Creatures of Habit Walking Down the Street

Habit can be one powerful obstacle. Anyone who's tried to eat less, exercise more, go to bed earlier, get up earlier, stretch a comfort zone, or just try something new can relate to the gravitational pull of habit. That's the bad news. But the good news is that habit seems to have an Achilles Heel - getting conscious, and purposeful, about the choices you make.

Portia Nelson gets at this in her book called, There's a Hole in my Sidewalk. Under the heading of Autobiography in Five Short Chapters she writes, in part:

Chapter One
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in.

Chapter Two
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in ... it's a habit ... but, my eyes are open.

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
