I think the key for me to remember this year is that things are going to happen, and I'm going to get derailed during them, but the quicker I remember to get back to doing the habits/practices that keep me on track, the quicker I'll be on my way again. I think a lot of last year going completely off the rails was that by the time whatever initial chaos had subsided, I didn't get back into those helpful habits/practices. I just... kept drifting.

At least, that's the theory :)

That sounds like a smart plan and one I should try and put into practice too when derailment inevitably happens. Thanks for the reminder.
Yeah, theory is easier than practice but zeroing in on that is always the first step to success, isn't it? :)
