Persistence is key. I'm feeling a bit guilty about not keeping up with my journal. The third day always seems to be the toughest hurdle when I'm trying to establish a new habit. Even though skipping a couple of days might not seem like a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it can easily derail my progress.

Am I setting the bar too high for myself? The "just do it" mantra isn't working for me right now. But it's okay. I can start over. I'm proud of my language partner for her dedication to language learning. Her consistency makes me realize how lazy I've been.
