I'm not opposed to habits, it's just they don't seem to stick to me. No, nothing you've said discourages me. I just continue to bodge along as best I can.
Habits? My body is immune to them. I sniff at creating a habit in 90 days. I can slip out of a habit as easily as changing clothes, even if I have been doing the activity in question for years. I blame a childhood where I was never forced to do anything routine.
There is definitely something about having a personality for routine. So often we applaud someone for having a good habit, when actually, it's just they are made that way. I hope the tips helped and stopped you feeling like you must have a habit!
I wanted y'all to know I read every single post you write, and I just realized I never interact with them, so I wanted to let you know your work really helps me stay on track of my goals and I appreciate it a lot!
Hey A.M. - great to hear from you and thank you so much for your kind words. As you know, we put our writing out into the world and often don't get a response - when we do it means so much 😍 I hope you are writing and submitting and putting your words into the world. Here's to keeping going :)
Afterthought! Researchers found that the odd lapse doesn’t destroy an emerging habit. A study from our fave Professor Wendy Wood found that participants embarking on a new routine could miss a day or two without derailing what they’d started.
