And if you keep the habit alive, all you need is time.

But if you throw up a zero, now the streak is broken.

And sometimes one day can turn into five days and can turn into three months.

And then you find yourself wanting to get back on track.

And I think rather than asking yourself, what can I do on my best day?

You should start by asking, what can I stick to even on the bad days?

And that becomes your baseline.

Because you have this feeling of progress.

Now you have something that you, oh, look, I've made some movement forward.

You know, you have something to look at.

It's the difference between hope and evidence.

Now you have some evidence.

And so you have a reason to believe it.

Say, oh, look, you know, look at myself moving forward.

And that starts to feel really good once you stack a couple days together.

You know, it doesn't, I think this is one of the lessons of my work, which is it doesn't take much to feel good again.

You'd be surprised what you can do with five good minutes.

You know, five good minutes of conversation can restore a relationship.

Five good minutes of exercise will leave you winded and like reset your energy and mood for the day.

Five good minutes of writing will make you feel like the manuscript is moving forward again.
