Embrace the power of routine from "summary" of Slight Edge by Jeff Olson
The power of routine is something that most people tend to overlook. It may seem insignificant at first, but over time, these small, daily actions can compound into something much greater. By embracing routine, you are essentially setting yourself up for success without even realizing it.
Think about it this way: when you consistently do something every day, whether it's reading for 10 minutes, exercising, or meditating, you are creating a habit. And habits, my friend, are powerful tools that can either work for you or against you. If you make a habit of doing positive things every day, no matter how small, you are setting yourself up for success in the long run.
On the other hand, if you make a habit of negative behaviors, such as procrastinating, eating unhealthy foods, or not exercising, you are setting yourself up for failure. It's all about the compound effect - the small actions you take today will eventually add up and determine your future.
The key to harnessing the power of routine is to start small. Don't overwhelm yourself with trying to make drastic changes all at once. Instead, focus on implementing one small positive habit at a time. Once that habit becomes ingrained in your daily routine, you can move on to adding another positive habit.
Remember, success is not about making huge leaps and bounds in a short amount of time. It's about making consistent, positive choices every day, no matter how small they may seem. So, embrace the power of routine and watch as your life transforms before your very eyes.
