RE: Close to the Line

For example, come January, the gyms are going to be full again of all the people like myself who feel they haven't exercised enough and think it is time to get into shape, but by mid-February, the regression to the mean will see the same people who have been consistently going year in and year out, regardless of the season, month or year.

I think why people fail to be consistent all year long is that they see change (say exercising more) to be another item on their bucket list instead of a lifelong journey, more so a lifestyle. It's easy to fall prey to the "New Year's Resolution" without achieving any of it when we fail to internalize why we're even doing it in the first place. Change is not a one-time thing; we constantly evolve for the better day in, day out!

All the best in the year to come @tarazkp! 💪

THis is the thing about behaviors - they are easy to change in the short-term, but hard to maintain - especially the good ones. The bad ones are easy to keep consistent! :D
