4 Daily Habits that Keep Holding the Best of Us Back (Year After Year)
We ultimately become what we habitually do. If our daily habits aren’t moving us forward, they’re likely holding us back. Here are four widespread examples of the latter that keep holding many of us back, year after year (myself included sometimes), and some strategies for turning things around…Twenty years ago, when Marc and I were just undergrads in college, our psychology professor taught us a lesson we’ve never forgotten.
On the last day of class before graduation, she walked up on stage to teach one final lesson, which she called “a vital lesson on the power of perspective and mindset.” As she raised a glass of water over her head, everyone expected her to mention the typical “glass half empty or glass half full” metaphor.
Instead, with a smile on her face, our professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”Students shouted out answers ranging from a couple of ounces to a couple of pounds.After a few moments of fielding answers and nodding her head, she replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass is irrelevant.
It all depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute or two, it’s fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm ache.
