set-backs on the path to growth

[studentofthegame]

Does anyone else experience a crash from time to time where you feel the progress you have made over a recent period of time has come to a halt and you feel as if you are starting back at the beginning?

I felt the momentum of positive habit building for a month, and although the habit has stuck, I've been in a slump for several weeks now and have lost the spark of 'what habit shall I build next?' and the confidence to do it. Some anxiety has crept back in and I have lost a lot of energy.

I think we probably all have slides and a tool everyone needs is recognising the slide, arresting it and getting back on the horse.

Thank you for the comments.

The emotional 'crash' I have experienced recently has lasted for a matter of weeks.

I suspect my work is to get back on the horse as quickly as possible and to some extent prepare for the next crash so that it takes less and less time to get over setbacks.

And old samurai saying, paraphrased: 'when the battle is won, tighten the straps on your helmet'.
