Another part of forming habits is being ok with slipping. Improvement is a process. It took me long time to stop beating myself up whenever I slip up and don't do something for days or weeks, and start just being OK with starting over getting in the habit of doing something new. Eventually it sticks, or I find something else that works better for me to get the result I want. "I'm playing life on hard mode, sometimes I need to replay a level"
Hi, I have built some good habits the last 4 months, but then something happens, you know; life. I have to work for longer hours, or I have to go away for a week, or lots if setbacks need attention ASAP, and suddenly all my habits are just... gone! And I have a hard time getting back to them! How do I get faster back on track after a whirlwind?
