Momentum

This time of year there’s almost a pressure, to “take it easy” and “indulge”. Yesterday, I realized I don’t enjoy this. At least not in excess. And not at the cost of lost momentum. Christmas is important. The year would probably feel completely flat otherwise. But I’d rather take a break when I feel accomplished. Bullying myself into taking a break doesn’t feel rejuvenating. Maybe it’s force of habit that’s keeping me typing instead of connecting. Or maybe I can see that it’s going to be easier in the long run if I keep things ticking over.

Momentum is like rolling a rock up a hill. It’s never easy. But if you stop and the rock starts rolling backwards it gets much harder.

Doing things daily has a funny way of making it seem effortless after X amount of time has passed. X is not an easy prediction is, but it is dependent on the activity, difficulty and resistance. But six months ago Morning Pages were a tremendous chore, now they’re effortless.
