Nothing lasts forever. It seems that whenever I derail from a routine for a day or two, everything simply resets and I have a hard time gearing up again. Sometimes the rebound process can take weeks and all prior gains lost. It often means having to rebuild momentum from scratch.
The only solution I've managed to ponder is figuring out how best to sustain momentum and ensure the cycle doesn't break. So far there is nothing that I've really managed to hold off a long stretch so the momentum sustains infinitely. It always breaks at some point, and rather than getting back on the proverbial horse, I always delay until it dissipates completely.
I don't need to be an expert to know that some discipline is lacking in my life. There are times when I look back and wonder how differently things would have played out in certain areas with a bit more consistency. Sadly, my struggles with inconsistency have persisted into my 30s and so far have been lifelong.
As I work towards building back momentum for some of my goals I am reminded that the same results awaits me if nothing changes. Where it becomes necessary the intervention of discipline to either stem the tide or prevent a diversion has to come in. Every time I remind myself of what's necessary, but perhaps more than a reminder is needed. Action after all speak louder than imagination.
(Speaking generally, nothing personal) It is always your choice. To not do something, to slacken, is a choice too. Many times an easier one !LOLZ
On the other hand, you don't need to prove anything to anybody. Expect to yourself, if you feel like it.
I know it's not helpful but .. everything is a matter of priorities.
So, decide to do something and stick to it, every day. 🤞
