Never miss twice to maintain habits from "summary" of Atomic Habits (Hindi) by James Clear
To maintain habits, it is crucial to never miss twice. Missing once is a mistake; missing twice is a habit. When you make a mistake and slip up on your habit, it is important to get back on track immediately. The first mistake is never the one that ruins you. It is the spiral of repeated mistakes that follows. It is easy to let one mistake slide, but once you let yourself make the same mistake again, it becomes a pattern. The more you let it happen, the more it becomes a part of your routine.
To prevent this from happening, you must be vigilant and disciplined. If you miss one day of your habit, make sure you do not miss the next day. By getting back on track immediately, you interrupt the pattern of repeated mistakes. This sends a signal to yourself that slipping up is not acceptable. It reinforces the idea that your habits are important to you and that you are committed to maintaining them.
Consistency is key when it comes to habits. The more consistent you are, the more ingrained your habits become. Missing one day may not seem like a big deal, but it can set you back in your progress. It is easier to maintain a habit than it is to start one from scratch. By never missing twice, you ensure that your habits stay strong and continue to benefit you in the long run. Remember, the first mistake is a slip-up; the second mistake is a habit. So be mindful and stay committed to your habits, even when you falter.
