I’m taking a week off from writing my blog posts. I don’t need the time off, I’m just doing it because I’m cutting away most of the technology and social media in my life for the next seven days.
When I started writing these posts in late 2019, I did not honestly believe that I would stick with daily writing for more than a few days, maybe a month at most.
But, it’s become a habit. It’s become part of my morning routine. I just do it now.
Three years ago taking a week off would have been the death blow to this little daily writing habit, but today I am 100% confident that I’ll be right back to writing come Monday, May 23rd. Cultivating good habits is hard work and requires changes that sting, but the result is calm confidence that feels akin to the most soothing massage or calming beach vacation you can imagine.
