I broke my reading streak, and I’m okay with it
Prior to this, I had a streak of reading for 105 days in a row. I was proud of that streak and I made sure to read at least a page a day to keep it going.
However, when I spent the night with friends at an Airbnb, I neglected to read and so I broke my streak.
Rather than thinking that I threw 100+ days away, I chose to see it as me being flexible with my goals and aspirations.
I could think that I wasted all those days, but instead, I see it as: I had over a hundred days of reading. This is a good habit and I intend to keep it up, but I won’t enjoy it if I pressure myself to be perfect.
Consistency and intention in reading are more important than ticking off a box for its own sake.
