Why We Should All Change A Habit

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]A[/eltd_dropcaps]s humans, we are creatures of habit. Our lifelong mission is to get into good ones, whilst revving up the willpower to break bad ones. Many become part of our routine without us even realising. They make us who we are, offering safety, a sense of belonging and control.  

But if there is one common denominator for us all this year, it’s change. From the exhausting schedule of a key worker to the sudden standstill of someone suddenly furloughed (a word we’d never heard of before lockdown), any pre-existing habits have been turned upside down. We were all mindlessly (whilst attempting to be mindful) going about our daily lives when the cosy soft pile rug was dramatically pulled from under our overworked feet. We were searching for a work-life balance, yet we didn’t really know how to get there.
