Full Transcript: Many people believe that easing off will make their lives easier, but this is not necessarily true. Easing off can lead to avoiding responsibilities and taking the easy way out, which ultimately creates more work for ourselves. It may seem easier to skip the gym, spend more money, or be disorganized, but in the long run, these choices make things harder. Consistency and making intentional choices can actually make life easier. It's important to remind ourselves of the reasons why easing off isn't truly easier and strive to make the better choice, even when it seems difficult. Easing off is supposed to make our lives easier. At least, that's what we tell ourselves. What does easing off look like for you? Maybe it's looked like going to the gym less frequently. Maybe it's been spending a lot more or saving a little less. Maybe it's been not being as organized as you'd like to be in your house. Maybe easing off has meant overindulging or avoiding your favorite jeans for a few weeks. But I'm here to remind you that easing off doesn't make things easier. Avoiding the work isn't the same thing as making things easier. Often, we work to avoid things because it's too hard or it's too much, but that only increases the total amount of work that we need to do. Where have you eased off most recently? Might you feel better if you committed to consistency? For years, I lied to myself and I eased off because I told myself it was easier. And almost every time, it's harder. It would be easier to pick up pizza instead of cook the chicken I defrosted and planned. It would be easier to take the unplanned excursion on a Sunday instead of planning my food and resting and being intentional about the coming week. It would be easier to skip my date night than to talk about the things that are weighing on our relationship. It would be easier to just throw this in the drawer than put it where it belongs. It would be easier to give in to my teen instead of being intentional about guiding their path. Now, when I remind myself why easing off isn't easier, it reduces the appeal of whatever excuse I'm bargaining for. Create a new path in your mind. Why is it that easing off isn't easier? Sometimes, the easier choice is all you have left in you. But more often than not, you have one more good choice in you for that day. That choice is the ultimate easier choice. Choose that one more often.
