Day 251 - Crossing the habit chasm https://golifelog.com/posts/crossing-the-habit-chasm-1631067311312
There’s always this point along a habit formation journey that you know you had crossed, when the habit finally sticks.
I think I just crossed it for my daily marketing habit.
Weird thing is, I’d been doing marketing for a few months now. It didn’t feel like it stuck. But once I committed to #100daysofmarketing, something began to shift.
I believe what was really happening beneath it all was an identity shift. All the inner fighting, the resistance, was the old self fighting against discomfort and change. Growth always feels painful, initially.
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding." ~ Kahlil Gibran
And the catalyst that brought about this identity shift was the looming challenge of doing something every day for 100 days. Only a big enough challenge could have brought about the requisite amount of discomfort and stress...
Someone reminded me today, that watching yourself grow is a beautiful sight. Taking a moment today, with this post, to be grateful for the journey and the growth.
