I heard a quote on the Happier podcast that seemed interesting to dig into.
“It’s hard to stay changed.”
– Gretchen Rubin
There is a lot of conversation about setting goals, change, and new habits.
What we don’t talk about often is the challenge of keeping those habits for the long run.
We know that we can slide from our healthy habits.
Our not-so-healthy habits can creep in.
Sometimes it feels like we are always starting over.
My Perspective
Our lives are always changing.
With those changes our habits and routines are often disrupted.
Taking stock of how we are doing in relation to our goals can help sustain habits to get us there.
Sometimes when change happens it is time to drop habits.
Or add a new routine.
Habits and routines are fluid.
The key is to keep them focused on the goals we have in our lives.
Your Turn
Do you struggle to sustain habits and routines?
Are those routines tied to goals that you have a deep passion to accomplish?
Could you adjust the habit or routine to keep making progress to your goal?
