It’s easy to fall off a moving object
Falling off the wagon is not painless, but it is helpful. Hear me out. Industrious humans like to start out calendars with new actions to improve themselves. These desires are like those climbers who attempt to summit. Only some will make it to that spot they covet. The rest may fail. But they know that is a possibility before they tumble. The optimistic part of that scenario is that they still try to climb. So, if you fall off the wagon, you are still a climber. The good thing to remember is that you can learn a lot as you try to get back up. Seriously. No humans come up as automatic Olympians. If they did, trophies and ribbons would be meaningless. Once you have seen one event where everyone wins in a tie, there is no next event worth watching. The mystery of the outcome is part of the random reasoning built into who does what after they fall off the wagon and get back on. If your muscles get stronger just by the falling and climbing method and you manage to repeat it enough, you will eventually be able to hold on longer than everyone else. Think about it this way. If you eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day for lunch, do they all taste exactly the same? Of course not. The varying amounts of PB&J are what provides the scientific explanation to your brain on whether you liked the one you had today better than yesterday.

Option #1: Why is falling seen as a negative?
Option #2: What event repeats itself in your life?
Option #3: What do you eat the most and love?
That’s it. After you choose the option that best describes how you fall, take a few minutes to describe why you chose that option and what action, if any, may come next.
