Letting go of habits...
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2008 8:24 pm
I like to take exercise classes, but the ones I go to often have long breaks between one class and the next. So, over the holidays (a particularly long stretch), I developed the 15-minutes of exercise habit.
Exercise classes have started now, and I've upped my routine a bit. For a while, I was holding on the the 15 minutes... but. It makes my morning more hectic. It was great during the break, but feels unnecessary at this point.
So I'm going to drop it - at least on days I do any other exercise.
A part of me feels relieved, and a part regretful. It was hard work to create this habit, and now I'm throwing it away? On the other hand, it's served its purpose. I'll come back to it during the next break.
Anyone else have thoughts about letting go of habits?
