Habits are like puzzle pieces.🧩
Last week my son and I finished a jigsaw.
Corners first. Then edges. Then the messy middle.
It struck me: building habits follows the same pattern.
These are my 3️⃣ tidbits to ponder over:
1️⃣ Corners = core habits
Sleep. Movement. Reflection. Nutrition.
Put these in first, and everything else falls into place.
2️⃣ Edges = boundaries
The habits that quietly protect you.
Like saying no. Logging off. Protecting time with people who matter.
They don’t get applause, but they shape your whole life.
3️⃣ Middle = patience
The messy habits that feel slow and awkward.
But once they click, momentum builds and the picture emerges.
👉 But here’s the part most people miss:
Your habits don’t just fill in the pieces.
They create the picture.
And sometimes, without realising it, you’ve been building the wrong one.
Thought Provoking Quotes on this week’s topic
Louisa May Alcott
A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.
Charles Duhigg
Change might not be fast and it isn’t always easy. But with time and effort, almost any habit can be reshaped.
