Skip Your Morning Coffee for Three Days to Rekindle Appreciation.
When you do something every day, even if you enjoy it, it becomes a routine. Like your morning coffee. If you have a habit that has become boring to you, drop it for a few days.
As the advice site Barking Up the Wrong Tree explains, even the things we love the most can get boring if they become a habit. You may have started drinking coffee because you liked the taste of it, but now it’s just what you need to drink to get through the day. You don’t even like it anymore. If you’ve reached this point, skip it for a few days to hit the reset button and acknowledge it.
What did you love before that you now take for granted? Was that first morning cup of coffee a wonderful moment – and now it’s just something you swallow in a hurry? Well, skip it for three days … And then, when those three days are over, oh my God, SAVE this coffee – or whatever else you’ve denied yourself.
It can work for just about any pleasure that has become a habit. If you’re tired of listening to music, your morning bagel, or even getting into a routine in a relationship, breaking the habit can give you time to remember what your life is like without it. Spend a few days without turning on your TV or playing this video game and see how much you miss it by the end.
