I hate this. You think you’ve got a good streak going and have been doing well for weeks and weeks, then something interrupts the pattern for a day or three…and it’s like trying to start from scratch all over again.
I know but then it’s so easy to give up, and even if you don’t, the next time something slightly disturbs the balance, such as it being Thursday, you need to achieve a monumental life changing effort again just to do the exact same thing you did for months…? And the crazy thing is that even experts on the subject don’t seem to understand going “it’ll get easier just keep at it” my sister in Christmas, I am fourty freaking years old I don’t think I’ll suddenly be able to not randomly forget brushing my teeth
Life is just a loop of scrambling to be stable, struggling to maintain it, then inevitably falling back to square one when something knocks you out of the routine.

Best part is when there isn’t anything that interrupts, but you just forget the habit
It’s so fucking hard.

I feel this in my soul.
