It’s nice that you mentioned the “clean your room” advice. Years ago, I had a morning routine, but when I moved to a different home, it completely disrupted me. I became somewhat irresponsible, and that’s when I decided to start doing jumping jacks in the morning.
Why was it good? Because it made me feel in control of my mornings again. Being human is a double-edged sword: you can simply follow the flow of life and end up in a bad situation, or you can deliberately find your own flow, which is obviously harder, but leads to a better place.
As humans, we naturally seek order, but perhaps the better thing we can do is learn to navigate chaos and even turn it into something orderly. There is a sense of accomplishment the brain experiences when someone moves through chaos and learns to dance in the presence of the storm.
Great post! It's tempting to set massive goals, especially when you're feeling motivated. But I'm a big believer in starting small. I like how you framed it around the prevalence of instant gratification now - it's a good take.
Instant gratification has taken on a new form.
