“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” “Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement”
James Clear
The one mistake we often make is to sleepwalk in the name of living. Mostly unnoticed, unaware.
Sleepwalk could be many things: Passively scrolling, scouring, vulturing on social media. Movies. Soaps. Youtube videos. Porns. Impulsive shopping. Wishful thinking. Bitching. Sleeping (or to be precise — pretending to sleep in the name of taking rest). We might as well give it a puff if we smoke. We might as well go partying, drinking if we’re outgoing.
Let’s be honest — we’ve all been there.
We’ve all wasted, we’ve all wearied ourselves a little more, a little less, a little too much exploiting, overspending, undervaluing the only non-renewable currency — Time!
Well, now we know, let’s change that :-
Let’s try to be as much unpredictable.
More demanding of time.
Challenge(s) hungry.
Pain thirsty.
Always grinding but enjoying the restfulness too.
Disciplined. However, at times throw ourselves into healthy recklessness that is good for our mind and spirit
Deliberately awaresome of our choices.
Purposeful.
Responsible.
Lastly, as in the words of James Clear, “The best way to break a bad habit is to make it impossible to do. And the best way to create a good habit is to automate it so you never have to think about it again.”
Let’s try to automate our life bit by bit, step-by-step.
No pressure.
Not tomorrow.
Namaste.
