Metacogd - Metacognitive Dissonance

"Forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit in persistence in practice."

Octavia Butler (via inspired-to-write)

I saw a related quote a little while ago that under stress you revert to what you do naturally; so if you practice (or make a habit of) what you need to do when stressed then that’s what you’ll do then naturally and it’ll be fine. 

And both are good points. Cultivate the behaviors you want and need as habits. becoming who you want to be is an ongoing project.

Oldie but a goodie.

Today is Holi also know as the Festival of Colour.

Holi is a festival celebrated in north India. It marks the coming of Spring, usually in March.Some families hold religious ceremonies, but for many Holi is more a time for fun.

Bonfires are lit and roasting grains, pop corn, coconut and chick peas are thrown on by Hindu families

The next day, people of all ages go into the streets for fun and paint-throwing. Everyone gets involved throwing powder paint in the air and coloured water.

Happy Holi everyone!!
