What’s better than a new habit?

Sarah and I recently evaluated our morning routines.

Mine seemed dull. I felt stuck.

I reflected back to a time when mornings felt more purposeful. The abandoned habit of reading an inspiring book for 15-minutes each morning resurfaced in my mind.

It used to be a vital part of jump-starting my day.

Over time, I let distractions edge this practice out of my routine.

I adopted the belief that starting work 15-minutes earlier was the better choice.

That lie (like all lies do) took its toll.

The illusion of efficiency was costing me effectiveness and encouragement…a price higher than I was willing to pay.

Thought-provoking, soul-awakening reading made it back to my morning menu.

The solution to reviving my work wasn’t finding a fancy new habit.

It was regaining the momentum of a trusted pattern from the past.

What old habit deserves an invitation back into your life?
