Habits That Bend Don't Break Why do so many sincere attempts to build good habits fail? We try our best to be consistent, but some days are better than others. Inevitably, we fail when "life happens," because each day we try to hit the same targets regardless of the situation. How, then, can we make our habits more resilient to the turbulence of life? By making them elastic.Most people associate "elastic" with yoga pants and rubber bands. But the word also means "resilient" - the ability to withstand pressure. Elastic materials are far more durable than rigid and brittle ones, which will shatter under the slightest pressure. The same is true for habits.Traditional habits are unchanging: the same behavior is done at the same time to the same level every day. They work well until the pressures of modern life break their rigid and brittle shell. Elastic habits are fluid: they can change their form and intensity to suit each unique day. They survive busy, tired, bad days. They thrive in better days. If you're tired of the repetitive and exhausting grind to develop good habits, it's time give your habits the refreshing superpower of elasticity. Read Elastic Habits now, and you'll soon discover the life-changing difference of good habits that adapt to your day.

«Ultimate strength and success are made possible by empowerment through freedom and flexibility. Too often, we rely upon self-slavery to rigid, pre-set standards that can’t fit our dynamic lives. This creates significant frustration, tension, and procrastination. Eventually we quit in order to regain our freedom. By giving ourselves more freedom and flexibility to attack each day in the right way, we can build a very powerful and stable base for any behavior.»

«Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances»
