Habit building – what’s important?

I recently realized what’s important in the process of building a habit.

It’s doing it regardless of my mood.

Whether I am in the mood for it or not, it’s important to do it no matter what.

Even when I’m not in the mood, it’s important to work out anyway. Even when I’m not in the mood, it’s important to practice English anyway.

Plus, the joy of being the master of your mood, rather than being dragged around by it, is another bonus.
