Sweat The Small Stuff

May 17, 2020

I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

Small choices are made to better ourselves. From the time we get up to the time we go to bed we’re making a lot of small choices. What choices we make determine the kind of person we are. I’ve been working on my evening choices a lot. Mostly trying to go to bed earlier and stop drinking at a certain point. I was successful last night in stopping drinking around 9 and then getting off my computer an hour later. I didn’t go immediately to bed and instead relaxed by watching a couple shows of community. This has happened for a couple nights in a row. It’s slow and small progress towards a better life. Rewiring the brain and habits can take time and it requires patience and small steps in the right direction.
