experiment - I would do it all within the space of a month to see what would happen. What would it feel like to finally be "good"? Exhausting? Exhilarating? Is it even possible?
What I hope to accomplish is to decide which "good" things make me and my family the happiest and most fulfilled - and chuck the rest. The stuff I keep is the important stuff; the leftovers are things I actively choose not to do. The theory is, once I decide they're not important, they don't have the same "I suck" power over me anymore.
What kind of stuff? Here's the list.
