"People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent." —-Bob Dylan”

Modern society is optimized for convenience and the hectic pace of modern life is one of the reasons convenience drives most of the daily decisions we make. Although modern conveniences like cars and remote controls make life easier in many ways, they also encourage a more sedentary lifestyle that can negatively impact our health, longevity and well-being. Also, seeking ease in life for its own sake can unintentionally lead to feeling unhealthy, complacent, isolated and unfulfilled. We often default to the most convenient choice whether it’s how we spend our time, where or how we shop or what we choose to eat without considering alternatives that may be better for us in the long run---but, what are we giving up by automatically choosing the most convenient options?

When we’re hungry, we often choose the food that is most convenient (and probably less healthy) at that moment (i.e. grub hub delivery) instead of actually getting up and visiting a cafe’, restaurant or grocery store. Eating healthier often requires planning and meal preparation time which forces us to trade some time and convenience for better nutrition, better health and better quality of life in return. Convenience certainly makes life easier in many ways but it doesn’t necessarily make life better.

Onward and upward.

We’ve all been there ... you’re trying to eat healthier, but that delicious piece of candy is crying out to you, “Eat me! Eat me!” So what do you do? Chalk it up as a mistake and jump back onto the healthy food wagon? NO! Most people rationalize with something like, “Well, since I’ve already slipped, I may as well enjoy my mistake, right? How bad could it be?” Before you know it, you’re knee-deep in empty ice cream buckets and pizza boxes after a weekend of binge eating.

This trend toward exception unfortunately not only applies to eating, but also to the rest of your life and your real estate business. “I’ll follow up on those leads later,” you think (or tomorrow, or next week/month etc.). Anyway, I think you get where I’m going here. The problem is that willpower doesn’t have an on/off switch. It’s like a muscle. It can be strengthened, but it can also wear out and get fatigued.

The key is to do your best not to take the first step in the wrong direction and, if and when you do (believe me, you will ... I certainly do), to get your ass back up and get going in the right direction as soon as possible! The longer you linger, the harder it will be to right the ship. Don’t let a minor slip turn into an avalanche where you slide backward over the cliff. Everyone experiences some form of habit regression periodically — so what? No big deal. Don’t dilly dally, get back on course as soon as possible, and you’ll be fine!

Onward and upward!
