1 more step, 5 more minutes
Before you give up, just take 1 more step.
Story time.
I have 2 rules for myself: post visuals daily and make something every day.
It’s 2.52am as I write this. I almost went to sleep without making a visual for the day. Now I’m glad I forced myself to try even though it’s been a demoralising and depressing 2 weeks.
Because every day is an opportunity to cast a vote for who we want to be.
If I gave in, I would weaken my identity as someone who tries to make something daily.
And I would have reinforced the belief that I’m a person who gives in.
If you have a commitment or goal, you’ll often be tempted to give in.
In the moment of weakness, take 1 more step, persist for 5 more minutes or decide you’ll quit at another time (instead of right now).
Because the weakness is often momentary.
And you’ll be glad you persisted.
