20230601 An Impatient Man Preaches Patience for Developing New Habits

I am not a patient man. Never have been.

It occurs to me that my lack of patience stems from the lack of value I put on time, but rather on special moments in time. Maybe my impatience is my desire to get through the boring bits in between, and get to the precious moments.

I'm working on a new daily habit of spine maintenance exercises so I don't go through this awful back pain again. I know what I need, and I want it NOW.

But, if I start doing it too soon, I extend my convalescence. And even after I've begun, it's a matter of weeks and months to get the new habit ingrained.

But...I'm not a patient man, and I want it NOW.

Too bad, Andrew. Patience.
