“H” is for Habits…
In my experience, Habits are one of the keys to business and personal success. They can be difficult to get started, and they can be very easy to stop.
Take this blog, for instance. I was in the habit of doing it just about every day for several months, and it was something that I just did. Then I stopped for a few days, because some other things came up, and then I found it very difficult to get going again. I found that one of the reasons is that I felt that after a long Hiatus, the next post needed to be GREAT.
So, my perfectionist gene kicked in and told me that I couldn’t write the post till I had time to write the perfect post.
I just remember something that I learned long ago about re-starting habits. Don’t worry about picking up where you left off, or getting immediately back into the groove. JUST GET STARTED.
So, this post is not perfect, but it is done. And I have restarted my blogging habit. Tomorrow I need to do the same thing and before long, I will be back on track…
How many good habits have you let become dormant, waiting for JUST THE RIGHT TIME to start again. I know for me diet and exercise are two biggies in this regard. Tomorrow morning I go to the gym even if it only for thirty minutes on the treadmill… 400 calories of exercise a day plus 200 less calories eaten a day is equal to 600 calories a day which is a pound of weight loss a week! That is not a lot of change for a big result…
Thanks for reading, and see you tomorrow!
