Consistency Versus Mindlessness

Jared Rice

Is it mindless to constantly do the same thing over and over and lose conscious thought about it?  When thinking about the daily commute or the grind of working for a big corporation in a low-grade job, then it seems prudent to stop and reassess where you are where you want to get to.

When thinking about daily habits, it seems more sensible to set it and forget it - to keep the existing ones and build on top. Unless you have bad daily habits, in which case replacement should be the focus.

The ones I am talking about are the ones that were developed from active thought.  Ones that were developed from Hal Elrod's Miracle Morning, for example.

These active habits: exercise, meditation, yoga, journaling, affirmations - these do not ever seem like they are mindless or futile to just keep doing every day.  Quite the contrary.  

Doing this practice every day helps to be more mindful, more present and more grounded.  And if you have reached the stage where you are doing them consistently without thought, then you have truly mastered the habits necessary to bring whatever wealth you desire into your life.
