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?
