I Wanted To Post Yesterday And That's Why I Didn't
I gotta say... last night I really had this urge to login and make a post before I went to bed.
And THAT'S exactly why I knew I should NOT - and did not - do that.
You see in my life... I've learned that we (humans) create chains for ourselves without even meaning to.
And one of those ways is with "a streak" as in a series of actions over time.
Don't take that the wrong way... I definitely believe consistency and discipline are very important!
If it was a huge challenge for me to post every day for a month, for example, then I believe that is exactly what I should strive to do until I was able to do it.
BUT... there is another part of this.
And that is EGO... that wonderful ego always shows up when humans are doing... anything. 😅
What happens is... as I do something every day... I am building that streak. And I'm creating a chain on myself.
That chain is the need to not break the streak.
That nagging that says "I cannot miss a day! Or the streak will be broken and all that I have done will have been ruined!" 🤔😅
So, I intentionally BROKE the streak.
And now it's done. I missed a day in my blogging.
I can no longer say "I've posted every day!".
And that's a beautiful thing. 😊
Because blogging should be serving me, not me serving it. 😃
