Sometimes we allow negativity get the better of us. It’s human nature after all. One negative thought or a quick moment of denial can expand like wildfire. The next thing you know, you feel like all your dreams are crushed. It’s those down periods in our life where just feel like we can’t make it.

That means that even on the days that you just don’t feel like it, the days you don’t have the motivation to show up, the days your bed is cozier than ever, the days the weather outside is just too gorgeous, the days you feel like the least creative person on the planet—you do what you have to do anyway.

Customizing your morning and evening routine to work for you is KEY in actually sticking to it. The secret to this is actually sticking to a consistent routine. Long-term commitment is what leads to long-term success.
