I've learned that when I can't stick to my schedule often enough, something needs to change – either my schedule, or me!! Sometimes the schedule I create for myself isn't fully compatible with my life or the natural direction of my personality and strengths. Because of this, I spend a lot of time tweaking my Fabulous routines and habits. I know I've hit gold when a routine challenges me to change and improve, yet I'm excited about the process and look forward to checking off those boxes. There will still be rough days when I miss habits, but when I'm doing it right, those days are infrequent. On the other hand, sometimes when I miss a lot of boxes on my schedule it's not the fault of my habits – it's because I'm not making the effort to change, or nudging myself out of my comfort zone. I can tell that's the case when my routines are of a manageable length, and full of habits I want to create in my life, but I catch myself hitting the "snooze" or "close" button and going back to whatever else I'm doing. At times like that, I need to make a decision. Do I want to choose to stay stagnant where I am, doing the same things I've been doing? Or do I really want to let bright changes into my life, and craft a stronger, happier, more peaceful, more accomplished self? When I put it like that, there's really only one answer!! I've come to accept that some aspects of the change I desire will be a long process – my bad habits or psychological scars have been with me a long time, and it makes sense that they probably won't heal overnight. But what a wonderful feeling when I find myself eagerly jumping up to follow a routine that used to be a battle for me!! I've had several experiences like that in the last 7 months that I've been using Fabulous, and I can say the struggle is 100% WORTH IT. The main thing I've learned is to be gentle with myself – I've added the "Show Compassion" habit to my routines, and more often than not it's a reminder to be compassionate with MYSELF throughout this process of becoming the best me I can be!<\/div>\n<\/div>
