“Habit is necessary; it is the
habit of having habits, of turning a trail into a rut that must be incessantly
fought against if one is to remain alive”- Edith Wharton
I
read this quote last week and immediately remembered a series of three posts I
wrote about eating cookies and failing. Those three posts rank as some of my
favorites.
Habits
are nice if they are good habits. BUT
unfortunately we also tend to build bad habits.
Some are so instinctive that we do not even realize we are doing
them. It is the lizard brain in us.
I
have a bad habit of tearing the skin above my nails when I am stressed out of. Most times I am not even aware that I am
doing it. At times it is so bad that I
have to put a band-aid on my finger because I am causing myself pain. The band-aid serves as a way for me to
preventing the “trail into a rut”.
Today’s
question is:
“What is your band-aid?”
