Good morning.

This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is to try not to miss twice.

Good habits can be tough to form,

but maintaining them is an even bigger challenge. We all fall into traps that prevent

us from making progress. One common one. If you slip up and miss a day, all of your progress is somehow ruined or less valuable.

You're a failure. So why try? What's the point?

But of course this stark thinking is ridiculous. Six days of

healthy eating is great, even if the seventh featured a lot of cheesecake.

Two weeks of walking every day don't suddenly disappear just

because you got really busy. Instead, try a different rule. Don't miss twice. If you sleep in and skip your morning run for example, well no big deal.

Forgive yourself immediately. Don't sweat it. But then do everything possible to make sure you don't miss the next day.

You keep the momentum of a good habit going, while giving yourself grace for the times when life doesn't go as planned.

Of course, planning can still help.
