S3 Ep02 - Building Sustainable Habits
Zen Habits Podcast
Embrace Setbacks as Opportunities
Anticipate setbacks as part of the habit-forming process to develop resilience. When missing a day, recognize it as a normal occurrence rather than a failure, acknowledging that this can lead to discouragement if not mentally prepared. Build an anti-fragile mindset by being flexible with expectations about habit performance. When a disruption occurs, simplify the re-initiation of the habit by reducing its scope—if you typically engage in a 30-minute practice but miss a day, do 20 minutes, then 10, and so on. This approach emphasizes the importance of starting again easily and maintaining momentum, regardless of interruptions.
