Oneof the aspects of my life, of everyday life, is the
custom
. I do more or less the same things all the time, I have roughly the same schedule, and I manage to fit various interests into the twenty-four hours of a day without taking too much time away from sleep, which is the least profi cient activity of all but which actually .
Is the most important one
.
There, said like that, it would sound like a discreetly boring life without any change. Maybe it actually is, but I don’t see it that way at all; on the contrary. The fact is that the word habit that I used at the beginning of this article is a word that can have negative meaning, if we interpret it as “
habit
“, or even worse, “
flattening
“.
Actually, maybe I should have used another term: constancy.
Now that’s a good word, huh?
Ghemon
says that “perseverance is the water that pierces any matter,” and he is right, because slowly, by persevering, you will achieve the results you seek. Easy huh? Far from it.
CHANGE YOUR WAY OF THINKING
To put it bluntly, this constancy thing seems to be a relatively simple thing to implement. It is actually very complicated and time-consuming to be able to organize and fit everything together. It is not just a matter of motivation; in fact, in this case motivation has little to do with it, and for once it should be left in the corner, because constancy is not just motivation. They complement each other,
they complement each other
, but
Are not interchangeable
.
When you’re tired from a hard day and you still go out for a run, or when you know you won’t be able to reach a goal you set but you still do the workout you had planned, it’s not motivation that makes you take the first step, but consistency.
If you look at it superficially, you might think of constancy as a
have to do
something, but that is a wrong point of view, because constancy is the
want to do
. The nice thing is that being tied to wanting to do and not having to do, sometimes we can even allow ourselves to take a break, to take a break, without failing in our habit of opening article. We simply make those changes that allow us to.
adapt
, to rest our body and get it to recover so that we can start again with more energy in the following days.
The rush of wanting to improve and the search for quick results do not go well with constancy, and this is what we should focus on and
Changing our way of thinking
. Because – I hadn’t said this yet –
constancy is judged over long periods of time
, not on the single day, and we should always let it go in the company of another good word :
patience
