Rebuilding habits.
Here I am, doing my blog…three days in a row now!!
So what!!
Well, I blogged every single day for 6+ years and then lost the habit.
I’m trying to start it again. Habits are like driving your car. All the effort and fuel is used getting the car from a standstill to a steady speed. Once you reach a steady speed, especially on the open road, then the momentum carries the car along without the need for too much more fuel and energy.
It’s the same with any habit, getting started and building momentum is the hard part.
It’s doubly hard when you stop something after so long to get that started again.
You feel like you have been there and done it.
There is something for me to learn here. Try, if possible, to not stop a good thing once you have it going.
Of course, there are times when we need a break from our routines, some time to freshen up and come back with more energy. That’s what I needed.
However, the longer we leave something, the harder it is to restart. As the amount thinking time increases so does the level of inertia.
Let’s see how it goes…3 days is a start. So I am happy.
