The weekly reset

So there’s a reason I update this blog every Sunday, it’s because it’s a perfect day for taking a reboot for the week.  And a reboot is necessary.  Or at the very least, a reflection.

Humans, and all animals, operate on cycles.  That means we tend to do the same thing over and over and become creatures of habit.  But, humans are also conscious, and we can make decisions to override our habits, which is often much easier said than done.  Providing a day each week to assess our habits and decisions related to them provides a means for our subconscious connections fighting those habits to become stronger.  I typically find myself very good at overriding a bad habit early in the week, followed by slowly slipping back into it later in the week.  And that’s why the reboot is important, I get slightly stronger fighting it each week.

Second reason the reboot each week is important is to stay on task.  It’s easy to get distracted during the week and lose sight of our goals, but a rewrite of goals, even if it’s just a copy/past from the year before is essential in being strong for the week to come.
