I don’t know about you, but I’m still learning and absorbing all the lessons which I learnt during lockdown. It gave me a new relationship with time, and a whole new way of reflecting upon my daily habits. Habits are, after all, the cornerstone of our lives; they are the daily things which create the entire shape of our lives. To quote philosopher Aristotle: “Excellence is what we repeatedly do.”
It’s the act of repetition, it’s the daily, small acts which actually create our life. It’s funny because we often think that the important things in life are the big one-off events: it’s the ‘once in a lifetime’ trip, or the big wedding, or the ‘best day of our life’. But actually, it’s the ‘thousands of times in our lifetime’, not the ‘once in our life’ that make us who we are. It is these times that really form and shape our experience of living. If we’re looking to reach a goal, that goal isn’t achieved based on a ‘once in a lifetime’ — it’s the daily habits that will make it happen.
One other thing that has been important to me has been the realisation that it’s not the time we spend living for the next big event, it’s actually living each day, each moment, in as conscious and as aligned way as possible.
