routine – Faking It Made

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 198

Day 198: “Habitual Growth”

I’m trying to be good

Strong

Productive

And I’m doing it

I’m actually doing it

Don’t pinch me

Let me keep this up

Wait until it becomes second nature

Day 167: “Reinvention”

I’m getting into a new routine

Working out

Eating right

Rinse

Repeat

I’m starting to get the hang

Then I can get back on track with my poetry

Who said you can only become resolute at the start of the year?

Day 91: “A New Start”

I saw a video online that jumping 50 times to start your day makes you happier

I will say,

Today it did give me a boost

I’ll let you know how it goes

Boots on and off the ground journalism

Day 52: “Routine”

I’ve never been good at routine

One low energy day

One low energy hour

One low energy second

And I abandon all that’s good for me

I revert

To old patterns

Even if they don’t serve me

I’d rather

Have my new routines

Be my fallback

How do I get there?

Repetition

And

Routine

Or maybe it starts with intention

I intend to build better habits

There

It’s solved
