The visible progress you’re hoping for usually comes slower than you’d like. Even with consistent effort it can take a long time before progress feels significant. It might be a year of writing and editing before the book really starts to come together. You may need two years of recovery from a major injury before you notice just how far you’ve come. It may take two years of yoga before you realize how flexible you have become.
Take a deep breath, stop worrying about immediate results, and settle into a nice routine.
—James Clear
That’s what I’m doing now. Figuring out the nice routine I want to settle into. So far it’s going well…there’s no hurry.

You can take any situation, and make it better!
Yes, how we respond makes all the difference.
That’s a good way of looking at it. I’ve always wanted immediate results or I get discouraged and quit. I need to just establish a nice routine.
And figure out how we can enjoy the routine as much as possible.
yes to a nice routine, that helps you recover.
Yes. 🙂
I always always want immediate results. I did have to wait 18 months to lose the 70 pounds.. weight loss has to have a new routine and it takes a lot of time. Hope you find the perfect routine in your new normal.. I am a routine type person, and have to have one to function.. so this means maybe a year from now I will be able to draw better pictures? ha ha
We already love your pictures! But it will be fun to compare them.
…find your proper routine.
Yes.
I am not always the mist oatientvperson, but I do know that things can take time.
🙂
Yes, no reason to hurry at all.
🙂
Absolutely. Life can become a long test of patience.
Endless lessons to learn. 🙂
Commitment and patience, and enjoy the process as much as we can.
Look how far you’ve come already.
Yes!
That’s a great quote. I’m glad your routine is working out right now.
Thanks.
That’s what I’m going through right now, trying to focus on the journey — not how fast I can reach the top.
How fortunate we are to have a life coach like you!
Thank you!
Follow the doctor’s orders and take things slow and easy. We know you will do all you can to make good progress. Look how far you have come already.
I’m integrating the exercises into my daily life, including when I use the computer. That makes a big difference.
