Get back on the horse
We sometimes get out of the routine of pursuing our passions. Avoid it for too long and your skills degrade. It might get to the point that you give up and feel like you can’t get it back. What if you can?
After neglecting my handstand practice for too long, I decided to use the tiny habit idea and settled on doing one handstand every day. This tiny habit practice really works. I have done it every day and most days I have done a decent warmup, mobility and some extra handstands. After a week I feel like I am starting to feel some progress which makes me happy and motivates me to keep going.
What have you given up that you’re ready to do again?
Hopefully, my questions cause you to reflect on your own thinking, relationships or choices. Maybe I even inspire you to make positive changes.

Addition through Subtraction
It is tempting to keep looking for the one thing you need to do to be happy. Sometimes we would be better off looking for things we can eliminate. To figure out whether you should give something up, compare the downside with the upside. I used to look at...
Technology – Boon or Bane?
Technology is supposed to make life easier and increase our productivity. Sometimes it seems like more trouble than it’s worth. To celebrate the end of our video challenge, I suggested to Duncan that we do a joint Facebook live. After an hour of wrestling...
How many days makes a habit?
It’s commonly said that it takes 21 days to make a habit. I wish it was that simple. If so, we’d all be a lot closer to our view of perfection. Can you make a new habit in 21 days? Yes, it might be enough for some habits. Things that are simple and don't take a lot of...
Reflecting on mistakes
Over the weekend, two podcasts I like approached a question about mistakes from opposite perspectives. I had an immediate response to the first question. The second one took a bit more thought. 1. What's a mistake you’ve made that you want others to avoid? In my 20s...
