​47. 

If you were to live the exact same day you had today, for the next 5 years -  would you enjoy it?

​We know that our daily lives today are a result of habits we have consistently built in the past.
Say, this blog for example, bringing it into reality was a byproduct of creating a daily routine of writing every single day, no exceptions and not allowing mood or daily tasks to get in the way.

So imagine living today on repeat for the next five years. Would you be content or restless?
A question like this forces us to evaluate our daily habits and choices.

• Daily reflection point: Are my actions aligned with my goals?
• Growth over discomfort: Will doing this grow me or stagnate me?
• Small over big leap: Albeit small, does this move me forward?

I think very often we choose our habits based on what we think our schedule needs. But taking a sanity-check on some of the habits and staying persistent with the small but significant change is what moves the needle.

So back to the question - could you live exactly this life in 5 years from now? And the answer might as well be - yes. But if the answer is not inspiring to you, it may be time to rethink the small choices you make daily.

I like that. Can you give me some research on habits?
    Yes, great choice, let us dive into that…
