Getting back on track.

The practice requires us to show up every day. However, if we miss our practice for a day or two, restarting it is challenging. At that moment, resistance has the upper hand. It tries to keep us off track.

The professional approaches this with patience. She understands that it will take time for her to gain her momentum again. She focuses on shipping the next task, however imperfect, however challenging. She knows that once she gets one thing through the door, the next is going to be easier.

Yes, the professional knows how to build a streak. But, more importantly, she knows how to restart one.
