By now many of us have a sound knowledge of various good habits, the process of forming these habits, tracking and sustaining these habits ! Majority of this knowledge was developed through self, structured learning and practices over a couple of years. How many of us still diligently practice, actually perform all these which were once impactful habits.
As a part of introduction of every new team of mine, I ask the members to explicitly state what they do other than their regular work.
I do cycling over weekends, sometimes…
I used to do yoga everyday…
I am a trained in carnatic, I used to sing everyday…
I love to write tamil poetry..
When specifically asked, do they do regularly, the answer is a mix of yes and no with no being the majority.
However when we casually start a topic on habits in a social forum, there is a surge of information overdose by all participants talking about their knowledge of yoga, meditation, fitness, dieting, writing et al. Ironically, the fly on every participant’s wall quietly asks “ Seriously ?! are you doing any of these now diligently ?!
How good would this be when put to practice again with a renewed vigor, coupled with an intent to just “do” without falling into paralysis of analysis of how and when.
You were doing once and you liked it and what is stopping from resuming? without attempting to answer this, why not hit Restart? Now!
