As I type in yet another passord to access yet another account, I realize just how often I type in random digits and letters. This got me thinking….
I don’t know about you, but mine are a combination of things I can remember and ones I don’t think anyone else will. What’s strange to me is just how often I need to type one in. With that thought, I decided to change them all! Just like that.
I changed the random passwords to something that would make me stop, and think, and breathe. Instead of surf19 (just an example, lol) I could go with something like breathe4me. As often as I type them in, I figured it couldn’t hurt to give them a meaning, right?
I suggest everyone do that. It’s a simple act that will help remind us to do simple things, like breathe, relax, listen, give. The options are limitless and I have to admit, a little fun to think of.
If we are forced to secure everything from ATM’s, to emails, to facebook accounts and on and on, then I suggest, I even dare you, to make this worthwhile. Be good to yourself. (I also suggest you write them down in a secure place as we are creatures of habit and change can sometimes be challenging to remember!)
I wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday season and a wonderful new year! Give yourself this small gift. Take this time to think of something that makes you smile, and every time you type it in you will smile again.
PEACE!
