Horses Are Creature of Habit
I'm going to be feeding late tonight because I have a late afternoon appointment. It's okay because some experts say it's good not to keep horses on a tight feeding schedule so they don't anticipate food and get pushy at meal time. I'm thankful that my herd isn't like that. They simply go to their bucket and wait. Except..when I'm late.

Wie Du erfolgreich Deep Reading als Habit etablieren kannst
"... ein Zustand des vertieften, konzentrierten Lesens, der weit über das schnelle Erfassen von Informationen hinausgeht. Deep Reading ist ein Habit, den man wie alle #Habits trainieren kann. Drei konkrete Strategien haben mir geholfen, diesen Zustand regelmässig zu erreichen."

I am still struggling sometimes even to relearn to stop #awesomelandscapes
To many years on the road in tourbiz (with bands) i guess #habits #mindset And there is always so much more to see/miss...
Was different back in the 80s... motorcycle, simple bags, didn't matter/care which way/place next day i'd go...
Hope to get back to the highlands sometime.

I am finally getting down to business (other than unpacking, cleaning, chasing up awaited deliveries and sorting out delivery issues with various shops) and this new dwelling is finally ‘feeling’ like my abode and no one else’s.
I have a tonne of good #habits to get back into, like daily #callisthenics, #walk/jog, #TaiChi, #meditation, #martial arts training (including study), music (#Guitar - poor thing has been lonely for so long), riding my #motorbike, and #cooking (the healthy kind). So much to get on with and to enjoy. And let’s not forget: Picking UP my #writing (RayPierreLeonard.wordpress.com) - that’s also been held in abeyance for far too long.
Today I restarted callisthenics, later I will have time to do some TaiChi. With so many things I wish to do, I am tempted to set up a weekly plan so as not to get lazy (or too busy) again… I don’t know. I’ll see how I go for a while.
Anyways enjoy your day folks, it’s never going to come around again.
Micro-Habits: Kleine Routinen, grosse Wirkung?
Minimaler Aufwand, langfristiger Effekt – das ist die Idee hinter Micro #Habits. Doch wie wirksam sind diese wirklich?
Wissenschaftlich belegt: Gratitude Journalling steigert nachweislich Lebenszufriedenheit (Emmons & McCullough, 2003). Auch Selbstmitgefühl (Self-Compassion) hilft, Stress und negative Gedanken zu reduzieren (Neff & Germer, 2013).
Plausibel, aber wenig erforscht: Kurze Naturpausen (Micro Nature Breaks) könnten helfen, geistige Erschöpfung zu reduzieren – doch es fehlen spezifische Studien. Ähnlich verhält es sich mit dem Two-Minute Tidy: Eine ordentliche Umgebung fördert die Konzentration, aber ob zwei Minuten genügen, ist unklar.
Erfolgsfaktor Gewohnheitsbildung: Laut Lally et al. (2010) dauert es durchschnittlich 66 Tage, bis eine neue Routine zur festen Gewohnheit wird. Entscheidend ist die regelmässige Integration in den Alltag.

Resistance thoughts #1
If I ever decide to get into tagging for freedom, I need to be careful. I have a history* with spray paint, and it could come back to haunt me.
"We place you at the scene of the spray painted 'Fuck Trump and Musk With A Large Baloney' on the police station."
Officer, that's ridiculous! Anyone could have done that.
"Yeah, the spray paint was, let's see.... DIY Home Architect Aged Bronze Patio Patina. You have the right to remain silent"
[*history of using it to spray paint weird things in my garage]
Streaks are meaningless to me, perhaps I have too many interests ? There’s no way I could get to everything important to me every day. Am I the only one who feels like the “don’t break your streak” isn’t really all that motivating?
I journal most days. I exercise most days. I practice music most days. Whether I do them everyday or not seems irrelevant.
