Motivational Monday: Bad Habits and the Hole in the Sidewalk


Happy Monday to you my lovely LotionPotioners, hope you all had a lovely weekend.

For the last week or so I have been thinking a lot about habits, particularly the habits that we do all the time and don't even think about. Some good (like waking up and brushing our teeth) some not so good (like me getting home and putting my keys in some random "safe place" which means I'm inevitably running around and looking for them just before I leave the house the next morning!

I recently came across a poem by Portia Nelson that talks about a hole in the sidewalk and how being creatures of habit we continue to fall into the same hole even after we become aware of the hole. 


When I read the poem I laughed and thought, that's so silly, who does that? and then had that moment of clarity where I realised, oh gosh that's me!!
