Renew

Repetition creates perfection, but at the same time, it creates monotony. The repetition of habits will turn you into a master but to be a master you must be able to continue making progress. Habits are great, yes, but they do have their fallbacks. When you practice the same habits over time, there is no creativity, no reinvention. You are simply doing the same thing over and over again. Your imagination and creativity has been depleted and you start to get bored. The only thing keeping you going is the end goal. To combat this, we must make things new again. How can you renew old habits? Let’s find out.


Reviving the drive to accomplish is not an easy thing to do. It requires effort and when effort is required, things are less likely to get done. That is why it is so easy to continue doing a habit that you have been doing for a long time; there is no change in effort. Rather than changing the effort you are putting in by adding more to your current habits, it is much easier to change your environment or your process. 


The easier change is the change of environment. Changing your environment simply means rearranging, adding to, or switching your current environment. By changing your domain you can refresh your mind. Simply daily changes will allow you to create a fresher workplace while continuing to practice the same habits and not get bored.


Changing your process means changing your routine. This means practicing the same habits but remodeling the way you do them. This could mean changing the order that you do things each day. Changing the routine every single day is not the best idea because your body is unable to really form a routine then, but changing your routine every couple weeks or months may help renew some energy. 


A process can also be changed through addition. Pairing an activity while doing certain actions may help make them more entertaining. For example, listening to a new album while journaling may allow your brain to find more ideas (this is what I do daily). Incorporate new activities around your old activities to make them new.


Refreshing the way you do work and the place you do work will help renew your ambition to do work. Rediscover your drive to get things done by making simple changes to your daily patterns.

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
