The sun still rises and birds still migrate south. If there's a disruption, I just have to get back up and keep up with time!

This is definitely a lesson we all have to learn, it is very easy to give up on things. “If all fails, start the habit again, the right way.” This is definitely a lesson we all have to learn, it is very easy to give up on things.

Accept, adappt and go back. Yeah, you need a system of goals and organizing as a reference but life is dynamic and so should you. Accept, adappt and go back.

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:39:27 +0000 http://zenhabits.net/?p=2745#comment-62429 So true Leo... life happens and always will, but that is no excuse for (re)starting our goals. I think the idea of small incremental goals help us with the start and stop process. Borrowing generically from your marathon training... if I have a mileage target for each week but have to take 2 weeks off for a life event then I can simply restart at a level 1 or 2 weeks prior to my having to suspend training. A good plan will have built in lags or slower times and you can use those to catch up. Thanks for removing yet another excuse from our seeming never ending supply!

I am late on commenting like everyone else I have a busy life. I have struggled since the birth of my son to find time to follow my goals and sleep deprivation (which everyone now acknowledges as a form of torture) does not help. I have learnt a lot about myself but I couldn't have done this without my partner. I have now made time for exercise. I now get up before my son (this was unimaginable 5 months ago but he is now sleeping more so I am sleeping more) and go cycling. My partner is still sleeping soundly like my son so I am able to take this time. I can't believe the effects of exercise. I feel more positive, have more energy and have time to think. I have kept it up even when I have had little sleep. I had a disruption this week when some ************** idiot stole my bike but I put a message on the staff intranet and got myself a cheap second hand replacement. I have just been cycling in the rain and feel great. Jon you will get a routine back - as someone who loves sleep you must promise your partner a chance to catch up on their sleep or chosen activities. When my husband does this he his rewarded!!

Somehow this sentence woke me up with a jolt. It's made me remember how to get excited again for my goals, even to act just "as if" at the start. And now, I'm into them again ~ with passion and joy! Thank you. Been reading zenhabits for a long time now, and i just want to say, Leo, you and your guest writers are awesome and you make a diiference in people's lives. I've bought your books from Amazon, and can't wait for them to arrive! Bev Sace Always remember your motivation, and get excited.
