...Planning a healthy habit

I don't know how to start today.  My mind feels like a swirling vortex, bringing in more and more thoughts, goals, stressors, feelings, desires, plans, questions... just round and round from one to the next til they blend and morph into dark storm clouds spewing lightning.

I am going to begin a deliberate habit tomorrow.  My alarm will go off at 6:30, I'll roll out of bed, grab the shorts, shirt, and socks sitting out, grab my keys, put on my shoes, chug some water, go downstairs, and use the elliptical for 20 minutes.  I will keep resistance low, just striving for activity.  If the elliptical is occupied, I'll use one of the other machines.  When I finish, I'll go back upstairs, drink a glass of orange juice, and take a shower.  This will be a daily routine, including when I travel.  20 minutes of low-intensity cardio daily is a reasonable amount of exercise to start with, and once the habit is established, I can increase intensity, life weights instead, or add more activity.
