Life is Nothing But a Series of Habits
It’s all about making them work for you
Next time you get out of the shower pay attention to how you dry yourself off. I bet you will notice (if you haven’t already) that you will dry off your body in the same systematic pattern each time. Even which arm you dry first will likely always be the same. For me, I start with my left shoulder. This is a habit- whether you realize it or not, and even though it’s not what we typically think of.
In fact, everything in life is a habit in some shape or form.
Most people tend to go to bed around the same time at night and wake up the same time in the morning. You can be in the habit of drinking coffee in the morning, working out in the evening, not replying to text messages right away, playing on your phone before bed, going to church on Sunday, or stretching before you exercise.
Everything thing you do from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep is powered by a habit in some way.
If you will be living in the pattern of habits anyway, why not let them work for you?
