New habits are hard to stick with. At first, when your desire to be something new is at its peak, it is easy to do the things you know you ought to do. But once the novelty fades, and it fades quickly, it gets harder.
I did myself no favors by getting a new game to play. It's one that fits my mood and I've always found games to be a great source of self exploration. But I can get obsessed with it to the point that I neglect doing the things I know I need to do if I want to leave the kind of legacy I want to leave on this earth.
The good news is that today I recognized that I needed to stop - and did it. Now I can focus on other, more important tasks (like sticking to my journaling). More importantly, I've taken a step towards a habit of maintaining balance.
