It’s amazing how time flies, and how quickly it is to get out of a good habit. I realized it’s been too long since I’ve done any blog posts. And it made me realize that habits are hard to make, but easy to break. I was in the zone to write posts, and keep them coming. Then suddenly I got a bit busy, and before I knew it, it had been a few weeks since my last post. Why??? of course there are the typical excuses. I was busy, went on vacation, big projects at work or countless other excuses. But at the end of the day it all comes down to one thing. Willpower.
I was listening to a podcast, and it was summed up really well. Our most valuable commodity is our willpower. Every day we get a finite amount of it, and it can it very easily be wasted. Think of all the little things we try to do every day. Maybe it’s eating healthier, exercising every day, learning a new skill or meditating every morning. Well, if you only have a little bit of willpower, can you really spread it across multiple endeavors and expect to succeed? of course. The only chance you have is to guard you limited resource and use it wisely. Pick one thing and focus all your willpower on it. If possible, pick your skill and try to do it first thing in the morning to make sure your willpower doesn’t get used up.
Unfortunately, this won’t help you from breaking a habit, but if you invest a month or two doing something, you are likely to make it into a lifestyle. Once you reach the point of just doing what you want to do without thinking about it, then you can move on to your next goal 🙂
