One thing I try to keep in mind when building something new or growing new habits. It seriously is okay to have fits and starts. That’s normal. Yes, there are some people who start something new and just keep going. I’m not some people. It took me over 10 years to get food journaling to stick as a daily habit. It too me even longer to get daily exercise to stick as a daily habit. Reminder to myself and everyone out there. It’s okay to start and stop and start again.
I’m reminded by this quote:
A winner is a just a loser who tried one more time.
– George M. Moore, Jr.
Reminder: Small daily steps do compound. We don’t notice the changes at first. We don’t see them. So, it’s easy to get discouraged. Celebrate that you keep going. Keep trying. Get back up after falling off that bicycle and start riding again. I’m clearly writing for myself as I try to build my public writing habit.
