A Man in Progress

Pressing the Reset Button

No matter how much discipline you have, there will come a time when motivation just isn’t there for you.

Of course, these times are one reason we like to build good habits.  It doesn’t take much motivation to just keep doing what you do. 

Still, at some point, we all face one of those ruts that sucks up all of our energy.  So what do you do?

Hit Reset.

Take a week to relax.  Eat what you want.  Sleep however much, or little, you want.  Don’t do anything unless you really really want to.  Even let your routine (and all of your good habits) go.  For seven full days just let it all go.  Then, one week later, see how you feel.  Get back into your routine and get back to work and see how that feels.

I just took a reset, and I felt awful, but after that week I had renewed my motivation to achieve my goals (and had taken the opportunity to reevaluate them as well).  It was worth the temporary sacrifice. 

When did you last take a reset?
