Day 15: When New Habits Feel Better Than Old Ones

Fifteen days in, I’m noticing something: it’s hard to fall back into old habits when you’re actually seeing results from the new ones.

When you’re losing weight, when you’re busy revising your novel you’ve always wanted to write, you’re writing on your blog daily, doing yoga, feeling stronger from lifting weights and so many other things – these things definitely feel better than scrolling. Better than someday. Better than letting time slip by and not capturing what you can.

The challenge right now isn’t motivation – that will come later. The challenge is pacing myself. Taking these things one step at a time and not letting my eagerness overplay my hand. I’d rather take my time building something steady than be a flash in the pan.

But here’s what I know: the best time to start is now, and that’s what I’ve done. The things I need to figure out, I will. The bridges I need to cross will be crossed. Each day I prove to myself I can do at least one day more.

That will be enough.
