I’m a massive believer in the power of habits. I’m trying to say this without sounding like a mad scientist but I honestly think one bad habit in one department of my life could very easily breed a bad habit in another one. Does that make sense?
I’ve also lived long enough to recognise that as a kid I often avoided the things I didn’t really want to do; you know the usual bunch of plates that needed washing here, ironing that was required there…you get the gist!
Growing up over the years though there came a point where I got hit with this moment of realisation. If I shy away from something as simple as making my damn bed in the morning, what sort of real life challenge will I ever find the courage to face?
Avoidance is an easy habit to develop. At least from my experience anyway. The day I shy away from making my bed is the day I shy away from washing up after eating my meal, letting my laundry pile up over weeks and weeks and suddenly; I can’t keep up with my bills. Suddenly life is hard.
My music journey so far has been RIDLED with nothing but challenges. I make my bed everyday to train myself to run straight towards a problem when things go wrong, rather than running away or pretending like it’s somebody else’s responsibility. After all, everybody has to grow up at some point right?
