What HAPPENS IF YOU JUST KEEP GOING?
Bad Habits Never Really Disappear
Some say it takes 21 days to build a habit.
Others say 30. Or 69 (hehe). Or 100.
No one really knows.
Because habits don’t switch on like a light.
They don’t replace your old ones.
Most of the time, your bad habits don’t disappear—they lie dormant.
Waiting…
For you to eat a meal off-plan
An argument with your partner
A shit night’s sleep
A scale that didn’t go down
A day when you can’t be arsed and decide you’re a failure
You can build better habits.
But don’t expect to overwrite your old ones with a few good weeks.
To remove every bad habit, you’d have to become the perfect person.
I come pretty bloody close, but that’s for another day.
Starting again makes you feel like you’re back on track.
It gives you just enough of a dopamine hit to think you’re making progress.
And to be fair, talking about progress is still better than giving up completely.
But don’t mistake the high of starting again for actually doing the thing.
Following through sounds great, until you realise it’s not just for when you’re about to poop yourself.
The real work is never in starting again.
It’s in not quitting.
You got this…
No.
Most of the time, you haven’t got this.
Relentlessly quitting and starting again takes a part of you with it.
Each time, you drift further from your goals — imagined or not.
All you can do is hope you make peace with never reaching them.
The habit of starting over every Monday?
That’s the one worth letting go.

Notice how many times you’ve restarted.

What would’ve happened if I’d just kept going?
Time will pass anyway.
On the next one: Falling in love with maintenance—and why chasing constant change is keeping you stuck.
