Habits


Five days without coffee!  This is turning out to be a bit harder than I thought.  I miss the sound of my grinder with the feel of my ear muffs on my head (it’s a loud grinder) and waking up to the smell of fresh brewed coffee in the morning.  I’ve caught myself a couple of times, ready to order a coffee or grind some beans and with disappointment, reach for the tea bags or ask for a hot chocolate instead (definitely with a pout on my face). 

 It’s amazing how easy something can become a habit.  A person continues to repeatedly do something over and over until it becomes routine and part of their life.  When a person steps out of routine it’s easy to feel lost, like something is missing and incomplete.  Like having a cup (or 2) of coffee in the morning, when a person makes their training a part of their daily routine,  it becomes something you look forward to, something you enjoy and something you need to complete your day.  Plain and simple, it becomes a way of life and part of who you are. 

Making wise choices as to the things we decide to make habit and routine in our lives should be a priority. Everything from what we choose to eat, the words that we speak, how we spend our time, the time given to our training, and the list goes on, all help develop us into the people we become.
