"So, you've been waking up everyday and hiking? That's great!"
"Uh...no, not exactly. The hiking wasn't the point of the experiment."
"I thought you started a blog because you wanted to hike everyday."
"No. I was hiking when I had the idea. The hiking was symbolic of a life I want to lead. The kind of person I want to be."
"So, you've just been...waking up at 7?"
"Yeah."
"Oh."
"I know it doesn't sound like a lot but that's what has been so interesting. If a habit is small then a person should have an easy time changing it. But if a small habit is hard to change, does that mean that the habit is actually a big habit? Or even beyond that idea, could it be that the size of the habit isn't even a factor in how easy or hard it is to change? Maybe how a person changes a habit is more a reflection on that person's own tendencies rather than a reflection on the habit itself."
"uh-huh."
"I mean...I'll probably start working out next week...."
