Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio.
Good morning. This is Laura.
Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.
Today's tip is that you can always quit tomorrow.
If there is a new commitment, goal, or habit that you thought you wanted to pursue, but now feel inclined to abandon, consider staying with it one more day.
You can always quit tomorrow, but if you stick with it today, you might find you can stick with it for the long haul.
When a habit, routine, or commitment is fairly new, it can feel hard to keep going.
you haven't figured out all the logistics you can't necessarily get in the flow maybe you wanted to work out in the mornings but every morning it is a struggle to get out of bed and it's a struggle to breathe 10 minutes into your spin class or maybe you wanted to read Shakespeare every day and get through
all his plays by the end of the year but by the time the kids are in bed and the dishes are done all you want to do is veg on the couch with your partner.
In moments like these when your new commitment seems hard you may be tempted to give up.
After all you haven't been going that long anyway.
Who cares if you abandon a routine that isn't actually established.
But maybe you can hang on one more day.
Tomorrow you can curl up on the couch and watch Netflix if you really want to, but tonight you have a date with William Shakespeare.
You are not going to stand him up.
By delaying quitting by one day, you give yourself one more chance to figure out how to make your new commitment work.
You develop a little more momentum.
Maybe you will decide to quit the next day, but maybe tomorrow you will decide to defer the decision to quit for another day, again.
And some days you won't even consider quitting.
After more and more practice, you may begin to feel like your new habit or your goal pursuit isn't that hard.
Now it is possible that you will eventually decide to quit or modify the goal.
Basically everything does end in time.
But it is also possible that you will fulfill the commitment one more time, day after day, until you have forgotten about your desire to quit.
You will have built the strategies and momentum to sustain your habit for the long term.
I will admit that I sometimes feel like quitting while building new habits.
I just got through a busy weekend and it was hard to carve out a few minutes to read my 10 pages of Jane Austen.
One day in particular, I couldn't get to it until nighttime, even though this is technically supposed to be part of my morning routine.
And alas, the first page I was reading wasn't one of Austen's best.
I started bargaining with myself.
Maybe just one page or two.
That keeps the streak going at least, right?
And it would. But after reading two or three pages, I figured, well, this is only going to take me a few more minutes.
I may as well keep reading.
I can just read today and maybe tomorrow will be better.
And you know what? It was.
And so I am still going with the habit.
You can always quit tomorrow.
And if you keep thinking that, you'll get through a lot of tomorrows, and maybe not quit anytime soon, after all.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
