Today’s going to be the 27th consecutive day.
It is a change happening in life, and my frequent mentions of the same, is a way to acknowledge the change! So bear with me, on this.
As I think back to previous attempts to be regular, and where I failed, and how different it has been this time, I can see some clear factors.
In these 27 days also, there have been enough issues where I could have taken a break. To my mind, it would have been justification enough. At least the way that I used to approach the same goal or resolve earlier, these factors were justifiable for taking a break.
What kind of issues I am referring to?
The slight pain in the knee..
That niggle in the ankle..
The cold and the cough, and the slightly sore throat..
The slightly early meeting that I needed to attend at work..
All of these were reasons earlier, to give the morning exercise routine, a miss.
This time around, I have not allowed myself such alibis.
Of course, if it was a really bad knee pain or ankle pain, I would have had no choice but to take the break. But I think, even on previous occasions, when I had succumbed to such excuses, it was never a bad paid or a bad throat. The early meeting at work was usually not that early, where I could not start 30 minutes earlier, do my morning exercise, and still make it to the meeting.
But those days, I was looking to take a break.
This time around, I am looking to make it happen.
So the break, as and when it happens first, will BE for a definitely unavoidable reason.
And therein lies the difference this time.
Have you tried to work on a good routine but failed? Kept going back to old ways? Or you succeeded? Love to hear about your experience. Do share in the comments below..
