I heard so many enthusiastic reviews that my inner rebel/cynic thought it must be too good to be true. I admit, though, that I was just a little bit skeptical because I kept hearing, over and over again, about James Clear’s Atomic Habits. I knew that habits were important and I understand that even tiny habits could, over time, have huge consequences for one’s life. So, I was not at all skeptical when I heard about James Clear’s Atomic Habits. Nearly a decade after my meditation practice started, my life is much improved and it’s largely because of some habit changes. First, I started making more of an effort with my social life, then I reactivated my exercise habit, and finally I added creative pursuits into my life. I started meditating, created enough mental clarity and stability to see that I was making some fundamental mistakes, and I slowly started to change them. Years ago, I was unhappy, stressed, lonely, and saddled by constant overthinking. If you give the practice long enough, you very likely may start to see the impact of your habits and be in a position to change them in a positive way. Even if you start a meditation practice with the aim of finding just a little bit more peace and quiet in your life, you inevitably will end up reviewing in detail your daily activities, the patterns of your mind, and the impact of your habitual reactions and behaviors. Anyone interested in mindfulness is almost by default interested in habits too.
