#424 No rush, less haste, more space

Daily practice without the pressure of daily perfection.

Consistency without guilt when you fall off the bandwagon once in a while.

Doing activities that make you feel good about yourself, not guilty.

That’s what a sustainably healthy life looks like.

We all have the ability to decide what’s good for us when we take the time to reflect on it.

But we also overestimate our ability to decide what’s good for us in the moment.

Which means that we all need to be saved from ourselves.

How?

By deciding in advance.

I’m going to write, because I decided in advance that that’s good for me – even if in the moment, I’d rather do something else.

I’m going to eat those vegetables, because I decided in advance that that’s good for me – even if in the moment, I’d rather eat those fries.
