Habit-Forming

We all have things we love. And that’s wonderful. Favorite foods we prepare or order in a restaurant, outfits we wear again and again—these are great sources of comfort in changing, often unpredictable times.

But when does a favorite become a habit? When does Old Faithful become a rut?

A woman I know has a note on her computer: “Do something every day that scares you.”

Okay. Maybe not every day. But if you find you’re reaching for that solitaire pendant or string of pearls every single day, consider trying a pearl pendant, maybe a pearl ring, and give that solitaire a rest while you wear a three-stone pendant—or maybe a diamond festoon?

“What’s a festoon?” 

A cousin to the pendant.

We could also talk about adding a little color to your jewelry wardrobe. Oh, wait. We already did.

I always tell my jewelry customers, “I’m going to help you find jewelry in the style you already love—and every once in a while I’m going to invite you to stretch a little.”

I saw that look. But what would you say if someone told you, “You must wear that dress (or eat that dish) every day for the rest of your life”? Chances are, you wouldn’t hear of it.

So let yourself consider, “What kinds of new jewelry would I enjoy? If I wanted to try something new, what would that be?”

Then do it.
