For future me.
Habits are not just random things you do. What you do makes you.
They come from the same place anything meaningful comes from - time and repetition. Some are your preferences and come from within. Some are forced due to circumstances, survival, expectations and necessities.
Over time, the distinction between ‘what you do’ and ‘who you are’ vanishes. Which is precisely why any chance of change is too difficult to fathom. It almost feels paradoxical to change your habits.
Habits are good or bad in relation to the outcomes you deem non-negotiable. The choice to change is then a tricky one.
But if you have decided then what are the next steps? Playbook? Guide? You can prepare, read and take your shot but unfortunately, all of it boils down to a few decisive moments.
Everything else is theater.
The hardest part though is not the initial break. It is the strong pull back to the baseline once the novelty vanishes. And ultimately it is the desire for the outcome. Put simply - how badly do you want it.
The moment is now. The choice is yours.
