Keeping a good habit

It’s hard to keep a good habit. We need to build it over a long period of time but it takes a short time to stop it.

A good analogy was using lip balm during winter. I used it for the first three days when I reached US. However, afterwards, I let go that good habit due to various reasons such as rushing to the conference site. At the end I only remember about it several days later when my lip started to crack. What a pity. I know that I don’t like using lip balm. But finally I convinced myself that I don’t like it but I can stand it. I don’t have to like it but it is rational to use it. After all the efforts to do in the initial days, I started to let it go.

Likewise is about this writing. It was not easy to encourage myself to write. But nowadays I started to let it go. I still remembered that during the last long trip in June, I still keep the habit of writing even when I was traveling. In fact, I wrote down a list of topic on what to write that I can continue later on whenever I am free. It is a pity if now I don’t write down immediately on the possible topic to write. It’s almost two weeks of traveling and there are so many interesting points that I have learned. Although it’s difficult, let’s continue again on the habit of writing 5 mins a day.
